“We wanted a message of unity,” organizer Dayne Webb, youth chair of the Kalamazoo Young Republican Party, said at the vigil event, WWMT reports. “You know that’s what Charlie was all about, is bringing people together, no matter if they disagreed or agreed.
HAHAHA WHAT
They are so delusional
bringing all the bigots together?
JFC, the least amount of awareness.
I think they misinterpreted a call to “round people up” as “bringing people together.”
Would they be fired for refusing to print a KKK poster for a dead member? It’s no different.
And yet we allow pharmacist to refuse to provide plan B without being fired.
Yeah, but that’s just for JEEEEEBUS.
Office Depot taking a stance and drawing a line in the sand.
They could have been like Walgreens/CVS who back pharmacists for refusing to fulfill prescriptions based on their personal beliefs.
Wait, what? No! Who’s the good guy again? None? Ahhfuck’emall.
who back pharmacists for refusing to fulfill prescriptions based on their personal beliefs.
Yeah, I remember that crazy shit. That is just so wild - get a prescription from a doctor and have some dipshit who just needs to count out pills decide they need to veto that decision?
The fucking audacity.
You would be surprised how many prescriptions need to be vetoed by those dipshit pill counters to protect patient safety. That being said, if any medical provider refuses to provide a legitimate treatment that is medically necessary (such as plan B or abortion pills) and not with excessive risk, they need to choose a new profession.
What a wanking fascists world we live in.
Never be honest about things like this. “We were having problems earlier. Would you be alright with tears, smudging, and crumpling? If not come back in a couple of days and we’ll have it sorted out.”
Oh no, somebody shit all over it repeatedly throughout the weekend by accident. Don’t worry, you can barely tell. Had one of my colleagues wrap it up for you and put it in your car when you came in so you’re all set.
Sounds like some “sincerely held beliefs” if you ask me.
So, to recap: post something politically incorrect in opposition to Kirk - get doxxed, and lose your job. Refuse to support propaganda from supporters of this Nazi - lose your job.
Y’all motherfuckers need a Union!
Fascism is Capitalism’s immune system. The wealthy use it to protect their grip on society, particularly when large scale factors like a pandemic, war, or poor leadership put that grip at risk it.
The optics on this are crazy. Sure the worker refused to do their job, but Office Depot could have used way more tact. I have no sympathy for whatever happens to them, but that can be said of all corporations.
Good to see people taking a stand against this monster.
I might be in the minority here, and I have lost zero sleep over Kirk’s death, but I don’t really want or need Staples/Office Depot workers to decide what should and should not be considered propaganda, and therefore printable material.
Just print my shit.
It’s the hypocritical asymmetric application of the policy that’s the issue here. Employers are retaliating against non-fascist workers for refusing to do work supporting fascist ideology at exactly the same time as they’re rabidly defending fascist workers refusing to do work that goes against fascist ideology.
I kind of feel like this is kind of one of those rare cases where we should ideally be letting the free market do its thing.
If a print shop, bakery, etc. wants to refuse your business on ideological grounds like this, you take your business elsewhere and tell everyone else to do the same.
It of course kind of falls apart with big companies like office Depot, where they’ve often driven all of the local competition out of business and someone can just keep running their complaint up the corporate chain of command until they reach a soulless bean-counter who only sees dollar signs.
Like they don’t have corporate rules for printing already. Guarantee you could easily find the limit for what the bosses consider propaganda.
Sue them. Sue them good and hard.
If I ever were to go to Office Depot I share wouldn’t now. I guess my 40 year streak will continue.
Good for them. They did the right thing and will find work from a local who catches this.
Office Depot gonna take a small hit for this one. Target has had it rough too from all angles.
