Its so strange to me that people still
post things on their Facebook page that gets them fired. People will
have their coworkers that will rat them out, their page public, or
just flat ot don't give a fuck about what they post.
This 32 year old
guy Ryan Uhler of Florida (of course!) thought he was being funny
when he posted a comment comparing the legalization of gay marriage
to marrying his dog. He wrote “How is marrying a dog different if
you love them? Today I hope we can focus on doggy-style love. I love
my dog Rocco, and he loves me. Hopefully one day we can be married.” I just heard all of you sigh heavily.
Soon after his job, Grace Investment
Group, laid his ass off as a digital marketing specialist. Hmm. This
whole thing is starting to sound like a terrible ploy to advertise
himself. Sure there are better ways to do it. “I was blindsided. I
didn't think anyone there knew how to use Facebook.” Oh, I see he's
a smart ass too. He said that he posts things on his Facebook to get
reactions out of people and to get conversations going. That is all
fine and well but obviously he didn't know his audience well and now
his ass is fired.
“I really didn't want to offend. I
have gay people I know and love and I wouldn't want to offend them,
but they know my sense of humor.” Sounds like the ol' “I'm not
racist I have Black friends!” line. His job said he was fired
because they weren't cool with him alluding to banging his pet dog.
The company doesn't have to really explain why they fired him because
Florida is an at will state which means you can be shit-canned with
no explanation given. Uhler doesn't think he was fired because of the
joke though. “It wasn't about that at all. It's about loving a dog.
People have told me, 'I have a dog and I'd make that joke too.'”
He also gave a warning for everyone.
“The reason I'm coming forward about this is that I don't want
anyone to make the same mistake I did about posting jokes like this
on Facebook.” He is married by the way. To a woman. I'm sure she
wakes up looking at him regretting her decision to be with a guy that
would be this damned stupid. By the way, I checked his page and the
shit is still wide open. Some people just never learn.
