Yes No View Results 32 y/o former Home Depot employee, Dillon Reagan was FIRED because he tried to stop a CHILD ABDUCTION in Portland, Oregon which violated the company's safety policy!! He found himself unemployed in late June over the incident as he was nearing the end of his shift at t he tool rental centre when a co-worker alerted him to a disturbance in the parking lot. he and another employee found a woman outside of the store who was crying and screaming that a man assaulted her and reached into the backseat of her car and grabbed her child. The 2 employees called 911 and the dispatcher instructed them NOT to approach the suspect but to follow him until police arrived..police arrived in a few minutes and the child was returned to the mother. Dillon and a co-worker gave statements and returned to work 10 minutes later His supervisor yelled at him stating he should have gone back to work at once and after multiple meetings with his manager, he was terminated after 4 years of being a sales associate. The May 12th incident was his SECOND STRIKE while the first time he was caught using foul language during an argument with a co-worker. But he said he does not regret stepping in to protect a child and said "it was still the right thing to do. I was kind of in a catch-22 situation: i'm damned if i do, damned if i don't" Police later concluded that it was NOT a kidnapping but a domestic dispute and no crime was committed Dillon shared a letter 10 days later from his firing approving his unemployment benefits as they said what he did was not a willful or wantonly negligent violation of the standers of behaviour an employer as the right to expect an employee Home Depot issued a statement and offered to re-instate him and said "We took a second look at this and have let Mr Reagan known that we've decided to reverse our decision based on our circumstances. We always do our dillegence to make sure associates are treated fairly, which we've done in this case" But Dillon said NO nor will he shop there again and wrote "F* YOU, HOME DEPOT". He said they should be doing the right thing regardless of company policy and regardless of consequence.

streamofthesky 07/08/17 2:30:29 AM #11:	That "first offense" sounds like bull shit, too. Dude probably just had horrible managers. Whether I agree with what he did or not, it doesn't seem like something worth being considered a "strike" against him. Plus, when you call them "strikes", you pretty much set the expectation that it takes 3 to terminate you. TyVulpine posted... The woman was screaming that the guy was kidnapping her child, what would you do? Nothing? What if it was a real kidnapping and police later find the kid's body dumped in the woods somewhere? Probably nothing, yeah. Unfortunately, as in this case, too many women will use the societal bias that sees them as more sympathetic than men and more likely to be a victim to distort the facts and cry wolf to get negative attention thrust upon a man the woman is feuding with or doesn't like. They ruin it for the actual victims, but I'd feel pretty bad harassing an innocent man because I just assumed the crying female is being honest. And society has also repeatedly demonstrated that it will punish good deeds. Take this case or any other case where an employee tries to physically stop a shoplifter and is fired for it. I read a week or two ago about some poor guy who found a little girl all alone at a park and went around with her asking people if she was their kid. The dad who was off playing baseball while she was unattended heard about it and assaulted the guy and had his friends/relatives put up his picture and info on the internet and labeled him a pedo, leading to the guy getting death threats and having to leave town. So yeah, fuck it. Just don't help (especially anything involving kids if you're an adult male...just stay the hell away and don't get involved). <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:882533313] in This 32 y/...

cgreenw 07/08/17 9:05:02 AM #17:	Something like this happened at my local park. A woman was spit on and harassed by a group of people and then someone reached in the car and took her kid. I called the police and asked the woman if she was okay and if the kid was supposed to go with the people who took him. She said she was assaulted, but that the person who took him was the kid's father. So I immediately went back about my business. No sense in getting involved in other people's messy family issues. Don't lose your job over that. And the lady who cried about the kid being taken should have made it clear to the people who stepped in to help what exactly was going on. --- http://i.imgur.com/nKQZwxN.png 3DS FC:0447-5939-4469 (Chris/CGMastermind) <cite>cgreenw posted [p:882540920] in This 32 y/...

Unfortunately, as in this case, too many women will use the societal bias that sees them as more sympathetic than men and more likely to be a victim to distort the facts and cry wolf to get negative attention thrust upon a man the woman is feuding with or doesn't like. They ruin it for the actual victims, but I'd feel pretty bad harassing an innocent man because I just assumed the crying female is being honest. The thing is, the police will sort that out. It's not like he chased down the car himself and wrested the child from the guy's hands, or anything else that would have put him or an innocent person in actual danger. The police have the tools and the training to resolve the situation safely and without further incident, whether the situation is as it first appears or not, so involving them is definitely the right course of action. streamofthesky posted... Take this case or any other case where an employee tries to physically stop a shoplifter and is fired for it. That's largely a liability thing. If the store doesn't have a "don't be a hero" sort of clause in their employment contract, they are legally responsible for any injury their employees sustain trying to stop criminals. As much as that seems like it's punishing people for trying to do something good, nothing a shoplifter can steal is worth the employee endangering themselves like that, so it really is better to not physically intervene. streamofthesky posted... I read a week or two ago about some poor guy who found a little girl all alone at a park and went around with her asking people if she was their kid. The dad who was off playing baseball while she was unattended heard about it and assaulted the guy and had his friends/relatives put up his picture and info on the internet and labeled him a pedo, leading to the guy getting death threats and having to leave town. In which case he should really be pursuing assault and defamation charges. He would likely have been better off reporting the unattended minor to the police than spending more than a few minutes trying to find her parents in the immediate vicinity, but he should still have a pretty solid case against his attackers. A "kidnapper" isn't going to wait around for the police to show up. --- Fall down, go boom... Life is like a box of chocolates.
