I don't think someone should lose your job just because they don't like a certain group, even if you're, say, an active protestor against same love marriage. I only see a problem a) if you bring those views into work, and directing feelings towards customers, employees, business partners, etc, or b) your activities outside of work are not non-violent --- Quote from: PhantOS on March 28, 2017, 03:07:39 PM ---The problem is that if you express your disrespectful opinions outside the job, the chances are some people are going to know you work at that location, and it will still reflect really badly on the business. --- End quote --- Hmm, after reading the thread, yes this is a fair point. It shouldn't be that way, but it is an unfortunate truth that some people will see their statements and think they reflect the views of the company |

There are people who dedicated their entire lives to this stuff back in the 1800s and studied how public relations shapes business prosperity. Edward Bernays, Harry Gordon Selfridge, Marshall Field, etc etc. These guys were born in like 1910 and essentially pioneered consumerism, business theory and public relations. They're also the ones that proposed the philosophy that 'the customer is always right.' This stuff still holds true today- if you piss off the customer, not only will that one customer no longer shop there, they will notify their friends and family to not shop there, and those people will also tell they're friends about the bad experience. Soon the news will spread and ratings will drop, and you will lose a large portion of your business. This is all tried and true business practice. It may seem like 'only one customer' lost to you, but one customer lost is one product not sold. If you let your ratings drop even a little bit your stocks plummet into the abyss. PR managers have trigger fingers and weed out this disorderly conduct the moment they see it, because even one minor scandal with one employee can cost the company billions of dollars. |

The poll is asking about perceived distaste, which could just mean people starting rumors about someone. So I'm saying no to that. Maybe OP did switch the poll. I didn't personally see it happen, but he seems like the type of person who wouldn't be above doing so. |
