LMFAO

Dave Ramsey's company fired 12 employees for premarital sex

I bet Dave Ramsey would be an AZZ of a boss to work for. This link is just more credence.

Certainly, just as I have the ability and right to decide if I want to work for them.

I agree. I wasnt criticizing your choice.

 

[jaybird_1981]

I am all for a business owner's right to put in any stipulations in place that they believe is in their best interest as the owner of said business.

Agreed I personally would never work for a company so intrusive in peoples personal lives, but he owns that business and that is the code of conduct that you agree to when working there.

Interesting. What is it that you find so funny?

 

[Tyler Durden]

Interesting. What is it that you find so funny?

I think it's funny that a supposed christian like Dave would deem it necessary to make a pregnant woman unemployed. Did he ask himself WWJD before he did it?

 

[Volgolfer1618]

I keep hearing Dave talk about how if you save $100 every month and the interest rate is at 12% and you do this for 40 years you can retire with over a million dollars. My question is this, wtf do you invest in that has a 12% interest rate?

Our financial advisor calculates our rate of return based on a 6% average return, so we invested accordingly

Yet you'd have no problems if someone was fired for publicity claiming that homo lifestyle is wrong.

OK. That is actually a fair point. Not really sure it's funny, but you do have a point. Of course Dave didn't violate the terms of employment either.

 

[Tyler Durden]

I'm sure he's figured out a way to delve into prospective and current employees' personal lives without violating laws, it would be interesting to know how he's getting around it. That being said I think most of us would prefer to keep personal lives and preferences out of a professional environment.

Are you sure?

He has a policy. She knew about it. What is the problem.

 

[Tyler Durden]

If it's not illegal to begin with it's on the cusp of it. It'll be interesting to see how the lawsuit goes.

Not interesting at all. His business. Courts need to stfu.

Again, his rules. She knew about it. Take some personal responsibility.

He has spent 30 years telling listeners to live life in this precise order for prosperity: graduate highschool, get married, have kids. It isn't insane that he would ask employees to live the same values he has built an entire empire preaching about.

Drink the kool-aid.....or else

 

[SamRebel35]

Drink the kool-aid.....or else

Or else what? Go seek voluntary employment somewhere else? Who tf cares?

 

[VolStrom]

It doesn't matter what any of you think. TN is a right to work state and the employer can fire these people for any reason they want to as long as it isn't for being a RACIST.

 

[allvol123]

Yea I've never understood the gripe of "I demand to work for this person that I find disgusting!"

 

[SamRebel35]

Drink the kool-aid.....or else

By the way, your analogy is all f*cked up. "Drink the kool-aid" is a reference to an action by a cult that leads to your immediate death. In this case it is more like "take your flinstone vitamins.... or else". Following the agreement that you were hired under will not kill you or even do you harm. It is more likely to help you than anything.

 

[jaybird_1981]

Yea I've never understood the gripe of "I demand to work for this person that I find disgusting!"

It is all about wanting everyone else to accommodate them.

Nominalized rate of return in the S&P 500 is right at 11% a year over the last 50 years. Since its inception its over 12%.

Well, yeah. I don't think my boss has any business in my personal life, but I work for a public company. But it is his company so if you don't want to abide by his rules.... and I would wager it was not something out of the blue either.

I'm about 2 weeks away from paying off my mortgage forever. Can't wait for that first night sleeping in a house I actually own.

Congratulations amigo. It feels good. Except on April 15th. You have more disposable income, but you don't get to itemize anymore. And Uncle Sam do take a bite.

You'll never own it because the .gov will forever and ever take their cut of your hide. It's actually quite sickening when you have to pay that annual "we own your ass" tax.
