Trump humper colleague got canned yesterday...


At first, I tried to drum up some sympathy, but then conversation quickly descended into immigration gibberish of people coming here taking his job , nothing about how incompetent on the job he is, always late with his projects, never meets any deliverables, and overall how unprofessional he is. RIF situations are never good, and you never know how people are going to handle it,I remained civil to his face...but inside I was

Since Branch Trumpvidians will go running straight to lawyers when they’re held to account management probably want to make sure the ducks are in a row first so that he can’t come back at them. I’m guessing they probably wanted him gone a lot sooner but didn’t want to get in a situation where they’d have to take him back or pay him a lot of $ to settle up.

But I don’t tell customers about what I’m wearing. Or if I’ve had a shower or not.

in this case, even after being put on notice, and performance improvement plans, he continued with his poor behavior and entitlement by belittling others that did not look like him, being misogynist,so there is a huge difference than what you are internalizing..
He once told me, women like me, are taking jobs from men, in the work force, as I belonged at home, in the kitchen or bedroom..

I continue with as much training and other certification to keep myself marketable...

Which seems like it was what he really wanted to do, given that he thought immigrants were "taking his job".

which he woefully failed to perform in the first place...
He does not like all these 'libreuals wimmen' running for office either, it's wrong....that's as much ignorance, as I could stand, before I simply walked away

The teabaggers and trumpers are so ignorant with their pat phrases like "immigrants taking our jobs" that they can't even answer the one question I always want to ask them - "just which jobs in this country are they taking from you?"

I have zero sympathy for these types.

They're the last refuge of people who never put in the effort to make something of themselves.

If they didn't have their racism to fortify their self-esteem, what would they have?

Take away all of the illegal immigrants, and they'd realize what kind of shitty, useless human beings they really are. But as long as the immigrants are around, they can externalize all their blame.
