Every job has a gross misconduct clause that they can apply for situations just like these.

Except her bigoted commentary wasn't at all connected to her work, and if her settings were private (not willing to trust her just saying that her profile was), whether the contract's gross midconduct provisions (if any) apply becomes less of a sure thing.

Online settings matter? I thought everything on the internet is public domain no matter what.

From what I read, she posted it, a co-worker took a picture, then she took it down. Co-worker showed it to boss who fires her.

So you can sue over this? I got fired over some comments I made on MySpace 5 years ago.

I would argue it is connected to her work, unless you can prove that cold stone creamery has never served anyone who is non white. Want to take the case now?

His name is Brandon…he from Compton…he got rapper friends…and he’s your league’s next superstar. Cry!

Knicks fans, can you imagine what Jennings is going to do to you? He’s gonna be slicing through that defense like V for Vendetta. Then, after the game, he’s gonna slice through security and find Donnie Walsh and stab him in the damn heart.

I guess Kobe feels like averaging 30 again. At this point, he’s like Keanu at the end of the first Matrix. He became who he was supposed to be and now he’s just gonna do whatever he wants.

Cold Stone should have made a stand. It worked for Chik fil a.

Hahaha, well unfortunately for Cold Stone they aren't based entirely in the bible belt.

If they were political statements, maybe (but still probably not).

This is why playing devil's advocate can be weird - no way in hell I'd take a case like this
