Red Wings longtime zamboni driver fired for peeing into a drain, suing saying he has a urinary disorder

[Vukotal Recall]

Blashill has been pissing on the Wings for 7 years and he's not fired...

 

[summer tooth]

What kind of sick weirdo would tattle on him?
Lots of people pee in a bottle at work and don't get in trouble - just look at the recent Amazon story.
Justin Bieber peed in a bucket on video. Tons of people are doing it, and it's not unlawful.

So sensitive

Dude got his dick out at work and got fired. Not ridiculous at all.

What's he suppose to have? A different anatomy?

 

[StreetHawk]

I don't think it's fine but I don't think he should lose his job for it, if he hasn't received a warning before.

Did he report his disorder to his supervisor? That will be a key point in a lawsuit. Employer would have to try to accommodate the employee as best they can.

Then hopefully you would never be a manger for someone like that. I can't believe this post.

LOL. You think this is a common occurrence around the country. People with known bladder control problems just pissing on the floor in middle of the work day?

 

[SensontheRush]

So an employee had his dick out in public at his work in a place where someone was able to see and some of you don’t think he should be fired?

Jesus f***ing Christ guys. People end up on sex offenders lists for this. You can’t just pull out your dick and piss where other people can see. I’d love to hear why people think this is ok.

On second thought, I don’t want to hear. Keep it to yourself.

Context definitely matters with this, and we don’t have enough, but if you pull out your cock and you’re not in a bathroom or your own house, you’re gambling…

I will not stand for this penile segregation.

Frankly, I think people need to think willy long and hard about why getting caught changing your oil when you are in a pinch is all that's required to throw a man into the streets.

The bathroom was 60 feet away. He was accommodated.

If he has no meds or other help then yes. It should be expected.

He's supposed to just piss himself probably. That dude is acting like the zamboni driver pulled a Louis CK and blasted rope at someone.

Let he who hasn't had to piss at an inopportune time cast the first stone. I hope he gets paid and an apology to go with it.

He can't be expected to make it there in time. It's good you're not in charge.

Unless you work for CNN

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Sobotka regularly drove the zamboni at the arena, so he was apparently ok to be far enough away from the bathroom to get that done.

The only mystery here is him getting fired instead of retiring quietly. As others have mentioned, there's likely more to this story.

 

[swimmer77]

Depends?

 

[SensontheRush]

Genitals out at work = bad

Disorder or not, you can’t do that. If he didn’t tell them he had a disorder, it doesn’t even matter. If he did, things get interesting, but at that point you have to make sure you don’t have to put yourself in this situation.. personal accountability.

Look at Mr. Conducts Themselves Perfectly 24/7 over here, telling their boss about their embarrassing age-related disorder, good for you man! Telling your children about your poor performance in bed as well? Do the neighbours know how much in debt you are?

Wow, this is pretty blunt stuff. Given the tone of your post, it seems like you were really holding this in and just needed let it loose at the first chance.

So he just preferred the drain to a toilet?

 

[common12]

If you can't make 60 feet when you have to go you should maybe wear one of those adult diapers like oh I don't know the elderly have been doing for years. Its literally a 20 Billion dollar industry. There is zero excuse to whip out your dick and piss in a drain. You are just looking for any excuse possible to make this seem okay. Its not no matter how hard you try.

Going by your posts in this thread thus far i would say you are the sensitive one

And yet he is right. .. .

 

[daver]

Should we now question was exactly was steaming out of the back of the Zamboni?

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Is it offseason?

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Why can't he be expected to make it 60 feet to the bathroom? Conservatively that means taking 30 steps.

If his condition crops up with so little warning and inability to hold it, how did he every manage to zamboni the ice?

 

[illpucks]

Should have just sent him to Nashville. He could add to the logo on the ice without any major issues.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

People realize urinating in public is a crime, yes?

"Sometimes I have to pee with such urgency I can't be more than 50 feet away from a toilet"... that would absolutely impact your job performance. If he had gone to the Wings they may have worked something out. Or maybe he was afraid they would push him into retirement, or even stop him from driving the Zamboni.

Story ends with him playing goal and shutting out the Maple Leafs
