What they said. We actually talked about Hooters in my HR class last year.
Have y'all heard that Hooters Air is shutting down (except for chartered flights)?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Anyone have any miracle tips for getting new shoes to stop making your heels bleed?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh. I thought Brenda was saying they could fire you for being a white guy, and that Hec was saying they couldn't fire you based on your gender or race.

From the "hearing problems are funny" department:
I walked past my coworker's radio, on which the person said the phrase "Hispanics who are coming here."
Definitely thought he said "asthmatics in plumbing gear."

I totally thought that tommyrot was linking to an article about female genital mutilation.

With the foot stuff you can also sometimes find these fuzzy stick-on things specifically made to stick into the back of shoes. The actually stay on surprisingly long. Sometimes putting something slippery like Vaseline on the skin helps.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I thought Brenda was saying they could fire you for being a white guy, and that Hec was saying they couldn't fire you based on your gender or race.
I think she was saying people mostly don't get fired for being a white guy in real life.
I am superclose to falling into the trap of spending days on end playing with my data, making different kinds of charts and shit. It's trouble!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
They can fire you for being white or male?
Yes. They can't discriminate based on sex, race, color, national origin, physical disability (unless, say, you're blind and applying for a job as an airline pilot), religion, age (over 40).
Everyone has a color, race, and sex.
This is why the term, "reverse discrimination" makes my head explode. No one owns discrimination. According to the law, if all of your superiors are black with dark skin, and you are black with light skin, and they treat you like ass because of it, you've got a case based on discrimination because of color.

To drive a point into the ground, I asked if they could fire you for those reasons and she said "pretty much, yeah." It's possible my question wasn't clear--it's not about if it happens, but if they can, legally, do so. So whether it's likely or not, "pretty much, yeah" and "protected class" contradict each other.
I had some great blister bandaids that were smooth and shiny and lasted for a couple days that I could put on my heels with difficult shoes until I had a chance to put shoe-stretchers in. I'm not sure if it was one of these, but something close enough.
