I don't see why this issue is so difficult for you, wearing the tie didn't effect the employee in any way; but it was offensive to the majority of the customers.

Would it be okay for me to wear a t-shirt of an almost nude woman while wroking at OBGYN clinic? Hey, it's a free country right?

nothing on his tie was offensive - your nude tshirt would be offensive.

keep your panties in a bunch if you want but i think firing someone for wearing an inoffensive tie simply because you're pissed off about a football game is ridiculous.

edit: then again, maybe it's cuz i love yankin yer chains!! 😉

To me, I think the employee overstepped his bound on this one. He should have worn the tie on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday...but wearing it on Monday its like he is throwing a fresh pile of steaming crap in their customers' faces.

He was given a chance to take it off...multiple chances and he didn't. I think the employer is well within his rights here.

We have become so precious that we defend a guy who openly defies the instruction of his employer regarding his work uniform. Again, the dude was given a choice....and he made the wrong one....

Agreed, Porforis. The employer has the right to determine the uniform of the job. The man was given a choice, and he decided his tie was worth more than his job. No sympathy for the narcissic douchebag.

Same as I should have the choice that the face of my company should not be full of piercings and tattoos. Get past your Packer pride, everyone. It is his business to run as best possible...and he gave the guy a choice...and he made it.

If an employer has a dress code it has to be a written code. It has to be spelled plainly in the employee hand book. It has to be presented to and agreed upon before hiring the employee.
Employers that change their dress code after hiring employees have to allow for leeway in a transition period.

Otherwise the employer can tell the employees that only black is acceptable color to wear. Two weeks later they can come back and say only blue. Two weeks later purple. They can't use the argument, "Hey it is our company dress code." It won't be acceptable by the courts.

You can't wear the packers tie because we have a promo with the bears. So if you drive a ford do you have to take the bus to work since its a chevy dealership ?

Things are pretty simple when you try to fool yourself into thinking that you understand how someone else's business works. I fail to see how wearing a Packers tie in Bears country CAN'T affect a SALESMAN'S job performance.

I dunno. Maybe not every single person who goes into the dealership is not a bears fan? :shrug:
the Chicago radio yesterday said he was a good salesman. Perhaps he is selling to other people. Perhaps he has a great shtick that overcomes people's objection to him being a Packer fan.

packerfanoutwest (12h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (12h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (12h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (12h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (13h) : Who? What?

beast (22h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
