And in fact, if someone doesn’t care about the suffering of animals, I want nothing to do with them.
stay strong bro
This isn't a shitpost, it's a little touching and breaks down stereotypes. Well done OP
I rescued baby raccoons from a dumpster once.
You really need job regulations. In my country if you gonna fire someone you have to pay a lot of money, this way companies think twice.
That's true in the US too. If someone is fired without cause, the company has to pay unemployment.
I've been the manager of completely shitty, toxic people who cause harm to the company and lead to massive turnover of other staff, but was unable to fire them because they showed up on time and met dress code, and corporate wasn't gonna pay for unemployment.
Only in some states
All 50 states. At will employment makes it legal to fire people, but it doesn't relieve the employer of the requirement to provide unemployment if the employee is terminated without cause.
It just means they can't be forced to keep an employee on staff.
So we need better job regulations and mass unionization
Massive turnover and being toxic should be a good cause?
"Being toxic" is hard to define in an employee handbook.
"We don't like you" isn't not considered good cause for termination. It's 100% legal to fire someone for that, but they get to claim unemployment.
Exactly. Usually to fire someone justly for a reason like this, the employer needs a trail of documented incidents, feedback, and coaching. There needs to be an effort by the employer to provide opportunity and resources to improve conduct. Then if the employee does not follow through or continues to show less than adequate performance, there is a better case for termination

The internet: Body shaming isn't right
This thread: Yeah this guy's a freak and I would never want to look like that.
Good job guys
Yep. I've been utterly disgusted by so many people in this thread and kinda regret ever posting this. At least I found a whole lot of people I can tag as being problematic as shit to keep an eye on. I don't know how anyone in their right mind believes that it is okay to mock someone based off of the way they look. I kinda do it off of actions. Doing it off of looks is just childish horseshit and I expected better of people here. They should feel incredibly fucking ashamed of themselves.
All these pathetic redditors who left the site but not the mentality.
Even fitness models only look like that on the day of the photo shoot, it isn’t healthy
That I know. One of my best friends in high school used to be a body builder. Got absolutely swole and would dehydrate before his competitions. And while I would never do that to myself, I supported him fully as that's what made him happy.
Edit: We don't know if this dude is competing and if he's close to a companion if he is. It's not rightto body shame, and you can't act as if it's for health purposes off of one picture.

Is he able to move his arms or are they too big to like move around and stuff. Idk what I'm trying to say. It just looks like it's hard to even hold his phone properly lol
That's as high as he can raise his phone. There's a reason that he has to use a mirror to take a selfie
