Usually they aren't dumb enough to tweet it and handle their union busting more tactfully

He could do it if he wasn't dumb enough to openly tweet out that he's going to retaliate. Now, he's more or less hosed himself unless there's some other concrete reason to let a particular person go.

2019 MLB Announcer Crew Rankings I think Kalas is just ... blah as hell. Blummer is fun and Julia is great (though I guess they don't count anyone not in the booth?), but Kalas just bores me to death. Wish they included the radio crews as well, Steve Sparks and Robert Ford have grown on me.

No Safe Word posted:2019 MLB Announcer Crew Rankings Kind of surprised people seem down on the Rangers; I find Dave Raymond and CJ Nitkowski pleasant enough. Tom Grieve has really benefited from the reduced number of games; he seems a lot more engaged doing 40 or 50 a year than he did when he was doing 140.

Dexo posted:No it's literally illegal however depending on where barstool is based he can pretty much fire them for any reason whatsoever yay "right to work" It’s a bit weirder than that. Basically in an at will state (different from “right to work” which is newspeak for “no union shops”) you can be fired for NO reason, not for ANY reason. You still can’t be fired (legally) for ie organizing, being black, etc

Even if his employees love working there. The owner or manager of a company should eat all of the loving poo poo for publicly union busting, even if no one there was thinking about it. If only as a loving example to others that it should not be and will not be tolerated. Snitching does not loving apply to companies attacking labor rights. So miss me with this loving bullshit.

That’s like the worst response possible. That’s a “well every firing for the next year will go to court” level bad response. That’s a “the state AG sat up in their chair” level bad response. That’s a “fire this idiot as damage control” level bad response.

The biggest weakness that Barstool has is always never shutting the gently caress up and always trying to be the big posturing tough guy. It will come back to bite them here, FOR LITERALLY NO REASON AT ALL, BECAUSE IT ALL STARTED ENTIRELY BY PORTNOY WHINING ABOUT GAWKER'S UNION. https://twitter.com/Samer/status/1161269633204273153

Proving you were fired because of union stuff is usually pretty hard, but when Portnoy is tweeting about he will fire people for union stuff, well...

I didn't know if he still held actual sway there. iospace posted:Doesn't change the fact that that well is poisoned now. I still honestly doubt this is going anywhere. it seems like peak portnoy bullshit tweaking of people online because this is what he does all the time. if it actually blows him up, great, but he's pulled this poo poo plenty other times and it never goes anywhere of actual consequence. E: hell, how many times have people thought the Barstool PR Stunt Of The Week was totally the one that was going to do them in?

When Portnoy sold he shacked up with a young Instagram model right away. She proceeded to cheat on him with her SoulCycle instructor and caused him to have a public meltdown on Twitter threatening to destroy the company. So much so that SoulCycle had to send out a release to their employees to call 911 if he or his employees were seen on the premises.

Are we sure Portnoy isn’t someone that Bill Simmons invented in order to make himself look like The Thoughtful Boston Fan/website owner?
