Fire fighter.....

Saturday morning football
You'll love or not love our 13 14 year old girls screaming MAN on......

The more the left try to pull us into their world the more we kick back.

 

[blup]

Or workplace banter.

One of the defences, or it was a joke. Who knows what happened to the perpetrator. Welcome to the 1970s

 

[morqthana]

I don’t agree with sacking somebody for using the word fireman,

Nobody was

 

[morqthana]

He wasn’t sacked for that, you’ve fallen for the spin

He wasn't sacked at all

 

[noseall]

Yes but most people still say fireman,

Not when you speak to those that work in the fire service.

 

[Koolpc]

His case went up in flames!

 

[noseall]

Don't say fireman for god sake....

No one does, in house. The term hasn't been used for decades. Letters, emails, chatter, correspondence etc, the term simply is not used amongst colleagues. You would have to consciously make an effort to use the term now, hence 'read the whole story'. Have you read the whole story?

Hey Nosey, you'd be in trouble if you worked for Essex County Council. About 8 years ago, mrs motties sister worked for them. A bloke in her office received a written warning for saying "Boyo" to a Welsh colleague. It wasn’t even the Welsh bloke that complained, he had no problem with it and said so but that counted for nothing!

Of course ive read it, my take is that hes a very good firefighter but a rubbish supervisor, he should have been demoted, I blame the people in offices above him.

I saw him as a great supervisor as he was ignoring the ridiculous complaint in the first place. Should someone who is so offended by the term fireman be working amongst a group of blokes who are firemen, terminology is not something that would offend me so much as to make complaints over it, she left the fire service after this and claimed a substantial amount in damages. This man was more upset than her.

She didn't like the job, as much as she thought she might, and looked for a remunerative way out.

Good point, I suppose it would be like a male nurse being offended at being called a nurse?

 

[carmanmemoranda]

There's some very prejudiced people amongst us

There's some very prejudiced people amongst us

..and some deliberately delicate, easily offended, personalities. Easy money, for little effort!

Exactly. If she didn't like the term fireman then maybe look elsewhere for a job. I doubt that firefighters or firemen are such delicate flowers that they say this common term with any malice or intent.
