Wear a Packers tie & get FIRED!

[Palantir]

Man fired for wearing a Green Bay Packers Tie to work in Chicago...

How utterly stupid & what a lame excuse.

Makes about as much sense as a burger joint manager saying, "We sell hamburgers "Mr. Employee" and we put adds in the City paper- so you can't read a magazine here."
:crosseye:

I hope the dealership loses a ton of money just because the manger's a moron.

I agree, that's pretty foolish decision making on the part of management. Now if he had been wearing a Baltimore Ravens tie, perhaps I could understand.

Have to disagree. For a car dealership, the sales person is who represents your entire organization. Given the pretty rabid fan base in Chicago, I would think it could be very bad for business, especially in such a competitive business like car sales, to have reputation that this organization supports the Green Bay Packers.

All in all, it is foolish, but I can see management's side of the story as well. Plus, it was some very bad decision making on the part of the sales person to wear such a tie out on the floor, so if anything, he may have been fired for having shi*ty judgement as well and really nothing to do with the tie in and of itself.

Crazy. I've worn a shirt that says "I Swear I Didn't Know She was 3" (with a little pink untied shoe next to the lettering) on it at the office and I didn't get fired!

Bet you weren't asked to play Santa Claus at the office Christmas party the next year either!

He was told several times to remove the tie. Could be plain insubordination as well.

That pus*y Cutler saw to that. He's a drunk and everyone in Denver was more than happy to see him crash and burn. I am more of college FB guy myself, but did catch the game and what a wuss. At least that kid from Colorado State went out there and gave it his all.

Sit down honey and let's see what comes up!
