If you are so fortunate as to exceed the median life expectancy, it is time for you to step aside and leave the important decisions to those who still have a future.
Oh. He’s out of line. This should be a “come into my office on Monday so we can discuss the thing I saw on the internet and your future at this company” conversation that will haunt him over and over.
“come into my office on Monday so we can discuss the thing I saw on the internet and your future at this company”
LOL. And then the employee reacts how, exactly? “Oh noes, I hope you don’t fire me, I’d hate working for more money at a company not run by someone so oversensitive”
I’m not arguing that you shouldn’t speak I’ll of the dead or any of that nonsense, hell I was talking shit about her on the day the announced her death, you’re welcome to check my comment history. But there’s a difference between that and protesting at their funeral.
Shes got family and friends who are grieving - and while she may have been a terrible person (and certainly was, in my view) her family isn’t necessarily, and they deserve their time to grieve as much as any of the rest of us.
I’m not advocating for rewriting her history, either the shitty things she did in her career or the “weekend at Feinstein’s” shit that had been going on for the last decade, but a funeral just isn’t the time and the place to point out what a shitty person she was. A funeral isn’t for the dead, it’s for the living who are mourning them - and they don’t necessarily deserve to be punished for her actions.
She is a politician. Sorry, but grieve in private then, she chose for her death to be a political act and so made her funeral a part of those politics.
TL;DR - right now is a perfectly valid time, the day she died was also a perfectly valid time. Actually disrupting her funeral to have the discussion however isn’t. Not because it’s disrespectful to Feinstein, fuck her. But because it’s disrespectful to the people who are - for their own reasons - mourning her.
I’m not advocating that we pretend she was a noble person or a great politician. If you wanna have a long convo right now about all her many many many faults, I’m all for it, but I don’t think it’s right to torment her family for Feinsteins moral crimes.
He’s out of line, but he’s not wrong.
He said what a lot of us are thinking.
Then say it somewhere where her family is not. Tacky AF.
She fucked up countless families. I have no sympathy for hers.
Then bring it up at somewhere other than her funeral. You are a fucking asshole.
Fuck that. The lesson isn’t being learned.

You’re an idiot and not worth listening to then
Huh. Well, I hadn’t considered a political career, but since you think I’m qualified…

Funny, thats what everyone else was saying about you just now
Hilarious. You should write stand up.
Her family is in the parking lot?
You must be part of Westborough pedo church
Is he even out of line?
Oh. He’s out of line. This should be a “come into my office on Monday so we can discuss the thing I saw on the internet and your future at this company” conversation that will haunt him over and over.
Thats when you call your boss a nosy cunt and ask em why they care.
LOL. And then the employee reacts how, exactly? “Oh noes, I hope you don’t fire me, I’d hate working for more money at a company not run by someone so oversensitive”
More like “oh no, I hope you do fire me for my right to protest, thats a very easy lawsuit”
I think they were stating the level of out of line, not the actual consequence.
Yeah, fuck the right to protest!
Haunt? Only in your egotistical dreams, bud. You’d be doing the guy a favor not working for you.
Yeah, definetely not the time - but he’s right
Eh, why not?

Thats not this guys fault. That was her decision.
When is the time? Long enough after the next time this happens for it to be respectful and for everyone to have forgotten already?
Nah. We’re talking. Kid done good.

He’s not out of line. Many of these politician people don’t respect us in life so we absolutely don’t ever have to respect them in death.
Protesting funerals is specifically legal, shitty but legal. I’m personally fine with it as long as they’re not actively heckling funeral goers.
