Soooo.... I made WWG1WGA shirts and today my boss complained about me wearing it. She told me she was offended by it. Side note: I work for a VERY liberal company. I get that she probably has a niave understanding of what this means to us Patriots verses what MSM is telling people that it stands for.
What would you do, Pedes?
Maybe point out that JFK Jr.s boat had that quote engraved on the Bell...at least I think I have that right...then play here that comedic bit about being offended...it is pretty funny
Not a bad thought
Send emails to every PR person in your company, copy legal and safety, claim you are terrified she will harm you, you have been threatened and are scared for your mortal life. Ask for protections from her, file suit for the mental breakdown she caused, obvious to us in here that you're completely broken by this.
Force them to pay for the costs of your replacement spine.

Don't forget to mention she has made it into a hostile work environment for you because you feel threatened.
That escalated quickly.
I feel the need to add that she was respectful about it and didn't say "You can't wear it." She just told me that some may be offended (including herself) which I understand because of what people are being told.
Buy her a box of tissues for her liberal tears
Bring her a straight jacket because liberalism is a mental disorder
Wear the shirt every day for the rest of eternity to make a point
Tell her you don't care if she's offended. The world doesn't revolve around her
I am not here to offend. I believe America is THE LAND OF THE FREE and I do believe people are entitled to their opinions regardless of if I like it or not. That is not my place to judge (lest ye be judged).
Those were joke suggestions.... lol
And yes she has a right to tell you your shirt offends her, but you equally have a right to wear the said offensive shirt, and she can get over it lol
My fear is that she will abuse her authority and tell you that you can't wear the shirt because she finds it offensive.
It's also a movie quote from White Squall. How is a movie quote offensive?
I think people are not offended by the words themselves but by the meaning they are TOLD (read: "conditioned") it means even when it is quite the opposite.
Oh I agree. Hopefully, you can gently open her mind a little and help her to realize she's being ridiculous :)
THAT is the advice I am looking for! What links do we have that show WWG1WGA is a PATRIOTIC movement - regardless of what the extremists and tv tell people it means?
Look... you don't owe anything to anyone if they get offended. Liberals like to push this idea that if you are the one creating the offence it's your problem. Really it's your bosses' problem for being offended. I personally would say that I heard what she said but I would take no action, so I would keep wearing the shirt.
I have an unpopular opinion I don't like the show Family Guy, if someone does and wants to talk about it or wear Family Guy swag I may say one time "I don't like the show" but I don't press the issue more than once. Its not my business to convince a fan the show is no good. It could be that she is the same and won't mention it again but if she did I would use an example like my show preference and see if she can understand that it's not nice to push one's personal taste on others. If she can't see that for now don't worry I think it's coming, the left is about to see how much people hate hypocrites.
I don't think changing jobs or acquiescing to offenses is helping anyone. These people just get weaker and louder every time we give them something.
I genuinely love this response. Thank you.
Or wear my shirt and stay off camera in meetings, right? Simple enough and that was my plan. I still hold my stance and let people go on feeling their feelings.
It's your right to offend people
I don't want to sound like a bigot, but I had to sit through meeting after meeting about BLM and how awful the police are coming from a military family and a LEO background myself and I was not allowed to be offended. BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO THEIR OPINION.
Make a homemade BLM/Antifa shirt ( so to not actually support any organization that sells these shirts) and wear to work one day underneath your WWG1WGA shirt. When she complains, remove your Q shirt in front of her revealing the communist one. See what her reaction is and prove her hypocrisy.
I can't recall FOR CERTAIN, but I feel like my coworkers HAVE worn BLM shirts. I know they have loudly voiced their support. Which is great! More power to them! Welcome to America.
It means where we go one we go all which is inclusive of everyone. Tell her if she is against people being inclusive then she is a communist.
I agree with this. Wholeheartedly. I, personally, feel that it is a movement for ALL. Not even just Americans. It's about Patriotism. And Constitutional rights. And fighting for what is right, but that is not what M$M is telling people. How do you combat that?
Get a new job. How can you work somewhere where you'll be shunned for expressing yourself?
If it were only that simple.
How do we combat the fact that MSM is calling the movement racist and anti-semitic when that is 100% not what We The People stand for?
It IS that simple. It's just difficult for you to bear.
I still have a responsibility to my family to make sure the bills are paid.
MSM is also painting George Floyd and Jacob Blake as heroes so....
Trust me, I know.
Do you all remember when 9/11 happened (aside from the theories of it being an inside job) and people were just AMERICANS? That's what I miss. Communities being communities and helping one another. Not this massive divide in the population because of the bullshit agenda that is being force-fed to the masses.
For some of us, that's a lot easier said than done
We’re it EVERY DAY!
If you like the job and want to keep it; does this "boss” oun the company? If yes and you like the job, respect that person's authority. Then wait for your moment to strike back (respectfully point out their hypocrisy). If No, then and you don't like your job, Then ware away and brace for impact.
You all are going to SLAUGHTER me for this, but I am a little guy(gal) in Big Tech - no one of importance... but I do love my job. That's the hard part. Why was it okay for the Leftists to be boisterous about their beliefs but I am offensive for being Patriotic?
Your priorities are you priorities. However, the fight may come to you sooner or later. You need to resolve what course of action you are going to take when it comes. My wife and I have discussed the real possibility that I may be out of a job soon if things continue the was they seem to be going...
It's not a good feeling. I don't take it personally because it's just lack of knowledge on the subject, but I agree.
tell her to grow a pear.... and a pair....
Turn it back on her .... "I thought Biden called for Unity?" WWG1WGA is Unity
I don't want to argue, I just want to enlighten her on the real meaning behind WWG1WGA. I want people to know that we aren't racists or radicals. We are trying to bring everyone together.
Have you tried making love to her as only a real man can? This is the trick to turning a liberal woman into a happy one. It could also get you a raise.
I am fairly certain she isn't into women. But thanks....
Be the one that turns that all around.
It is not a private company. Do I have ground to stand on though? Honestly, I don't want to sue. I want people to know the truth. Red-pilling is hard work. I don't want to take the cry-baby way out and throw a fit. I want to enlighten the masses.
Well said. Thank you. I just worry that my We The People shirt is going to be next because someone will be offended.
I agree. I want to just start sending articles and charts to everyone because the information is all there! People just don't want to see it. Thank you for your insight. It is much appreciated.
