My secretary just told me she's gay. Can a fire her legally?
Find answers to your legal question.





My secretary just told me she's gay. Can a fire her legally?

The only reason I hired her was because of her looks. Now I find out that there is no way she's going to "earn" her keep. Heck, she can't spell, use a computer, or even make coffee.

I really was looking forward to the next trade show.

very funny....... cannot believe you actually got serious answers to this! I get the 10 points because I realize you're making this up. Give it to me, you male chauvinist! LOL

I'm in the market for a new job with lots of perks. I could be her assistant, show her what to do, and the three of us could really put on a show, maybe even trade spots once in a while. Don't fire her. Hire me, and we'll both fire you up. Your satisfaction will be our pleasure.

P.S. Raul is more than welcome to join the show.

Maybe she took one look at you and decided to turn gay.. well anyway.. on a lighter note, that'll be discrimination.. and now that you posted something like this online for everyone to see, her lawyers are bound to find it and use it against you! ha, way to go loser. Next time, try to rid yourself of loose ends.. ;O)

If she can't do her job, why keep her ? I'm sure Monica had to pass her performance valuation , otherwise Clinton would had fired her also .

It's still legal in 33 states.

Actually, in most states you can indeed fire her for that reason with no penalty. I suggest you do some research within your state.

Ask to watch. That's the next best thing.

Nope, you cannot. You will be breaking the civil rights amendment if you.

No it's called discrimination. But you could fire her if she stinks at her job.

If she can't do her job, then you can fire her with cause. But, you can't fire her for being gay.


thequeenreigns
That is called discrimination and you can lose your shirt ( I.e. loads of money) over that. If the person does their "job" then you won't have a leg to stand on for firing her because she won't "put out " to your sorry behind


Wolfie
hmmmm... tough one that,
Have you not thought of hiring another pretty gay secretary to give her some 'help' in the office?

Just a thought.....

Is this a joke? There are so many things wrong with that statement, I don't even know where to start.

You can't fire her legally, you can't make her earn anything with good looks, and I don't even want to know what you mean by "trade show."
