GIVE ME FIVE GOOD REASONS: PUBLIC QUITTING

In light of Steven Slater’s highly publicized exit from an airplane and his career as a flight attendant, my brother by law @Brewery33 thinks that public quitting is wrong. He challenged the world and the interwebs to a #GMFGR and Rogue Mentality was the only one with the cajones to stand up for the working man.

1) A Working Class Hero Means Something to Me- Regardless of the thankless jobs in the nation, the guys swinging the hammer, drilling the oil, or mining the coal make this country run but get the short end of the stick, while the big boss man reaps the million dollar benefits. Steven Slater was just speaking his mind and blowing off steam from 28 years of the grind.

2) Sensationalism Gets Results- If Mr. Slater wanted long term change in the flight attendant industry he had to make a splash and given the media coverage over the last week, he has succeeded. Sensationalism, i.e. The March On Washington, produced results by bringing a worthy cause to the attention of the masses.

3) Freedom of Speech- Speaking your mind isn’t having the feeling of entitlement (as some may say); it is Mr. Slater’s right as an American under the Constitution. If he wants to go down in flames, more power to him.

4) To Rebel Is American- Our founding fathers built America on rebelling against what is unjust or wrong. Just because Mr. Slater’s revolution is only in a niche area of society doesn’t mean it’s not just.

5) Comedy- From Half Baked to Jimmy Fallon (who has been crushing it this past week on Late Night #taketwobeersandjump) speaking you mind and sticking it to the man is great comic relief. Watch this and this.
