Technically? Private employers have every right to police what their employees do and say in their off time.

Would I work for such an employer? Hell no.

Not really. They don't have a right to "police" anything. They have the right to no longer employ you from their end. While both may result in you being out of a job if you post racist stuff all over your social media, those aren't the same rights.

No, an employer can't make it a rule that you cannot post racist things. You can post all the racist things you want. But good luck finding an employer who will happily continue to pay you if they find you doing it.

Man, listen to yourself.

Re: Non-fandom Secrets

(Anonymous) 2016-08-06 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
I am happily doing so. :)

Employers don't owe you a job no matter what you do, that's how reality works.

WTF? Where did I argue they did?

Re: Non-fandom Secrets

(Anonymous) 2016-08-06 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
When you implied employers having the right to discontinue employing you if you posted racist stuff all over your Facebook was somehow wrong?

If a job is not owed to you, can you explain why that is wrong in your view?

Where did I imply it was ~wrong~?

Re: Non-fandom Secrets

(Anonymous) 2016-08-06 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Right about when you declared you would never work for ~such an employer~; emphasis mine.

Re: Non-fandom Secrets

(Anonymous) 2016-08-06 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Please explain to me how that means I think it's ~wrong~. This should be good.

Re: Non-fandom Secrets

(Anonymous) 2016-08-06 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, I'll give it a shot, since you asked. Why would you never work for such an employer?

SA

Again, if you only want to work for employers who do not care *at all* about what you do off-hours, you're going to need a lot of luck. There are plenty of unspoken rules that employees follow even if they aren't in their contracts. Such as: do not trash talk your own business in public. Do not trash talk your boss in public. Do not randomly spew hate speech in public or say you hate dealing with certain customers where they might find and read it.

Note the repeated use of "in public" in the above paragraph. If you're going to do those things, the idea is to at least have the sense to hide.

Would you call that "policing"? Because those are all common ones people get fired for doing in their "private time" and pretty much understood by every employee ever. If you can't handle even that, realistically... good luck with your self-employment gig.

OK

Re: Non-fandom Secrets

(Anonymous) 2016-08-06 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Because I do not want what I say in my off-time policed by my employer. And yes, I call it "policing" when the punishment for an unwritten rule is termination, though I can see where that's a bad choice of words since the rule is unwritten. So maybe my real issue here is that I wouldn't want to work for an employer with unwritten rules and arbitrary termination policies.

That doesn't mean I think any of this is ~wrong~. I completely agree with you that no one owes anyone a job and that private businesses should operate as they see fit.

But do you post white power memes on Facebook?

Re: Non-fandom Secrets

(Anonymous) 2016-08-06 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
No. I don't use Facebook because of their policy of arbitrarily removing content.

But I'm also no longer sure what constitutes "racism." In the current outrage culture, people have had their lives ruined for much less than white power memes. There are some topics we can't discuss rationally anymore at all without the R word getting thrown around, and that's a problem.

Re: Non-fandom Secrets

I totally understand why people would start calling you a retard for these arguments. The R word kind of fits, terrible as it is.

I kind of wish we'd only use the R word for idiots like you and not mentally disabled people. They're usually far nicer and understanding.

You sound like someone who posts racist things and gets reported often, tbh.

Re: Non-fandom Secrets

(Anonymous) 2016-08-06 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
good luck finding a job, then, because unless you have a contract, most employers operate on an "at-will" basis and can fire you at any time for any reason they want.
