SAN FRANCISCO — Some same-sex marriage supporters are urging people to "call in gay" Wednesday to show how much the country relies on gays and lesbians, but others question whether it's wise to encourage skipping work given the nation's economic distress.
Organizers of "Day Without a Gay" — scheduled to coincide with International Human Rights Day and modeled after similar work stoppages by Latino immigrants — also are encouraging people to perform volunteer work and refrain from spending money.
Sean Hetherington, a West Hollywood comedian and personal trainer, dreamed up the idea with his boyfriend, Aaron Hartzler, after reading online that a few angry gay-rights activists were calling for a daylong strike to protest California voters' passage last month of Proposition 8, which reversed this year's state Supreme Court decision allowing gay marriage.

Not in this freaking country. It takes an act of Congress and 47 reams of documents to get rid of somebody these days.

I think 47 reams is what they want.

It's a fairly active discussion on one of the other boards I post on, and considering that it's insubordination and no show, it's not that hard to show a clean firing.
The real trick is to have sufficient discernment to be able to spot the turkeys that'll pull a stunt like this on you BEFORE you hire them.

I have mentione this before, but it bears repeating -- any and all AA laws and rules work AGAINST the "protected" class. It is much more difficult for the "offended" person to mount a legal challenge before a legal relationship is established than before.
I worked for the State of California when the ADA was passed. Word came down -- HARD -- in hallway discussions away from eyes and ears: do NOT, under ANY circumstances hire anyone with a disability -- you won't ever be able to fire them.
From what I can tell, that is still the operational edict today. If gays want that kind of protection, they will get that kind of employment.
And if they think 2% of the population staying at home will make any difference then they are, well, nuts.

That depends entirely on the company. It's been my experience that managers and supervisors are routinely hung out to dry because the corporation is completely afraid of litigation. I've seen it over and over again.
And yes, of course, being able to spot the shithouse lawyers before they're hired on is a real gift. When you're looking to hire an entry-level person and that person is hireable (not so easy these days), the ability to spot the turds becomes even more troublesome.

I can just hear it now:
"Hey boss? I can't come in today, my ass is tired". :-)
Lord help anyone who calls off tomorrow and is actually sick.
-
In my state, you can be fired without cause. No reason has to be given. The problem arises when the boss gives a reason that isn't "PC".

LOL I thought of that today when I heard about this.

And on Thursday, the rest of us can call in "not-gay" and see how valuable we are?
Ugh...these self-important groups are getting more annoying...

What's next..
"Sorry, boss, I'm just too ****in' lazy to show up at work today, but I'll raise a pint to ya. Cheers ! "

There's a joke around my office that someday the "big dogs" will announce that, "All non-essential employees may leave at noon on Friday." Then they'll just conduct a roll-call around 4:30 and fire everyone who is not accounted for. :uhsure: :-)

That would be awesome...............awesome
I'm actually giddy thinking about that.................... :cheersmate:

I will call in "faggot" to not work today. :lmao:

I wonder if my Tinkerbell supervisor will be in tomorrow. :uhsure:

This will just encourage Fred Phelps and toadies to lash out at America for being too "friendly" to gays. :mental:

Not really because it will be a dud -- not that all the gays won't call in: they will. It will prove once and for all they are only 2% of the population (which many resarchers have determined) and not the 10% they say they are.
On top of that (forgive the pun) they aren't significant in the workplace. Some (hopefully many) will be fired. The economy will be better for their loss.
This is a GREAT event. Similar to the gift of May 5, 2006 -- it will be pointed to over and over to say "they ain't shit -- don't waste your political capital on them' to politicians.
Besides which, I can't WAIT to see who isn't the office tomorrow. It would be a BAD day to get a cold.

Short of hospital or jail, I'd be turning up early that day...well, I turn up early anyway, so maybe extra early.
-
And I have tomorrow off. Kind of really would like to see if my boss, and maybe a few others I suspect would show up.

The DUmmies like to hang catchy names on everything they do ....SO, what they calling this?
"GAY DAY" ... for all homo's
"PAY DAY" ... for the free money
"MAY DAY" ... for the commie ones
"HAY DAY" ... for where to do it
"BAY DAY" ...for the city by the bay....San Fran
"LAY DAY" ...for beginners
"RAY DAY" ... but you doesn't have to call me Johnson
"SAY DAY" ...just for the lezboes
"WAY DAY"...and a day just for instructions

Hmmm, 2% stay home and there is 6% unemployment. Where some see a problem, others see opportunity!

Does anyone know if Bawney Fwank, Kathleen Falk, and Herb Kohl called in sick today?
-
Is this another example of Being gay doesn't affect anyone else & gays don't want to change anything.

Nope, but I'm positive that Harvey Milk didn't show up at his office. :evillaugh:
