Men’s clumsy romantic behavior could get them fired. Was this inappropriate? Yes. Did he deserve to lose his job? No. Also, read the comments.

In this case, he did deserve to be fired. It's not okay to message customers to flirt, male or female, and it reflects badly on the company if employees are using the workplace to do it. There's a time and a place, and this was not it.

Quite honestly he should have kept those thoughts to himself and managed his erection on his own time. He should have known that almost any interaction with a woman is a no-win situation and the only way to win is not to play the game. Apparently now he does, at least until the next time.

Woman: does nothing
Man: you look pretty
Woman: remembers if man is rich or poor
Man is poor: FUCKING CREEP, GET FIRED (gets cheered on by the coven)
Man is rich: Oooh, flirting! Nice. (gets cheered on by the coven)
Rich man realizes his mistake and leaves
Woman: FUCKING CREEP, GET FIRED (gets cheered on by the coven)

Men: Notices woman

Woman: HOW FUCKING DARE YOU

Gotta say, his behavior was definitely inappropriate. We also don't know if he violated the company policy on behavior, or if he had already been given a warning for this same behavior.

I'm not sure how his "rights" were violated here. He did something very stupid, something he most likely knew he shouldn't do, and he is now dealing with the consequences.

I’m OP. I see it this way:

Mother of three kids, likely single (because she doesn’t say, and if she was married, she would have said so), is hit on by unattractive low income man (we know these things because she considers him a creep). With three kids, she needs to realize her very low marketplace value. Instead, she pretends to herself and others that her value is still high.

Man sends WhatsApp message to her AFTER business transaction. Clumsy? A little. “Dangerous”? (As one commenter states). Hardly. A firing offense? Please 🤦‍♂️. One also wonders how he got her WhatsApp. Did she give it to him? Or did she use it to book the tour somehow? It matters, and she fails to mention.

Strong empowered woman responds with a polite “no thank you, I’m not interested”, even a gentle lie “ I have a boyfriend/husband”. Wups! No, she didn’t! She went full Karen on his manager/business, and got him fired from his job! Will he eat tonight? Will he sleep on the streets? Does she even care? Or does she take to Reddit for validation?

So instead of feeling flattered, she sees an opportunity to cry to the kindergarten teacher and use authority to punish a boy severely for the horrible infraction of finding her attractive and saying so.

Consequences of her actions? This man and others become MGTOW, or sadly, woman haters. But can you blame them?

Good women need to call bad women out on their behavior.

Easy fix, any time a woman looks at you or has any interaction with you at work report her to HR. Since EVERYTHING is harassment treat these interactions as such. Remember actions have consequences.

Someone wrote in the thread:

I raised my kids with the maxim that "You can do anything you want as long as you're willing to pay the consequences.

Result: upvotes and pats on the back

I replied that if you kill someone, it's the victim who pays for the consequences of your action.

Result: downvote and silence

Is it so hard to admit you've done something wrong and stupid? How can you teach a child such BS and think it's proper education?

He absolutely deserved to lose his job. This is not a woman thing, this is a customer relationship thing. If I give an employee my personal information because I have to for our transaction and he stalks me with it later? Doesn't have to be romantic, he could just wish he'd complimented me on my shirt man to man and he still shouldn't be calling me. If he took and misused my private info; Absolutely fire him.

My sincerest apologies Madam, I thought you had signed up for the Shirley Valentine special.

This literally the worst iteration of cancel culture. I work in hospitality management and I agree he should get written up or a talking to about his verbiage w/ woman clients. But it's also a completely different culture than where I am in the US, so I don't know the social norms around man-woman interactions.

Tilt_Flock · 2023-02-23T22:38:44+00:00

Judging by the comments, and not by the content of the link (the original post was deleted) it is impossible to truly judge this individual. I believe that he should've chosen his words better, if they indeed insulted the woman enough to get her to snitch on him.
