    Not letting people with you have a punchline and jump to conclusions. We barely know how his contract works and I worry about the very idea that people can be fired for sneezing in the wrong direction. Like, it genuinely pisses me off. That kind of treatment in Spain would end with a really big lump sum and media coverage in favor of the affected. This has less to do with Vic and more to do with Funi being just able to lay him off, no questions asked and owing him nothing in the event they get it all wrong.

    I know it's Texas and not Spain, but... still... it doesn't piss me off any less.

    Companies should bow to their former ex-employee if wrong.
    Says the person who's ignoring credible accounts and evidence from multiple accusers just to moan about how cruel and unjust it is that people decide to remove a toxic personality from their workplace because of said evidence.

    Bitching about the law is pointless when this isn't covered in the law and bringing up fringe cases and hypotheticals to try to defend Vic is essentially trolling. You're saying it's fine if people decide to be jerks to you and others at work and that they can keep their jobs even if they are hurting others.

    I am not defending Vic. You must be confusing me with the other guy who actually was.

    What I am talking about is essentially if a company can remove a person on their own volition without the state saying "hold on". Apparently, this is the case in Texas and I've acknowledged it as such (no clue because I didn't bother reading into your post, I just took it at face value and assumed your argument was truthful). THIS is what worries me because it means the law cannot protect people from extortion. I am not saying this case is so, but I would be worried if there wasn't at least some laws that forced the company to compensate you for removing you if an investigation says you've been removed unlawfully. I am not saying he should be allowed to continue, but in those scenarios, you furlough them. They stay home without pay until the investigation is done. If you're guilty, the furlough turns into a sacking. If not, you get compensation for all the time you weren't paid, just like US Govt workers during shutdown.

    Essentially, plenty of people having a legitimate complaint (or hell, one person with a legitimate and verifiable complaint) is a fair reason to get sacked if confirmed. Having a mob of people who hate you and can badmouth you off a company is hell for worker's rights. You have no clue how often I ended up working with people who wanted me off my workplace (apparently, showing favoritism to the best worker under you is a bad thing) and how they knew they had no recourse because making something up or saying X, Y and Z would've launched an investigation into the issue and if I was cleared, the company would have to compensate me for the time I would be laid off, not lay me off until the Tribunal sent their ruling and even take fire those who were guilty of conspiring against me.

    If you can point me to a similar set of protections existing in Texas, I'll shut up and say this can't happen. Hell, I wasn't even into the Vic issue when I learned about it. I simply felt the ability to fire someone on request with no actual court verdict (thus, "people's justice" or what I'd call "mob rule" is the one who judges people) is something I would be wary off and that I hope it's not as simply as telling someone to pack up their stuff without a professional's input.

    Take it from someone who's been in that actual position (thus it's personal) where, had I been in Texas, I would've lost that job. People's words are NOT reliable unless they can be corroborated by professionals or authorities.



    I think I'm gonna be sick. No wonder you guys consider a centrist European a communist!

    I just wrapped it up (hopefully).

    I'm still horrorized by the fact so many US states have no implied contract exception... in other words, it's 100% their call unless you can claim the employer was forcing you to do something illegal or happen to be member of a "protected group".

    Firstly, you seem to think I'm American when I'm Indian and studying abroad in Malaysia. So American labor codes don't mean a lot to me, especially when I have zero experience with them.

    Secondly, Funimation did do an investigation when the allegations arose before firing Vic, it's even stated in their tweet about Vic. This isn't random people complaining and gettimg their way, some of the stuff was looked at and Funi ended up deciding it wasn't worth keeping him. Witness accounts and photos are evidence enough for them as they aren't the law or justice. They don't need trials and courts to decide for them whether to keep someone or not.

    Which has zero relation to the derail about potential worker abuse and lack of such protection. Unless you have some reports or such that this is a big problem in Texas or similar places, it's essentially pointless.

    Mind you, (I believe) most everyone has potential. For most people it ends just being potential, too.

    Yeah that was weird as fuck.

    Here's more news about old Vic: https://io9.gizmodo.com/one-of-anime...ssm-1832390505
    He never sleeps. He never dies.

    Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.
