  • Good! I hope the next step is she gets kicked out of the state. They are ridiculous, pathetic, and giving Minnesotan's a bad rep!

    All I can say about them is YUCK!

  • What was Citypages calling a hoax? The original site or the firing? Because while I think she's dumb as rocks, I think the company telling it's employees they could face repercussion for being her friend are over the line.

     

  • not sure what the legal ground is when nobody knows where she works is that she is "damaging" the company's reputation?

    Or maybe all that leaked out.

    Either way what a set of doofy idiots for that entire website idea.  It's offensive to pro-choice, pro-life, everyone....

    And their abortion vote hoax undermines the real issue - that some people do need to terminate a pregnancy, and some people just want to terminate a pregnancy, and that no matter the reason, they have that right because it's LEGAL.

    City Pages was calling the poll/website about whether to have an abortion a hoax, not the firing.  That actually happened.

    I can see how it would reflect poorly on the company.  Hundreds of media outlets were reporting on the website.  It wouldn't take much to determine where she worked.

    oh, absolutely, she should lose her job, if nothing more because she's an idiot. (Though if she was in a union, she'd probably have been protected) but the telling people they can't be friends with her bugs me.
