Frankly I've not met someone who's worked in retail in the last 15 years who's said they had a different policy. Even a cart full of shit is cheaper to pay for than the potential lawsuits from an employee getting hurt from trying to intervene.
Beyond that though, please don't put your life at risk for your employers merchandise. It is not yours. Your store carries insurance for a reason. Your life is not worth any of that shit.
I don't exactly see what that has to do with searching for peoples names or anything. Just that they accidentally CC'd him when talking about rejecting him.
They fucked up, didn't send him the interview time, then didn't hire him because he didn't show up to an interview he didn't know about. It's fucked, but not exactly relevant to this discussion.
So... they google your name, and said that specifically for a marketing role they want to see if you're good at selling yourself through your social media profile.
Obviously they google my name. My point is they're not going to go through and try to connect username after username after username to find forum posts from 2009 or some shit.
Your average HR lackey isn't going to go full 4chan stalker into you. Doubly so if you also have accounts tied to your name that you very occasionally post very, very mundane things on. They're not going to go looking deeper when they find your Facebook and see you're just wishing gamgam a happy birthday
There's a loud minority who think Joanne is basically their god-empress and think she can do no wrong. There's also a bit of people who became fans purely because their shitty views align with her shitty views.
Patient gets sick
House is wrong at first
Everyone is wrong for a while
They think they're right, but they're wrong
House has a random epiphany, steals $50 from Wilson, and saves the patient
I think the issue with point 2 is that most of the people doing the work know that, but the people making decisions tend to not. We've seen time and time again that companies will absolutely ruin their future prospects for short terms profits. This isn't going to be an exception, and a lot of people that the companies can't actually afford to lose are going to get laid off.
Whether or not we can blame starlink is going to depend on how aggressively they're going after them for it. If they're actively trying to shut it down, fine. Something tells me there's going to be a bit of a blind eye turned.
For any reason that isn't specifically a protected class
Although in practice that just means if they want to fire you for discriminatory reasons, they just don't give a reason.
