Time Warner fires vet for lowering flag to half-mast
http://twitchy.com/dougp-3137/2016/0...got-him-fired/
A Marine vet lowered the flag outside Time Warner Cable HQ to half-mast on Memorial Day. He was fired because his manager was disturbed by his "passion for the flag and [his] political affiliation."
I kind of wish I had TW just so I could drop 'em.
There's got to be more to this story.
"There are no finger prints under water."
Well, I guess manager will get terminated too...
"his manager was disturbed by his "passion for the flag and [his] political affiliation."
^not a good reason to terminate an employee.
The bigger the organization, the bigger the idiocy. Look at our government!
Per Ardua ad Astra
I'd say it's a great case for a lawsuit- but he was a contractor... calling it "firing" him is a bit misleading. Would all depend on the terms of the contract.
Don't get me wrong- the manager should be fired, or at least forced to watch countless hours of crappy, painful HR videos about policy.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ, we are the III%, CIP2, and some other catchphrase meant to aggravate progreSSives who are hell bent on taking rights away...
Looks like he was a contractor to TWC, and the contracting company fired him. Still a buncha BS, I hope he crucifies them.
There's a lot more of us ugly mf'ers out here than there are of you pretty people!

It's all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits.....
Clickbait. It was 2:30pm, and the flag should have been at full staff. As I see it he was in the wrong, though I feel for him and his sentiment. Bad play, Marine.
Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

Worthy of terminating his employment?Originally Posted by bigshane
The character of a man can be judged by how he treats those who can do nothing for him
This is why I don't subscribe to their propaganda BS corporate media tv network or spend $$$ on Hollywood movies etc etc.
I hope they loose all their viewers and go bankrupt one of these days.
He chose to bite the hand that feeds him through social media.

Minutes later, Thornwell noticed the flag was back at full-staff. Angry at what he saw as a sign of disrespect, he shot a short video in which he swore twice while complaining about the situation.
He also later put up pictures of the flag on Facebook with the message 'So many years wasted. I'm telling you ... PEOPLE DON'T GIVE A F***.' The images were stamped 'Timewarner'.
Those videos and images could no longer be seen Monday.
