    You really need job regulations. In my country if you gonna fire someone you have to pay a lot of money, this way companies think twice.

      That’s true in the US too. If someone is fired without cause, the company has to pay unemployment.

      I’ve been the manager of completely shitty, toxic people who cause harm to the company and lead to massive turnover of other staff, but was unable to fire them because they showed up on time and met dress code, and corporate wasn’t gonna pay for unemployment.

          “Being toxic” is hard to define in an employee handbook.

          “We don’t like you” isn’t not considered good cause for termination. It’s 100% legal to fire someone for that, but they get to claim unemployment.

        Do you have to pay unemployment if they’re fired with cause? Because I’ve definitely seen (and experienced) constructive dismissal over some very petty things.

          No. But aside from failure to show up on time or theft it can be hard to document cause.

          Constructive dismissal is an employer trying to get an employee to quit specifically to avoid having to show cause. If the employee quits, then the burden of proof is on them, not the employer.

            Apologies, I guess my terminology is incorrect.

            What I meant is that I’ve seen people written up for vaping ~2 feet too close to the back door or showing up <5 minutes late or any number of other frivolous things in hopes of avoiding unemployment payments.

    The internet: Body shaming isn’t right

      Yep. I’ve been utterly disgusted by so many people in this thread and kinda regret ever posting this. At least I found a whole lot of people I can tag as being problematic as shit to keep an eye on. I don’t know how anyone in their right mind believes that it is okay to mock someone based off of the way they look. I kinda do it off of actions. Doing it off of looks is just childish horseshit and I expected better of people here. They should feel incredibly fucking ashamed of themselves.

      All these pathetic redditors who left the site but not the mentality.

      This is fundamentally no different than making fun of someone for obvious plastic surgery. Choices were made.

      This guy is clearly choosing to look like this.

        So… if someone can’t help how they look then you shouldn’t shame or mock them but if you choose to look a particular way then get fucked? That is a truly fucked up moral to try and proclaim. That it is totally acceptable to mock someone for their looks as long as they’ve chosen to look that way.

        What a shitty, fucked up and miserable little world you must live in. Why don’t you show us what you look like? I’m curious what decisions you’ve made. I mean… fair is fair. Right?

          Yep.

          It’s funny how you’re acting superior but have no problem judging the world I must live in as being shitty.

          The difference between you and I is that I don’t lie to myself. It’s a subtle difference but actually leads to living in a world that is less shitty.

          Maybe one day you can join me but you’ll need to let go of that gate your keeping yourself behind.

            Judging peoples choices regarding their own body that has nothing to do with anyone else makes the world less shitty.

            Well yes. Because Im judging the world you live in, not you. I’m saying that if you go around doing this, you’re going to see nothing but misery and contempt everywhere you go. You on the other hand are openly mocking a person. There is a difference between these two. Should I get the crayons to help out on that explanation? And if you want to whine that I’m not being nice to you, you broke the social contract and decided that it’s okay to mock people to make the world better. I’m just using your rules.

            The difference between you and I is that I don’t lie to myself.

            It’s a subtle difference but actually leads to living in a world that is less shitty.

            Ahhhh, my mistake. Sorry. I didn’t realize that attacking people for how they look actually makes the world less shitty. Makes total sense.

            Maybe one day you can join me but you’ll need to let go of that gate your keeping yourself behind.

            Brother, you are openly judging someones appearance and saying you’re allowed to mock them but saying I’m the gatekeeper?

            Good luck with that.

            By the way, I’m still waiting for you to post what you look like.

            I mean you’re saying that we get to mock people based off of appearance to make the world better. Show yourself. Let us see what you look like. Never know. Maybe the world needs to be made better?

      I think that’s a common thing in that community. A lot of them are pretty open and humble about it. I was surprised nobody on the left realized how close transgender community and the body building community actually are. They both share body dysmorphia and both use hormone replacement therapy to feel like themselves. I was really hoping to see one community stick up for the other but instead the right co-opted gym culture and people on the left alienated yet another community by attacking that culture at the same time the right co-opted them.

      At the end of the day guys like this have put in a tremendous amount of work and that’s what makes them happy. That’s an incredible amount of work and effort. It’s not about pleasing you or anyone else. They do it for themselves. They try to always expand what the human body is capable of doing and it’s one of the most encouraging communities for new people to join. That’s because you join you just need to show up and do the work

      People might look at me and think why would anybody like to play so much Factorio. Or why does this guy keep going rock climbing when he’s already torn a tendon.

      People do things that they like to do regardless of what anybody else thinks or without some ulterior motive for it.

      Sure some people might have body issues and this is the result, but for the vast majority of people they’re doing what they enjoy and doing it for themselves.

      I worked at Apple and one thing that always stuck with me was their approach to Positive Intent, we assume that people are being honest and the best selves and so we assume that of people until proven otherwise. Someone cuts me up in traffic, oh well perhaps they’re in labour and heading to the A&E.

        I completely agree with your comment; the idea that a total stranger would assume you play so much Factorio specifically based on just your looks is very funny to me. I imagine an individual just plastered in Factorio paraphernalia.

          I would imagine they have pale, waxy eyes with unkempt hair, sunken eyes, and constantly muttering to themselves about Factario things.

          Plus they would disappear for days on end.

      Maybe he enjoys working out, maybe he doesn’t mind taking steroids, maybe he wants to win body building or powerlifting competitions?

      People like you shit on men looking like that and then go into other posts and tell people who talk shit about obese/bulemic women’s bodies that they are misogynistic assholes.

      Quit being a fucking hypocrite.

        I don’t talk shit about people who are obese or bulimic because that’s rarely a choice, more of a disorder (I didn’t misread you, I’m just clarifying). This guy spent huge amounts of time and effort to do this to himself. It’s not something I understand. But as I reflect, that’s also something like disordered thinking.

        I’m not a hypocrite, but you’re great at making assumptions about me.
