eagles fans need to back this guy

by SE7ENS on Mar 10, 2009 9:02 AM EDT

and by this guy i mean one dan leone. an employee of the team who, upset that the eagles let dawkins go to another team, posts his displeasure on his facebook page and a couple of days later he gets fired...by phone. come on eagles fans - you guys need to be raging pissed by this. i'm sure the eagles look at it as an employee criticizing his employer in a public forum and they have a point but, come on...no warning? after six years of service? himself, a loyal fan? by phone???!!!

Same thing….don’t repost the same topic!

my bad...didn't see them

that said, settle down there cowboy….is it really a personal affront to you that there is more than one post on the same topic?

When there’s 5 different discussions on one topic that drown out any other conversations, yes, it is annoying.

This happens all the time here. People getting so excited thinking they have “breaking news!” and just post away. Take a second and read before just posting on any thing thinking you’re the first to hear it!!

I don't back him ...

don’t talk shit on your employer if you can’t handle the punishment, if you think it’s fair or not.

agreed

you cant talk shit about any employer without getting shit back for it… it sucks but thats life.

yup and put yourself in the employer’s shoes… if some employee was talking smack on you to the whole world (and face it, that’s what the internet is), you’d can him in a heartbeat

Dont bite the hand that feeds you

To me the Eagles are like that girlfriend that pisses u off, then u hate her, but the next morning you wake up and remember that thing u love so much about her

I second that

He is still slandering his company on the internet, just because its the eagles doesnt mean he should still be allowed to talk bad of his employer

Jason -

I’d call or email John Gonzalez at 215-854-2813 or gonzalez@phillynews.com. He wrote the article everyone is referencing… I’m sure he’d be willing to call this guy and see if he would be interested in speaking with us

Fuck that guy. Insult your employer on a mega-public stage and expect not to get fired? I would’ve fired him for spelling it “retarted” (Hint: That’s not the right spelling!)

and I know people are going to say “It’s just facebook!” or “You shouldn’t have to watch what you say and do everywhere!”

It’s not watching what you say and do! It’s called not being a fucking idiot. Of course, people have always been able to get drunk off their asses and talk shit about their bosses, and they still can! DON’T PUT IT ON THE INTERNET, MORONS.
