Topic: heres something interesting | |
---|---|
If memory serves, the OP said (in a different thread) that he worked in a bakery, or some such. I highly doubt there's a lot of fear of intimate competitive details there, certainly nothing which would stipulate or prevent an employee from dating a customer. I was not speaking to the OP but to you because you were asking for clarification in what I perceived to be general terms. And my response was not directed at you, either, but to the thread posters at large. I am noticing you have some sort of irritation with me and it needs to stop. I have been nothing but friendly and helpful to you. |

Well I still say it does not have anything to do with whom he was dating but the fact that he had turned in his 2 week notice prior. The company had no reason to keep someone that was quiting anyway and most likely had replaced him. But why suspend him without pay, just because he was dating a customer? That makes no sense. I'm relatively sure it had nothing to do with letting out Bubba Gump's Secret To Catching Shrimp. I mean, even if he HAD given notice of his departure, and they either replaced his position immediately or decided they just didn't need him anymore anyway, they could've just terminated him and be done with it. Why let him ride out his two weeks without work or pay? It is a chicken chit way of doing so but this way they company did not actually fire him. He had turned in his notice to quit and so since they suspended him from work not firing him it does not give him a leg to stand on as far as un-employemnt. At least this is what I think. |

It works both ways. You also retain the right to walk out at any point. They figured he broke a rule so legally they could do that and he was leaving anyway. |

depending on the business, dating a customer could be a potential conflict of interest. But I would assume that you would know that before.
Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders arent allowed to date Dallas Cowboys. I don't think that is fair |

Sigh, you just reminisced about Debbie Does Dallas.. admit it, admit it....

Who said life was fair? In this country it's less than fair and even further from honesty. In fact the bigger phony you are the further you will get in this country. If you can't see that then you really aren't paying attention.

And I was just reminded, arogance will get you a long way too.

It was April the 41st, being a quadruple leap year
I was driving in downtown Atlantis My Barracuda was in the shop, so I was in a rented Stingray, and it was overheating So I pulled into a Shell station They said I'd blown a seal I said, "Fix the damn thing and leave my private life out of it, okay pal?" While they were doing that I walked over to a place called the oyster bar -- a real dive But I knew the owner, he used to play for the Dolphins I said, "Hi, Gil!!!" You hafta yell, he's hard of herring Gil was also down on his luck Fact is, he was barely keeping his head below water I gullied up to the sandbar He poured the usual Rusty snail, hold the grunion, shaken, not stirred With a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side -- heavy on the mako I slipped him a fin -- on porpoise I was feeling good I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's Squids -- for the halibut Well, the place was crowded We were packed in like sardines They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal -- what sole Tommy was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna -- "Salmon Chanted Evening" And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers Probably there to see the bass player One of them was this cute little yellowtail And she's giving ME the eye So I figure, this is my chance for a little fun You know -- a piece of Pisces But she said things I just couldn't fathom She was too deep, and seemed to be under a lot of pressure Boy, could she drink She drank like a... she drank A LOT... I said, "What's your sign?" She said, "Aquarium" I said, "GREAT!!! Let's get tanked!" I invited her up to my place for a little midnight bait I said, "C'mon baby, it'll only take a few minnows" She threw me that same old line "Not tonight -- I got a haddock" And she wasn't kiddin' either, 'cuz in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock I'd ever seen come down the pike He was covered with mussels He came over to me, he said, "Listen shrimp -- don't you come trolling around here" What a crab This guy was steamed -- I could see the anchor in his eyes I turned to him, I said, "Abalone -- You're just being shellfish" Well, I knew it was going to be trouble, and so did Gil, 'cuz he was already on the phone to the cods The haddock hits me with a sucker punch I catch him with a left hook He eels over It was a fluke, but there he was, lying on the deck, flat as a mackerel Kelpless I said, "Forget the cods, Gil, this guy's gonna need a sturgeon" Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend She came over to me, she said, "Hey big boy, you're really a game fish" "What's your name?" I said, "Marlin" Well from then on, we had a whale of a time I took her to dinner I took her to dance I bought her a bouquet of flounders And then I went home with her And what did I get for my trouble? A case of the clams |

Its all about what you are allowed to do and what the company is allowed to do. If you do find their policy something you can not live with, then no one has a gun to your head forcing you to take that position |
