HE SMOKED, IS FAT & UNATTRACTIVE. THATS THE REAL REASON — ALL COMPLETELY VALID REASONS FOR TERMINATION RIGHT EVERYBODY??
SCOTTS CO — GET READY TO SHELL OUT SOME $$ YOU DUMB ASSES !!!
Studies have shown that obese, fat people can cost companies more for health care costs than smokers. So Scott\’s should fire people that are above the recommended weights for their age and height?
How about people that have very high cholesterol levels?
Show them the door!!
Diabetes, out the door you go too!!
A lot of these are caused by what people eat or don’t eat, exercise or lack of, etc.
So fire them all, their going to raise health care costs for Scotts. Get rid of them
The hypocrisy of Scott\’s, is that they have products, fertilizers, weed killers, etc, that do much damage to the environment, lakes, ponds, rivers, waterways, etc.
There are complete dead zone waters that are in most part caused by runoffs of Scott\’s and other manufacturers products.
Also their advertising, to get rid of weeds and dandelions so you can have a nice looking lawn,
is just trying to hook you into buying their products. Who cares if there is a weed or two?
What else are you killing by applying that stuff to your lawn.
Would you apply these weed killers and then put your baby on the lawn to play?
Besides, there are so many other natural and safe ways to boost your lawn\’s health and appearance than resorting to Scotts chemicals
And their number one threat to your lawn, the Dandelion is a very nutritional plant.
The greens are high in vitamin A in the form of antioxidant carotenoid and vitamin C
Dandelion greens are more nutritious than spinach.
Good points
No cholesterol
Low in saturated fat
Very high in calcium, dietary fiber, iron , manganese, potassium, riboflavin
thiamin, vitamin A , vitamin B6, vitamin E
High in magnesium and phosphorus
Dandelion root contains inulin, which lowers blood sugar in diabetics.
I have been eating them all my life.
We grow the big leafy Italian variety in our garden and pick them in the spring from areas we know are not sprayed, stem them, put some olive oil on them with a slight squeeze of fresh lemon!
So if I worked for Scott\’s, they would probably fire me because I eat the very thing they are trying to destroy.
HaHaHa
This is unbelievable and grossly unfair. If a company wants to have a policy which states that you cannot smoke while on their private grounds, that is their right. But if the company says that you cannot consume nicotine at all? That is just ridiculous. What\’s next? Caffeine? It affects your body in the same ways nicotine does but you never hear about it being banned. The anti smoking campaign in this country is taking away the rights this country was (supposedly) founded on. The right to do as you wish, so long as you dont hurt others.
I simply won\’t purchase any Scott Lawn products. That is my response. If you don\’t want \”my kind\”, you don\’t need my business.
As a Southern woman who owns 7 manicured acres that probably won\’t make an impact on the company or even the Home Depot I buy their products from but I will know by my financial boycott and by encouraging others who smoke to boycott their products…and that\’s sufficient for me.
Yo Jay, so don\’t hire smokers, that\’s your choice. But I bet you don\’t wish others the same freedom, do ya? I guess some rights only apply to some people.
Think about it, maybe medical costs keep going up because all of the \”healthy lifestyle\” people keep falling on treadmills, pull muscles lifting weights, eat too much fiber, drink all those health food drinks (with who knows what chemicals added) and then spend days and days in the doctor\’s office wondering why their pipes aren\’t working right.
So Jay, light up and loosen up!
I hope this man wins his lawsuit and I\’d contribute to the legal fund.
Should a smoker be able to work around all those flamable chemicals!! Hell no. I think this is a great decision. And any smoker who says he never smokes on the job or during breaks or lunch is a liar.
Someone earlier mentioned not being to masterbate at work. I think thats a poor comparison to smoking. I was actually caught masterbating by a co-worker earlier in my carear in the unisex bathroom and was not disiplined. I should have locked the door, yes, but it was still in a private area. In fact I even later went out on a date with the lady who walked in on me, apparently she liked what she saw.
I am a person who smokes. However, I do not smoke at work out of respect for my fellow employees who do not wish to smell the smoke on my clothes etc. Many people have the self control to choose when they smoke, and many people choose NOT to smoke at work and reserve that right for their private lives.
I agree with Smoker with a choice, I will ban Scott\’s products from here on out!
What is next? Big Brother? Will we not be able to drink alcohol at home? or eat Chocolate. What about overweight folks, will they be forced to lose weigt or lose their job.
This may as well be China or Iran.
John is right. Being overweight constitutes a health risk and drives up health insurance premiums. So does people with genetic predispositions for certain diseases, once these diseases manifest themselves. Wait until a company decides not to hire overweight people and starts screening people for genetic predipositions and refuses employment to them, all to save on Health Care costs. A viable business decision, No? Do we really want to open this Pandora\’s box?

Bottom Line, Scotts is totally hypocritical
