I don't know if she had it at one time and burned out (that certainly happens) but she's certainly in the wrong profession now.

Instant Karma....gotta love it. ashredux Sep 2021 #1
I don't think all of her Karma was instant. Dustlawyer Sep 2021 #56
Well, her lack of empathy was right there for all to see. Prof. Toru Tanaka Sep 2021 #60
I was using the term as it is commonly used in the current vernacular ashredux Sep 2021 #77
She could do that dflprincess Sep 2021 #91
And a worse human being. RVN VET71 Sep 2021 #123
On the one hand, yay. malthaussen Sep 2021 #2
They have the right to protect their image. BlueStater Sep 2021 #6
By all means, on the job. malthaussen Sep 2021 #12
I agree with you in general not fooled Sep 2021 #34
I mislike the principle. malthaussen Sep 2021 #37

Sure, that's a contractual obligation. malthaussen Sep 2021 #45
Companies CAN and DO "hire and fire for arbitrary reasons." ShazzieB Sep 2021 #100
Exactly right. Plus, with the web, bad behavior becomes widely spooky3 Sep 2021 #103
This is true. It is also illogical. malthaussen Sep 2021 #129
If an employee makes important decisions... reACTIONary Sep 2021 #142
Of course. I'm talking about principles. "Ought," not "is." n/t malthaussen Sep 2021 #128
Yes, I understand what you are saying PatSeg Sep 2021 #50
She works in an at-will employment state, so legally it's moot. malthaussen Sep 2021 #55
I disagree as well PatSeg Sep 2021 #86
I suspect it's also a "right to work" state, plimsoll Sep 2021 #104
That is "employment at will." "right to work" means that spooky3 Sep 2021 #110
Right, but she wouldn't have a union protection either. plimsoll Sep 2021 #119
My point is that you were confounding "right to work" with spooky3 Sep 2021 #124
They are different, but strip workers of potential protection. plimsoll Sep 2021 #126

Tennessee has employment-at-will as many states do. LiberalFighter Sep 2021 #80
Yeah, understood. malthaussen Sep 2021 #84
They are fire her for any reason or no reason ar all. You get that, right? Dream Girl Sep 2021 #102
I'm talking about principles, not legality. n/t malthaussen Sep 2021 #127
Tennessee is likely a right to work state, and her employment with CIGNA was likely "at will" Fiendish Thingy Sep 2021 #85
See this post: spooky3 Sep 2021 #111
They aren't regulating her conduct qazplm135 Sep 2021 #113
I agree with you. LisaM Sep 2021 #7
I agree in some cases, but not this one. wnylib Sep 2021 #81
The Reasoning Is Sound, Sir The Magistrate Sep 2021 #8
By that reasoning, Sir, it is reasonable for Hobby Lobby to fire a woman for using birth control. malthaussen Sep 2021 #22
Protected classes are excepted. eggplant Sep 2021 #32
Well, that disposes of one objection, anyway. :) malthaussen Sep 2021 #42

Your Initial Gambit, Sir, Seems a Stretch The Magistrate Sep 2021 #52
Those are good points, Sir. malthaussen Sep 2021 #61
Then you wouldn't last long at my job. AngryOldDem Sep 2021 #75
I'm retired, it's moot. malthaussen Sep 2021 #78
A perspective that I think you are missing is this: spooky3 Sep 2021 #108
Not "missing" so much as disregarding. malthaussen Sep 2021 #131
most posters have bent over backwards stopdiggin Sep 2021 #98
It would appear we've had different life experiences. malthaussen Sep 2021 #133
I strongly disagree with employers not hiring or firing an experienced worker because of their Backseat Driver Sep 2021 #109
Tennessee is an employment at will state irisblue Sep 2021 #9
I was going to say the same thing. llmart Sep 2021 #16
Sure it is. Does that mean I should approve of at-will employment? malthaussen Sep 2021 #26
Cigna got in front of this BidenRocks Sep 2021 #41
So Traildogbob Sep 2021 #48
Yeah, I think that was pretty absurd. malthaussen Sep 2021 #53
It Really Traildogbob Sep 2021 #59
It's very possible that she'd already radical noodle Sep 2021 #13
Or maybe she had some sort of irritating "squeaky" voice that Backseat Driver Sep 2021 #112
It's likely that someone who would publicly laugh radical noodle Sep 2021 #121
She showed depraved indifference. blm Sep 2021 #15

Infection control is an absolute cornerstone of the nursing profession. Wingus Dingus Sep 2021 #99

No, some actions are protected by law and are spooky3 Sep 2021 #154
A school board meeting is not private life Mysterian Sep 2021 #130
It's not related to work, however. malthaussen Sep 2021 #132
If she robbed a bank, neither would that be "work-related" Mysterian Sep 2021 #135
If she robbed a bank, she would have a felony conviction. malthaussen Sep 2021 #151
the irony is Skittles Sep 2021 #141
She's a nurse FIGHTING AGAINST masks and/or vaccines. That's not what good licensed health care Wingus Dingus Sep 2021 #35
I guess, but she is a Cigna healthcare worker actively promoting Bristlecone Sep 2021 #36
They can do that. AngryOldDem Sep 2021 #65
Of course they can. Moreover, they did. malthaussen Sep 2021 #70
One's employment is always contingent on their good public behavior PSPS Sep 2021 #76
So, why should the newspaper print the guy's employer? malthaussen Sep 2021 #83
