Bye Bye Jeremy!


I was on the bus and everyone keeps saying the “poor driver” and completely ignore the fact that the driver was driving like he was high. He was missing exits, stopping in the middle of the highway, driving thru red lights. Two people including Jrsp went up to talk to him to see if he was ok out of concern for all the people on bus. Yeah maybe he shouldn’t have gotten loud, but c’mon people

hahaha! Bless your heart this take is quite funny. This fantasy story would have been more believable if you said he later went on to kick a few stray cats and beat up a homeless dude before getting back to the hotel. It is what it is. He behaved so poorly that there was no excuse but to fire him. This means the company likely felt that the risk of litigation against the company was greater than the risk of litigation in letting him go. Let that sink in because it is quite simple. HR’s job is to protect the company, NOT the individual and if the individuals actions and/or poor judgment places the company at risk, then bye bye employee. That is what happened here.

can you imagine how he would behave if a Starbucks barrister spelled his name incorrectly on his venti latte cup or gave him real milk instead of soy? He’s learning a lesson about how to treat people that most of us learned in pre-school.

I challenge you to have a conversation with anyone who has worked for him to see how they were treated. Come back and share what they had to say about him…but no…you won’t do that..

Risk of litigation? For what?

Ok, then what exactly happened this night? Rumor has it (from more than once source) that it was a terribly aggressive and disturbing event that seriously upset literally everyone on the bus. Maybe JRSP only respects white collar workers (i.e. his team, if he's so good to his people) or maybe he blacked out and was possessed by a spirit and he isn't even accountable? I mean, it's tough to explain this. I've been intoxicated hundreds of times but would never do something like what I heard about. Apparently, the company agreed and was concerned about being sued, thus the quick dismissal.
 
Risk of litigation? For what?

For verbally assaulting someone. Or, even if it isn't litigation-worthy, it's terribly bad press if the bus driver were to go public with this or if someone had their phone on video and captured it. There is a definite reason the company moved within days to get him gone. Or maybe the company doesn't want people working for them who act like that and spit venom at working class individuals for no reason. I certainly wouldn't if I owned a company. Unfortunately for him, this will get around the industry. I wish him well, but he should really address how that stuff came out of his mouth and probably issue an apology somehow - maybe contact the bus company.

That's a really good point actually about the apology. Not sure how he could get that out there, but he should somehow let people know that "he was intoxicated and made a terrible error in judgement and holds himself accountable for his actions. It's not who he is or what he stands for."

Why do his defenders keep saying things like this. This event by all accounts was awful and shocking. What does verbally abusing a bus driver to the point that your company feels it has to fire you immediately have to do with your management style?

We all know the answer but please hold on for a little while longer so either Jeremy or his girlfriend can respond to you.
 
I’m really confused.he verbally assaulted a bus driver? That’s what happened? Fuck! I thought the bullshit was limited to HR. Who gives a shit?

Well... I'm sure the bus driver cares quite a bit, most likely the bus driver's company cares, apparently everyone on the bus that night cares, NN obviously cares enough to shitcan JRSP, probably most objective people who heard how JRSP talked to an innocent blue-collar worker just trying to make a buck care. I guess almost everyone cares. That answer your question idiot?

Save the moral outrage. You call someone an idiot and that’s ok? Ok. Let’s follow your attitude then. Not everyone with an elevated bmi is living with obesity and saying retarded isn’t the new n word. People need to relax but I guess that courtesy only exists if you’re not a white dude.

It was a work event. He was there with colleagues and direct reports. Bad form? Sure. Fired? Stupidity writ large.

Ummm…. What now? I didn’t understand a word of your far right gibberish. I’m guessing grammar isn’t one of the Proud Boy teachings.

This can’t be only reason.. I remember once at national meeting many years ago when MSQZ wasn’t senior leadership. A server made mistake at hotel during a breakfast and he made comment after she left table like “ Mammy can’t even pour coffee “ No one at table said a word apparently at table or latter on to HR

I actually heard the Danes refer to a garbage collector saying, "Oh look....Eddie Williams is here." Of course, that was before we went crazy for Barack. That was the beginning of the end for the NNI that I signed on with.

aside from those on the bus we are all speculating as to what happened. If we don’t know exactly what happened we can’t possible make an accurate assessment.

anyone who has a firm opinion (good or bad) on how the situation should be handled is speaking from their own bias and world view. If you don’t know what happened your opinion is worthless. If this makes you angry you are part of the problem.

I'm not ignorant enough to believe that this incident was the sole reason for the termination. From when I started here until recently, far nastier stuff has been said about people of same, uhm..."background", shall we say, as the person that he disrespected.
