News: Kodak Fires Employee Over 'Coming Out' Memo

As an accountant, I would advise everyone against the investment idea suggested above. Buying and selling in the short term is not recommended!

To redirect this thread to the Kodak firing, I just want to add that it is very upsetting that just a few days after Mr. Szabo's firing, Kodak publicly announced plans to cut 1,700 jobs. This means that internally, management knew about the plans weeks in advance!

Does this mean that non-minority, heterosexuals are the first to be let go in the new coprorate America?

How does the fact that they knew about potential lay-offs months in advance of the announcement relate to Mr. Szabo's firing? Are you suggesting that the firing of Mr. Szabo is an example of the kinds of lay-off they're planning to do, or perhaps a way to save the company some money (from firing him as opposed to laying him off)? I think that's a mighty stretch.

But I'll second your disapproval of the implied investment advice. Bad idea.

 

Well, well, well...so the thot plickens!

Good Detective Work, Webmaster.

Same old story - GREED! the underlying motive rears its ugly head once again!

The most discriminated population in the work force in America today are white males over the age of 50. Could this be the case once again?

(None of you under the age of 50 will agree, I already know this.)

Now can we add white males, over the age of 50, heterosexual? Hmmm.......

These are the kinds of discrimination cases that are nearly impossible to prove in a Liberal Court of Law, understandably so.

 

Boycotting american products...hmmmmmmmmmm-----....I believe that Pepsi is another company and also foreign oil companies, and the list goes on.....it comes down to freedom of choice, however.......some of these companies,like cigarette companies are also diverse in their products......it is getting so a consumer doesn't know what company to question about their "guidelines"......any other comments? smileyfish says hello----
I wish to extend to everyone a Happy Fantastic Fall.....enjoy the colors and scenery that are free for the looking!!!!!!

 

Webmaster, you are correct, I would certainly not do this with retirement money or "nest egg". But I do "play" with this one Coca Cola and a few others.

 

That's not what I meant. I meant to say that internally, Kodak's management knew about the upcoming layoffs. They were working on the list (which is not an easy task). So when Mr. Szabo responded, they said, there is one person we can get rid of (and yes, even without paying termination benefits).

So my point is that Christians face an added risk when layoffs come - real Christians, that is.

Here is another petition

http://www.conservativepetitions.com/petition.html?name=stop__kodak_firing

 

Joshua:
So, on a discussion board, you would prefer that we baptists who are deeply offened by the strong anti-gay rhetoric simply allow it to slip by? You would prefer that seekers not know that this is a controversial issue among Christians?

Gina: No, people do need to know that as disgusting as it is, people who call themselves Christians DO consider this an issue.
What is preferred is that people who are deeply offended by anti-sin people admit they are wrong and help teach the love of Christ that cleanses all sin, instead of the love of Christ despite all sin.
Gina

 

That was a well written petition, I just signed it

 

I signed it too.

No, I wouldn't given the fact that their petition doesn't even mention that WorldnetDaily broke this story.

Dear friends,

I was wondering if you would be willing to help conservativepetitions.com and run some kind of a quick article about thier petition asking kodak to reinstate Rolf Szabo. They've only got a a weak 11-12 thousand signatures on it so far. You guys could really make a difference. Thanks for your time and keep up the good work!

I find it very surprising that WND would not help the petition because they failed to advertise WND.

Besides, WND did not break the story.

Bob Lonsberry did.

Also, Rochester's WOKR TV had an article online on the 20th:

I thought that was a little funny too so I replied and this was the answer:

WorldNetDaily is not an activist site. We don't tell people what to do, we tell them what's going on in the world. It's not a conservative site either. Further, you know and I know where this outfit heard about this story. It wasn't from an obscure Rochester TV station that doesn't know the difference between "led" and lead." Yes, it's critical that WorldNetDaily be credited for its work -- if that work is to continue. It's a battle we fight every day. I really don't expect CNN and MSNBC to acknowledge our work -- since they are in competition with us for dominance in Internet news. But I certainly would expect organizations like this one to cite the only exhaustive story done on a national level about its cause. It's good manners. It's proper etiquette. It's the right thing to do.

Oh well. I thought all along that WND was a conservative site

It's interesting to note that 5 homosexuals were able to stop Dr. Laura's TV show with 20 million (conservative) listeners.

enough is enough already. We as Christians have GOT to get organized and launch a Jesus-lead offensive of our own against sin and the empires who promote sin...I'm tired of my saviours blood getting trampled on!

 

Onward Christian Soldiers...

There's a fine group of folks here in Wisconsin that can help us with guidance if we need any.
Their name is Wisconsin Christians United.

 

I'm sorry to sound negative here but it wouldn't work!

You would spend 90% of your time defending yourself from christians who accuse you of hate.

The rest of the christians when you ask for help, will not and run!

You would would spend the remaining time defending yourself from computer virus's, removing porn off your site and pretty much pulling your hair out.

But then when you ask for help you get, "well sorry but the company can do what ever it wishes to do, it's their right" or "This is just awful" but they wll run!

And worst you will become an outcast that nobody even talks to!

Trust me, speaking from experience.
