  Oh then yeah I’ve got no fucking clue, firing the last person who brought it up absolutely should be illegal.

    Depends on the details of why they were fired. We’re obviously only getting one side of the story here

  1. Be in an industry and location where finding a backup job is not impossible
  2. Record yourself telling HR you’re afraid for your coworkers and yourself
  3. Email HR a summary of your meeting

  Optional subsequent steps

  1. Get fired
  2. Take the audio to a labor attorney who will take your wrongful termination case for free
  3. Profit

    Also make sure you live in a one-party consent state.

  I hope your friend can heal, sorry for what your dealing with

    functioning reform system

    Sounds like you want them staying a Club Med and being waited on hand and foot. Gimme a break! Jk it is an absolute catastrophe and the US should know better since it’s such a fucking pro at locking up about 1/200 citizens. (!!?). sorry.

  Where I work, most positions do not require a background check so we have a mix of people (men, women, trans, nonbinary) with criminal convictions, including sex offenders.

  The only thing that matters is their behavior in the workplace. You get fired because of attendance or poor performance.

  The biggest problem people at my workplace are the people who try to make someones past an issue.

  Also, your statement that you “highly doubt that changed him” is very telling. Basically it shows that you are the one with the problem. Unless you have firsthand knowledge then you are trying to justify your negative feelings.

  Maybe this last time changed them. Maybe they got help. Maybe they’re in therapy and are trying to change.

  This person and your employer are under no obligation to do what you want when there is no justification other than your own personal judgement.
