90. Many years ago I worked for a very nice, family oriented tourist business. One night

Wed Jun 10, 2015, 07:50 PM

Jun 2015

a couple of young men who worked for that company got somewhat inebriated and used their pickup truck to make donuts and otherwise tear up a common area next to some wet lands that led to the river.

They got caught and arrested. The incident was reported in the local newspaper and the the company fired them immediately on reading the article. For bringing disrepute to the company.

More recently, someone I know was arrested for something that happened long before he started working for that company. That made the newspaper with some seriously hyped up "facts" on steroids. His employers fired him too... because too many people knew who he was and that he worked for that company: bringing disrepute to the company.

It's pretty much standard practice and has been for probably as long as people have employed others.
