There was a guy sneezing at work, and another guy said "Bless you".
Well, the guy saying "bless you" got fired. Why?
The guy sneezing was a Muslim. "Bless you" is a Christian saying. By saying "Bless you", the guy perceived it as being called a Christian, was offended, and reported it to HR. HR being conditioned to give in, they terminated the guy who said "Bless you". Had no other history of any violations ever, and a stellar employee.
This is how far we have come. . . .

Man, I am sorry to hear that happened.
What is happening in the industry, is that these discrimination or sexusl assualt cases are becoming more common and typically started by someone who will be terminated due to performance. When that person opens such a case, they can no longer be terminated, and the easy way out for the business is to terminate a good employee to show "resolution". It's a sad fact.
This is why you can't be friendly with anyone because there are nothing but snakes laying in the grass. MF will hang you out to dry.

Yea thats true but when the current potential employer ask if they can tell them something about his work ethic and the past employer states "I cannot comment on that" its not hard for the new potential employer to "read between the lines". Basically if a good recommendation is not given its the same as giving a bad one.
My father was a CEO for National car Rental and he would go thru this often when hiring and firing management and said when asked about a prior employee that he terminated he would just say "He doesn't work here anymore thats all I can say". He said the guy on theater line would usually just chuckle and say thanx Ill move on to someone else.

Trust me I tried. First off I was a contractor with the rental company for the last 14 of the 21 years I worked there. So I had to file with the EEOC on them and my claim was denied. Against the lady in civil court I had four lawyers turn me down. I finally gave up. A white man vs a black lady I'm not going to win.
I went through that crap a bunch of years ago. A minority person kept bugging me so I made a comment to shut him up. It was something like " I hate all minorities equally ". Said in a semi-joking manner. A month later I was called to the boss' office. A meeting was held and I was found guilty of racial harassment . I was never told that I was being charged nor was I invited to the meeting. Because it was my first offense, I was given a verbal warning and a note was placed in my records. If I was ever charged again I would be fired. I spent the next few years never even talking or looking at that guy.
