Hydro worker fired for yelling FHRITP to female sports reporter

[Omega10]

I really do think we need a continent-wide investigation across all social media, get everyone who's ever said anything derogatory fired

Agreed. There are lots of people who have common decency that should be in these jobs instead.

Wait, this is a trend in Canada?

He acted stupid, he should be reprimanded. I'm not sure losing his job is the right way to go unless he was clearly representing them in some way.

Minimum wage employees acting like citizens from the lower parts of society.

SHOCKING!

Lol, minimum wage on a 107k a year salary? He is one of the reasons our fucking hydro prices are getting out of control, because there are too many overpaid HydroOne employees making that kind of salary.

Under what circumstance would this have been appropriate and not funny?

In an Adam Sandler movie?

Should have been wearing glasses and a hoodie.

its just a joke

nothing serious

people offended are worse than whatever....


Didn't your parents teach all of you to have a little respect with each other? I also tend to make rude or even worse jokes - but i do this in a close group of friends - not complete strangers.

"She should grow a backbone" - i would say: "Some people here should grow up and try to be decent to each other" ....

Wasn't a smart thing for him to do. He was free to say it. Certainly not free from the consequences of his action though.

Pretty much yes. You can say whatever you want, but in front of a camera and a microphone, your actions are on the record and you can be held accountable for anything you say or do.
