Absolutely, that was my first thought. Such a mocking, nasty tone when the request to retire sexist gender terms to designate firefighters is eminently reasonable. WTF, Jezebel?

Yeah, what’s with the snark? It’s a minor thing, but surely we all understand that “minor things” are how patriarchy persists. Kind of shitty to make fun of a good-natured call-out like that one.

Not sure I get the mocking tone here. It seems like a reasonable tweet!

One whose crazed spawn tried to murder him via pizza pie, I assume.

Rectum? Damn near killed ‘em!

You gouda crime, you mozza do the time.

Wait till he finds out that the guy fucked his mom too.

Sunday Content Bot strung words together based on a complicated human attention measuring algorithm.

Riot makes hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Merrill and Beck are probably making a wanking motion with fistfuls of hundred dollar bills as I type this. They aren’t changing a damn thing until the money stops rolling in. You want to get their attention? Hit them in the wallet.

I worked at a warehouse that was all men (they said women would just slow down business) and fellow employees and even the boss would get on the walkie talkies and say sexist and racist things like, “no means yes bitch!” or, “white power!” or, “kill the n*****s!” and everyone would laugh. The HR was the wife of the…

“We collaborated with experts to build an investigative process that we believe will lead to the right conclusions.

I haven’t worked in a bro culture company but was hoping someone would enlighten me...

I addressed that in the article.

As someone else said, HR serves the interests of the company. From the sounds of it, one of the most egregious offenders was one of the people in charge of things, so HR may have acted against the interests of the employee. While filing an employment lawsuit might have been the right thing to do, it can be a path…

Agreed. HR is mostly to protect the company from legal issues relating to employees. If the easiest way to fix a problem is to fire you on an unrelated past offense, they will do that.

Words are wind- these guys have zero intentions of going anywhere. I bet you dollars to donuts that they think they can weather it out. LOL @ the law firm they hired, Union busters? Yeah, they give zero fucks about employees and 100% about mitigating damage done to their brand.

HR isn’t there to help employees. Don’t fool yourself. And many individuals don’t have the presence of mind or financial stability to hire a lawyer.

Dr. Disrespect is still much more like you and I than he is like Beyonce. I bet he still lives in a normal house in a normal neighborhood.

No, we don’t need to imagine because every so often, you hear about it on the news. It goes from people breaking into their homes and waiting for them, to, you know, being killed like John Lennon was.

Man the world is full of fucking crazy people, and the more you put yourself out there as a public figure, the more the crazy just comes to you. I don’t know how real celebrities can stand it. If Dr. Disrespect is getting shot at, can you imagine how nuts it must be to be like Beyonce or something?
