Came back to office today after two weeks off to collect mail.
Find on my desk gift certificate gave one of secretaries for Christmas with yellow sticky saying FxxK you:scratch:
This lady has worked for me for over ten years never had a problem with her. Few months ago while heading to gym, she told me she wants to get back into shape maybe join gym. She's 39 and could lose maybe 50 LBS.
So I purchased her six month gift certificate to chain gym located near her job and home.
Guess she took present wrong way:crazy:
Will be interesting to see what she has to tell me when I see her this week:wink:

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Classic guy dumb move. No matter how fat a woman says she is, never ever actually do anything or say anything to confirm it. I learned that really young.

 

[jeeps84]

The only way I would have done that is if they had actually said "I would love a gym membership"
I just hope you don't have a harassment suit waiting on you when you get back.

fire her ass.....

saying **** you to your boss should require a punch in the mouth and a cardboard box and a kick out the door....

esp. since i bet that 6 month membership was a couple hundred bucks!!!

:iagree:

[email protected] jet that old bat was a little harsh.

edit> she's only 39....that's really not that old. That was just harsh for her to give it back and say F**K You and return the gift.

 

[Trip]

firing her could land him in legal troubles, I don't know what to tell you except never give anything to a woman that has to do with her weight unless she specifically asks.

 

[Gas Man]

That sucks and is bad funny Jetski! :nonod: :lol:

Sounds like you have some explaining to do to her so she doesn't put a suit to ya!

 

[bumblebee]

You don't have any explaining to do or apologies to make...You gave her a GIFT you thought she might like, she didn't...End of it. She can't sue you for over a simple gift, regardless of what she thinks you are implying...unless you have a history of teasing or remarking about her weight...It's not like you gave her a box of toys from Rick's XXX Toy box and the key to a motel room...If you start making apologies and excuses, it will look like you have done something wrong. Don't speak of it, and don't make the same mistake again...never buy her a present again for anything.

 

[Pippi]

Wow, that is a really nice gift IMO, but sounds like she took it as you saying she was fat, and yea - women dont really like to hear that (even if they are!)
:luck:

 

[Gas Man]

I agree... its a very nice gift and very thoughtfull for Jetski to remember it well enough to do that. And I'm sure out there in YupVille where Jetski lives... it was a pricey gift too!

:withstupi Every thing there cost at least three times real value.:crazy:

but if she sues you, shut her down. I was having this conversation with my family the other day. But be careful, you live in Libbytown, so who knows who would win that lawsuit...:crazy: :luck:

 

[2FURYUS]

:lol: How funny...if it was truly an innocent gift, you need not defend yourself. Just tell her she made the comment about loosing weight and leave it at that.

 

[GixxerNHemi]

Yea..i really dont think this could be considered a harsh joke to his secretary whereas she could contact HR and make a complaint.....

reason being...

I dont know about your area....but here in NY a years membership runs between 400-800 depending on where you go. I usually pay around 550.

Sooo..that would mean to me that you probably laid down close to 200 bucks or more for her gift certificate.

I dont that classifies as a joke about her weight. A joke to tell her she is fat would be giving her one of those 1 day or week passes that dont cost anything.

Who would spend a couple hundred to make fun of someone??? she has no case if you fired her. I mean hell, i would love a gym membership esp if i was out of shape..some of the reasons people never get into shape is because they dont have the time or the extra 500 bucks laying around to get a membership. You got her one close to home and work and you laid out the $$

lady gives back a gift and says **** you......DISRESPECTFUL!!!!!!!!! so i stand by my last post.

 

[R1up0n1]

So did she show up for work today Jetski, and what happend?

[itgirl25]

as a woman, i think that was an incredibly poor choice of a gift. it would be the same as giving a bald man a hairpiece because he remarked about how he wishes he still had hair. no matter what intentions were behind it, it is only gonna remind her of her insecurities. it was an incredibly insensitive thing to do. whatever happened to just giving a christmas bonus? $$ is one size fit all, and is also a lot less insulting. perhaps this will teach jetski to put a little more thought into things in the future, regardless of how much $$ he is out. hey, maybe he can use it for himself now.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Thats all I have to say about that.

 

[twisty]

Firing and overweight women because she was given a gym membership and declined it in a very upset manner..... The ACLU would have a field day with this and Jetski would be owned......Someone doesn't understand ethics.

 

[bumblebee]

Sorry...Fat people do not have protection under EEOC...many companies are now requiring weight guidelines in order to qualify for health insurance, some companies are paying for health club memberships to give people a chance to qualify...It is like the companies refusing to keep smokers...Fat people and smokers are in the same lot now...no protection...
