They think anybody can just leave their job and entire life, pack up everything they have and simply emigrate to a foreign country. Just to avoid a random event that they will never face.

Are you suggesting there might be something suspect about people who suggest you should move to a country that's only 4% Black for "your safety"? And has no province over 30% minority?

In today's episode of sure Jan. A ree asks if he should fire his imaginary racist employees -

I recently was notified that while an all-hands meeting was being conducted, two employees engaged in some “if you can’t speak English you shouldn’t work here” rhetoric. I assume that this was due to a translation requirement for our Spanish speaking population at the facility. This was overheard by others and reported/backed up by witness testimony. HR swiftly conducted an investigation and have recommended firing the two employees for discrimination(assuming language)/zero tolerance.

While I absolutely cannot condone this behavior/conversation, I am curious your thoughts on if termination is warranted or a bit extreme. It may be worth noting that these specific employees hold positions that would require the ability to speak English as a job requirement, however, there are many other jobs within the facility that do not require the ability to speak English.

Thoughts on this or perhaps experience with a similar scenario?

es, I have not heard specifically what was said, and I’m not sure I will. In the original post I was paraphrasing based on what I heard. However, even if remotely close, it’s negligent and I do agree with many of the posters here, veiled racism.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. As mentioned in another post, I was paraphrasing based on what I was told and do not know the exact verbiage. However, I don’t see how it could necessarily be less abrasive even if worded differently, so I’m inclined to believe it is as bad as it seems. These individuals will be let go tomorrow, I’m sure we’ll hear denial or some sort of justification.

I don't subscribe to the "Jim Ryan era of awfulness" quite as much as others do just yet. PS5 seems like a really solid launch, and it's the best year one of PlayStation that I remember, between BC and the quality of the first year or so launch titles. The hardware is amazing, the dualsense controller is a fantastic. I'm loving it.

But is this largely just momentum from the previous generation team mixed with a bit of Cerny genius? I don't know. However this is strike three or four now for Jim Ryan. Lets see, what can i think of?
"We believe in console generations" and a bunch of PS5 exclusives developed for next gen, that turned out to have PS4 versions. Not the worst thing in the world, but kinda inconsistent marketing that seeds a slight lack of trust.
Game price increases, combined with promoting free upgrades to PS5 versions when the PS5 version was $10 more. I didn't mind the price increase too much. NES carts weren't much less almost 40 years ago. Hell, Activision and others were already on the way to charging that anyway, this was just Sony's first party going hand in hand. But the whole saga of Ryan saying there would be free upgrades, when there is clearly a $10 price difference between PS4 and PS5 titles was sloppy as fuck. A dumb mistake that make people unnecessarily confused and annoyed, for something that's already a bitter pill to swallow.
"lets not talk about abortion, email" - Sony had the same policy as just about every other company (except bungie and a few others), but Sony stands out because of that stupid email. Better to say nothing.
Now this upgrade tier pricing bullshit which is stupid and weird. Give people their damn discounts and stop being such petty little number bods. I think this will be reverted and resolved, but it's doing PR damage already. This service is already going to get compared with gamepass, and it's going to be tough to compete. MS are leveraging their 2 Trillion market cap by leaving gamepass loopholes that they can write off and boost their numbers with. Sony have to weather a short term storm against difficult competition here to come off well at all, and this is a terrible way to start it.
Finally, this will be controversial, in fact, fuck it, i'm going to delete it because I don't want anyone to interpret it as platform waring.

User Banned (1 Month): Dismissing Concerns of Transphobia over a Series of Posts; Prior Ban for the Same

why does comedians being friends surprise people on here?

there's a high chance any comic you listen to holds Dave in high regard.

these people tell jokes for a living, they aren't your heroes.

So, are you saying Trans people aren't rightly upset to go to a show that doesn't have noted transphobe advertised to appear, when noted transphobe takes the stage and does transphobia on stage?

Its one thing to acknowledge that comedians privately share similar opinions, or overlook them and remain friends with people that hold them, but the upset here is less 'Can you believe Mulaney is friends with Dave Chapelle' and more 'Why the hell did they spring Chapelle and his transphobia on an unsuspecting audience?'

Comedians this big might as well be sorority.

Many of them have each other's back.

See the Patton Oswalt and Dave Chappelle thread here previously. And from the sounds of it the crowd was mostly receptive side from those conscious of the transphobia.

At least three staff members signed off on this after discussion.

I honestly don't remember much as it was a pretty small part of the set (as was his take on the supernatural, despite it being the fucking title), but basically he said comedy having "rules" is stupid, as that goes against the entire point of it.  He was basically just saying people trying to police comedians by telling them what is and isn't off-limits are idiots.

that jokes aren't inherently funny / not funny, they're funny to people for whatever reason, like things arent inherently offensive, they're offensive to people for whatever reason was the gist.

also that words aren't actually literal violence, so making a joke about punching a disabled child had the audience laughing in a way that actually punching a disabled child would not.

also he'd rather watch louis ck masturbate than a 'woke' comic, and touched on kevin hart getting oscar #cancelled for some 10 year old jokes he'd already apologised for and deleted from his twitter, with the gist that if apologies hold no weight there's no point making them.

"KARL, PLAY A RECORD" is almost a catchphrase where Ricky is the one stepping in to stop things becoming overtly and unironically homophobic / racist.

[HaughtyFrank]

It's not sexual assault, but let's be honest, the joke is pretty distasteful and if the roles were reversed, it would be something straight out of an early 2000's sexist sex comedy.

It's almost like a man being disrobed has not the same connotation as a woman being disrobed.
I never get the "if the roles were reversed" comments. It's not a math equation.

Whenever they make this argument I feel like they don't really make an argument as to why it would be drastically different. Like the core problem of sexism is after all that people get treated differently based on their sex, so why is that now a valid explanation?

Mind you, I don't mind the joke at all, it's just weird that the people who laugh at it would be up in arms if it happened to Natalie Portman's character.

Something DRASTIC needs to happen at this point. I’m talking like every single school going on strike, students not attending school, ect.

SOMETHING needs to happen.

Good idea expect students aren't going to attend school during the summer.

Tens of millions of people should DRASTICALLY do SOMETHING I want to try and make other people do what I want!

Unfortunately I'm too busy trying to cancel 40 years worth of Playstation service subscriptions but I'm with them in spirit.

It's not sexual assault, but let's be honest, the joke is pretty distasteful and if the roles were reversed, it would be something straight out of an early 2000's sexist sex comedy.

It's almost like a man being disrobed has not the same connotation as a woman being disrobed.
I never get the "if the roles were reversed" comments. It's not a math equation.

Whenever they make this argument I feel like they don't really make an argument as to why it would be drastically different. Like the core problem of sexism is after all that people get treated differently based on their sex, so why is that now a valid explanation?

Mind you, I don't mind the joke at all, it's just weird that the people who laugh at it would be up in arms if it happened to Natalie Portman's character.

Funny how that dipshit says its not a math equation, when they are treating it like one.

Sexualization of female character = Negative
Sexualization of male character = Negative

But when you add the two negatives together, you get a positive! So sexualization of male characters is definitely good!

Maybe anonymous should hack all republicans senators shit and threaten to expose them if they do not vote for gun control.

This user is really something.

If America won’t give up guns, maybe it’s time for leftists to arm themselves against the tyranny and oppression of our facistic government. I’m sure the GOP would be okay with that, right? I mean, they wouldn’t want to infringe on our second amendment rights after all.
