I have been an author and blogger since 2004 and a lot of times, I have been forced to pay the price for my controversial opinions. Even given that, I continue to post what I want when I want. I have lost numerous jobs when someone recognized me and went whining to HR. I’ve been stalked. I’ve been doxxed. It’s all the price of being me.
Recently, I have been victimized by bitter people who can’t handle my TikTok profile nor my articles on this site. People have contacted my parish and even my diocese, but since I never make videos on Church property and never even put my parish in the background, the priests are, unfortunately for my detractors, powerless to stop me.
The great thing about recent events is that no one has been able to find my current employer and such, they can’t pressure my employer to fire me. So far, it seems no one has recognized me. I did, however, briefly lose my job. I wasn’t let go because of my writing, but because I refused to intervene when a Latina co-worker died right in front of me.
She needed CPR and I happen to be certified in that regard, as well as AED and Narcan. I’m the guy you want around if you find yourself in sudden medical peril. But in this matter, I refused to come to her aid. Yes, it was strictly due to her race. There were only a few people in the break room when it happened and none of them knew CPR.
Someone asked me if I know CPR. I responded in the affirmative, but I told them that I will not be intervening unless she shows me her papers. Ultimately, she died before the first responders arrived. They were, obviously, unable to bring her back. Suddenly, I became the bad guy. Numerous people demanded my termination and that happened.
My termination lasted for only a few days. I was able to find a lawyer who was willing to assist me with getting my job back. She really didn’t need to do much. She called for a meeting with HR. I was present.
She pointed out that even though New York state is an at-will employment state, they violated my civil rights for penalizing me for keeping myself healthy by not potentially exposing myself to herpes, which is what you can catch when you perform mouth-to-mouth. She also said that a civil rights lawsuit would be lengthy and expensive and all over not doing what I’m not required to do anyway.
They reminded her of my racial motivations and she said “we can settle this in court, or you can simply re-hire him.” She pointed out that my job performance is stellar, my attendance is near perfect and I am a competent employee with promotion potential. The HR people asked us to leave the room so that they could talk.
After about fifteen minutes, they restored my job and, my attorney insisted on back pay, which they granted. I remain with that employer today. Yes, most of my co-workers detest me, though some privately approached me and said they were proud of me for doing the right thing.
Despite briefly losing a job that is quite well-paying, do I regret not rendering aid? Absolutely not! And yes, if she’d been White, Asian or Native American, I would have jumped right in with breathless CPR, something that does not in any way involve mouth-to-mouth.
So the question is this: will people expose my writings and my TikToks to my employer? So far, the answer is in the negative. I have never posted anything about my job. Not on LinkedIn, not anywhere. I would be brave and daring and tell you for whom I work, but I am under a strict NDA.
For the safety of my co-workers and myself, I cannot even disclose the general field in which I work because we are the only company in the state that does what we do. We have no competitors, so if I tell you what I do, you can find me even if you’re a complete retard. So do I feel safe continuing to write what I write and say what I say on TikTok?
Absolutely! Seek me out, haters. I’ve dropped enough breadcrumbs. Come at me! I dare you!
