FedEx fires driver who refused to deliver to homes with flags representing BLM, Biden administration

This makes me smile




Ex-FedEx employee Vincent Paterno mocked Kamala Harris’ name with a vulgar term via TikTok

A former FedEx driver who vowed in a profanity-laced video to never deliver packages to houses championing the Black Lives Matter movement, Joe Biden, or Kamala Harris has since been fired — and now won’t be delivering packages to any houses at all.

First reported by TooFab on Friday, the delivery company terminated employee Vincent Paterno, 39, after catching wind of a TikTok video in which Paterno smugly states he will not extend services to any house with a flag representing BLM, the President or VP, using a vulgar term to mock Harris’ first name.

Winston Rothschild's sewage and septic sucking services are looking for employees. They're offering a bonus of "All You Can Eat".

I'd bet you'd be management quality!

If the packages were coming from another State, wouldn't his refusal to deliver them be considered Interference with Interstate Commerce. Pretty sure that's a Federal crime.

I follow him, danesh, guilt, rxorcist and nurse toughlove, along with muscles and nursing. I follow several others but they're some of the bigger creators calling this crap out.

Not surprised one of their employees would feel comfortable turning their exit into a political statement.

Drop off the package and shut up. It’s not always about you. Imagine if Air Traffic Controllers were this simple minded.
