Lawsuit based on lack of security?

[KA5PIU]

Hello.

Some woman who was hired for a telemarketers position with West was let go for whatever reason has decided to file a lawsuit.
Her complaint is that she was not provided with a security escort.
Normally when it is dark and a security officer is available one may walk a group of people to their car but is not expected to stay.
When the ladies arrive they are expected to fend for themselves as security has no idea as to where they may have parked and to find them would take too much time.
Anyhow, the lady was tardy several times and that along with other troubles caused her termination.
Her complaint is that she was afraid to leave her car until it was all clear, as other employees caused her concern.
She has also pointed out that one night she was escorted to her car and discovered her car would not start but security had already left leaving her "stranded".
When she finally "braved" to the building security had advised her that they could not help har with jumper cables and she had no one else to turn to.
This traumatic event caused her to have troubles.

Facts be known there was no incident at this place of employment while she was employed there.
She argues that she was raped a few years back and that this leaves her "sensitive" but not at this place or anywhere near the place.

Proof that filing a suit is easy. Winning it, well, that's a little tougher.

As far as her story goes, as presented here, I say: Male bovine excrement!

welp if she was a gun owner she wouldnt have to worry about the big bad bogey man

When I was first hired by the engineering firm, they had one person with an office in a different building in the office complex.

Supposedly she couldn't handle the environment of the main building. Allergies to this that & the other. I never did get the full story on that.

Last I heard of her was shortly after she had made some additional requests for, ah, special considerations. And then someone caught her in her office doing several things that were not work related. Now no one who knew for sure actually said anything (HR was concerned about lawsuits) but rumor had it that it involved her boyfriend... and another young lady. BTW, did I mention that she was married?

Most businesses forbid an employee from bringing firearms onto their premises. That includes carrying one in your car if you're parking on their property.

Recent decisions , and some newer state laws uphold an employees right to have a firearm in the car on company premises , in many circumstances .

It's not the solution to every scenario . Sounds like her suit is without foundation . Call centers all have strict policies about timely attendance . That ain't gonna change .

That's been tried, and IIRC the judgment favored the company.

I think the policy is BS but I can understand to a degree the company's position. Not every weapon owner (firearm or otherwise) is level headed and/or responsible. As much as we'd like to bring our black guns to work for show-and-tell, all it would take for a company to be sued out of existence is for an on-premises negligent discharge which resulted in a fatality. Yes, there are gun owners and handlers who are too friggin' stupid or careless to understand why "Weapon safed and pointed in a safe direction; finger OFF the trigger...drop magazine then clear and inspect chamber!" is the de rigeur firearm handling procedure.

Hello.

I worked at Zachery Construction Company and they have the no firearms policy.
I am 100% fine with that as long as it is enforced, no firearms on person or in company vehicles.
However come hunting season and all bets are off.
Not only firearms but alcohol, In Company Vehicles.
So now we have a bunch of drunk construction workers with firearms and operating heavy equipment.

Do they ever bring you tacos?

Do they ever bring you tacos?
Pink ones?

[NQ6U]

Pink ones?

Don't be absurd. They brought regular tacos--in pink Bell 47 helicopters with APUs.

Hello.

No, the rolling kitchen would bring that!
They did not want us going to local restaurants dressed as construction workers, bad image?
But that did not stop me from calling on the Nextel and asking for a TACO! ;)
