His actions negatively impacted the brand and as a result he should be terminated.
It happened 'around noon'. He could have been on lunch or paid 10 minute break.Fired for sure. Can't get angry and assault people on the street in uniform. Stealing company time at the least, this will show on the gap report.
The group did not have a permit from the Fire Department. Therefore, they were breaking the law.Maybe you should research free speech and the legality of burning the flag.
Maybe you (and oldfart) should stop assuming that you're the only one who knows anything.
OUCH
Creating Ground could be argued as negatively impacting the brand. Should the ones responsible be fired?His actions negatively impacted the brand and as a result he should be terminated.

I would think this would be the most likely.Memphis response will be based on public reaction. If he is praised on Twitter, Facebook, etc., he will be held up as the ideal employee. If there is a public backlash, he will quickly become an ex-employee and Frontline example for the rest of us.
Corporations don't want to be in that spotlight. They don't want to make a stand one way or another. The easy way for the company is to fire him and release a simple press statement.The author of the article said that, not the FedEx guy. People ought to remember more than a million men and women have died carrying that flag while fighting white supremacists in both the southern U.S. and in Europe. It may be protected free speech, but that one protester said they were protesting things that happened in the past. When are they going to look to the future? And protected speech means they can't be arrested, jailed, and prosecuted for it. It doesn't mean those that disagree with it have to allow you to do it. If FedEx doesn't stand up for their guy in a situation like this then they have absolutely no integrity left. I remember years ago a UPS driver used his truck to pin a guy against a wall who was shooting others. UPS fired him for improperly using his truck even though he was hailed as a hero who saved lives. That a corporation would put their self interests above doing the right thing is despicable.
Maybe he can be a mall cop next.It happened 'around noon'. He could have been on lunch or paid 10 minute break.

Even if you're on lunch you are still representing the brand while in uniform. I'm sure assault is frowned upon. He also discharged his fire extinguisher, which is supposed to be charged in his truck to be used in an emergency. He endangered himself and the public with his actions.It happened 'around noon'. He could have been on lunch or paid 10 minute break.

Jackal said the protesters didn't have a permit. Of course the courier couldn't have known that.Not much of a law to enforce here regarding flag burning, is there?
They didn't have a permit for burning in the city limits iirc.
I was once late on tax payments. The local sheriff didn't do a thing about it. Something about jurisdiction.
As a FedEx courier, a representative of the company, where does his law enforcement jurisdiction begin and end?
Did you see an arrest?Citizens arrest?

Nope, he's fired. Public opinion won't matter.Memphis response will be based on public reaction. If he is praised on Twitter, Facebook, etc., he will be held up as the ideal employee. If there is a public backlash, he will quickly become an ex-employee and Frontline example for the rest of us.
