Nothing to do with me this time. I'm just starting a debate. The part where an employee who, for instance, asked a coworker to shoot her repeatedly could be construed as suicidal. People get concerned and uncomfortable and they coulda very well called the cops for this. Hell, a suicidal person is not only a danger to themselves, but also to others. If anyopne gets hurt, the company could be liable. Complete bullshit. I believe the most that employee should get is tested, not canned.
@dirrtydozen22,
How do you mean? If she said something like, "Okay, I put too much mustard on the burgers. So shoot me". Once in a great while, it could turn out to be unfortunate phrasing.

All employees should be canned.... Hell, who needs an excuse...
@dirrtydozen22,
Counseling anyone? How many workers have gone postal because they were fired? Doesn't matter what the situation is, if a person struggling they should be helped, not pushed over the edge.
Strange. At the theatre where I worked years ago, a young lesbian woman who was a volunteer tried to commit suicide in the ladies room and ended up with a new position that she was not qualified for, and earning a salary much larger than most. So there.
(of course there were all kinds of mitigating circumstances and lots of rumors about who she was sleeping with floating about.)
@eoe,
That IS extremely rare lol. But I think they only refer you to a psychiatrist at a higher paying job, not minimum wage. If you're making $7.25 an hour, then they could can you for yelling for a coworker to shoot you.
Stumble It!
