The one person that matters the most to me was fired from his job yesterday. He worked as a DJ at a very pristegious radio station.

He has very strong beliefs when dealing with certain issues. Recently, he sent emails to state legislatures urging them to give the citizens the right to vote on the proposed marraige amendment. He happened to mention his position at the radio station, and the name of the radio station.

Yesterday, they called him into work for a meeting. They gave him no warning at all. He was questioned about the email, and he said that he had, in fact, sent it. The owner of the station was visibly upset with this. He gave him no second chance, no slap on the hand, not even a suspension. He was fired.

Now knowing he had lost his job, my friend felt that he had nothing else to lose, and let him know how he felt. He told the owner that he knew he hadn't cared for my friend ever since he started there. He said that this was only an excuse to get rid of him. This set the owner off. He stood in front of the door, not allowing my friend to leave, and and said "Don't F*** with me." Then he demanded my friend's key to his locker. When my friend refused to hand over the key until he had retrieved his belongings from it, the owner had the manager escort my friend out of the building.

First question: Was this appropriate behavior by the owner over such an issue?

Second question: Was this fair grounds for termination, or would a warning/ suspension/ demotion have been more appropriate?

hard... some things cannot be forgiven.... especially in certain cases involving media. A lawyer who speaks his mind in a courtroom and is racey to the wrong peeps can be banned from practicing law forever.

I remember this one thing were there was a hold out and the reporter gave away the positions of sniper positions and directly endangered the lives of officers trying to negotiate a man down... that reporter should have been fired.

Yes, well, but my friend never went on the air with this. He emailed these people on his own time, at his home. The only problem was that he mentioned where he worked.

the manager sounds like a dick.


you know your friend friend can sue him for not getting his belongings back.


tell your friend to punch the dude because he seriously sounds like a dick

The wrong reporter can twist the truth and lead a lot of heat unto a station by just mentioning offiliation... i doubt he had cause to fire though.

Oh yes... Let's look to violence for the answer. This way, my friend can go beat the crap out of this person and go to jail, rather than remaining calm, looking for another job, and talking to lawyers about his case.

Oh... I almost forgot. The Owner of the radio station also threatened to have my friend arrested if he sets foot on the grounds or calls any of the stations again.

poor guy

if he punches the s.o.b all he would get is a 100 dollar fine and comunity survice.


believe me i had so many battery charges.

i dont wannt to read.
