Tell me what you think about THIS....
« on: May 16, 2008, 01:32:33 AM »
As im at work today, my boss find out im a furry and fires me because of it. About 3 hours later my friend got fired to because he was a furry. I was one of the best worker there. I worked the longest, almost the cheapest, and almost never was wrong. (worked in computer tech stuff) Just because im a furry isnt a reason to fire me. Least i got another job already....

Just though i'd share this with you.


(BTW  :fu: <-- to you, my old boss, and all you other furry haters out there.)

Please leave a comment too.

As far as I know, it is illegal to fire anybody for belonging to any kinda social group. If I'm right your friend could press charges.

i could but that wouldnt change anything. I would still be a furry and my boss would still hate me. people would look down on me and would be the ONE TO ASK anymore..... besides, i got another job already.

He cannot fire you because of it. Did he fire you right away? Do you have an ''union'' at your work? If so well here you can request 2 weeks of salary, looks at yours.

Sew him, cause 1. it was wrong 2. it'll #^*%(*#* his reputation up.

I guess it depends on your principle.

There are too many haters in the world. At least your new job seems okay and it'll only be a matter of time until more people realise what your old boss is really like.
The farewell was premature. My definite stay is not definite. The constants are variable. The greeting was too late.

Did being a furry in any way interfere or cause a commotion at work?
Did you volunteer you where a furry or did he find out some other way?
Does he fully understand what a furry is?
If so does he think that its some sort of sexual thing?
Did he fire you in person at work, on the phone, or in the office in front of everyone?
and lastly, was he calm when  he fired you or was he mad and abusive?

all these will tell if you can take action, if the firing was just, and if your boss is a moron that doesn't know jack just assumes.

I knew there where furry haters at work so i tryed to keep it un known.
Im not really sure how he found out but he did. No he called me a sick animal (i dont know if i could post the last word on these forums but i think you know what it is.)
He fired (well i should really say fired. i should say laid me off) me in private but i think he told some people cause some of my friends at work wont talk to me anymore.
He was calm but i could feel his happiness in getting rid of a furry.

since he laid me off (just said fired cause i know that ill never work there again. happened to one of my cousins. (not a furry though)), i dont think i could really sue him but i dont really care. My new jobs better anyways. Even if i did *$##*% his reputation, he is still gana hate me. Also i cant really get the money for a lawyer right now but that ok cause i want gana sue anyways. My new job i get 50% more pay anyways. In a way, im kinda glad he layed me off.

He made me more money.... =3

If you live in America, I'd at least contact the ACLU and see what they say.

Your probably better off. Work is work why throw personal things into the mix. Now that you know how he feels work would never be the same. But at least you didnt deny your being a furry. Thats respectable. Some people would crumble in that kind of situation.

Get a lawyer and sue for discrimination. if you can't have that job, and already have another on, why not make out as much as you could from a civil suit?

         I would just put it all behind me, unless he continues to harass you such as calling you and such like that, then you sue for discrimination and or get a restraining order.  Speaking of which don't use work computers for personal usage because others have ways of finding things out.  Just recently there was a huge drug bust near me because someone used a work computer to contact the people to sell them the drugs.  Keep personal things personal.   :)

I'd say if your new job pays more and you're happy with your new job I don't see any reason to sew him. As far as I know my boss is no where near like that. He maybe ex-marine but he's one of the coolest people you will meet. I'm guessing someone found out by, if one of your friends from work had found out by being on your computer at home and telling your boss...or you were on a work computer and had furry related stuff on it and someone was in your account or elsewhere...and saw that...and told your boss...

There's one guy at my work who knows I'm a furry, I'm not sure if anyone else at work knows it though...as him and I are both on lX-Box ive...and my signature thing on it says "Furries United Recon" it's my Clan Tag for COD4 [FUR]  and he hasn't treated me any different since he found out...

But yea...in general Keep work and personal stuff separate...
