You ask seriously?
Yeah pal, seriously a LITERAL statement..sheesh laugh a little.
Muckraking at its finest.
I do appologize to the orignial poster for the highjack, but the exchange of finger pointing and bleeding heart statements about how horrid it is to jump to conclusions about a person's character without all known facts is silly to me.
Someone behaves like a lunatic, you treat them like a lunatic. I do not support the line of thought that "oh no, we cant jump to conclusions about someone without knowing ALL the facts"
Sure we can, I do, yes I will say it. I judge people all the time, every day. Someone who comes to provoke an individual at their place of work and start fights is rediculous. Straight out of the syndicated legacy of Jerry Springer.
They are trash, I wont even bother going into the debate of how and why individuals earn this title beyond superficial actions. Those same superficial actions are what I judge them on. Judging is easy. It is what you SHOULD do as part of a community in my oppinion. Tolerance towards these actions and behavior patterns because ALL of the facts are unknown is nobel. It is also rediculous and unrealistic. Not everyone deserves a chace, not a second shot to turn themselves around. Life is not fair.
Someone behaves stupid, they are an idiot. No second chances for "bad days, or dog just got ran over and they were upset" blah blah blah. They get branded Idiot!
As for poking at strippers, yep, I claim that statemnt also. Just purley because it is funny. I only wish I could take the credit. It is a one liner from a comedian. I have more but perhaps they would be better shared on a different venue. It is Shallow, hurtful and probably mean to those poor poor misguided single mothers but it is funny as heck so I stand by it. I never intentionally go out to offend. Not directly of course, if someone gets ruffled in the exchange I do recognize their feelings. I do not however think it is a travisty that shocks people the way portrayed by above posts.

I have to be honest with you, I also find this thread to be pretty objectionable. I think that you made an assumption that your tax dollars somehow supported this jerk's kids, to play the poor-little-taxpayer card. My guess is that you have no information that these women were on welfare, but that slight embellishment added credibility to your working class hero story... especially after you were called out on it.
I may be wrong but that is what I derived from your story. Anyway, you worked with a jerk. I don't feel bad for you, though... I feel bad for those kids. If my tax dollars are used to help these unfortunate kids who are born into a terrible situation, then I say the $ is going to a good cause.
If you are truly a hero, don't complain about his kids getting food on their plates... go punch the guy in the face and tell him that you don't like deadbeat dads. Then you may be the working class hero.

+1 on Crimzy's statement. The fact is that the children have to be taken care of in some way. They are the important factor. Does it matter whether your tax dollars pay for the food on their plates or would it be well suited that neither one of their parents did anything for them and then you'd be paying for them to live in state provided homes that furnish everything? And who's the bad person in this picture? The mother trying to provide for her children or the guy that's not keeping his job to help support them?
IN order to make a correct statement on this situation you need both sides and not a visual assumption over an incident at your workplace. Just my 2 cents.

I may be missing something here. But aren't unemployment benefits partially funded by the government? Hence, culp is paying for this guy to get a check for nothing. i know for sure they run the infrastructure for unemployment.
But imo you need to review your HR practices. There is no way in the world you should lose that case. Employed for less than a month, then he walks out. Plus you need to talk to a good lawyer that can advice you on your HR practices to mitigate that risk. Thanks to trial lawyers and some bleeding heart ideology. This country has turned into a soak the guy who is smart enough to make money.

I thought maybe this deal was a scam. Guy uses "ex-wife" to get fired and collects unemployment as long as he can.
I just checked and if you quit, walk off the job, tell the boss to get bent etc. you are not eligible for unemployment benefits in the state of Indiana. Didn't think you were. I had an issue in California where a girl I fired was trying to get on the gravy train. No ticket for here because she was fired right. Because she was canned for a willful act she wasn't eligible. I figured it was like that in most states.
Either the government workers in Indiana are really stupid or you aren't getting the whole story.

You always have to presume that when something doesn't sound right, there's usually something that you aren't being told. I can pretty much assure you that the guy is not getting unemployment if he was only working for 30 days.

Then again this is the government we are talking about...

Almost 40% of babies born in 2007 are from unmarried women! Are you going to say that most wont be living off of the govt. I dont know these people but I have no problem blaming them for a huge part of this decline in America. I am sick of my tax money taking care of these parasites. I have no problem with the taxes going to help disabled, elderly, or mentally impaired. We as americans need to stop facilitating these people. I agree that its not the childrens fault but just giving these idiots more is not the solution. And dont tell me hope this doesnt happen to me and someday I may need govt help because I have been there. It never occured to me to turn for freebies. People just want everything for nothing.
Everyone cant be a democrat because someone has to work
gone fishing!
