Fired For Drinking Wrong Beer

(Racine, Wisconsin) Working for CJW Inc., the area's supplier of Miller Brewing Co. products, Isac Aguero unwisely allowed his picture to be taken while enjoying a competing brand of beer. The picture showed up in the local newspaper and CJW Inc. fired him the next day.

Wrong Beer
Isac Aguero - Fired for drinking wrong beer.

So, we now have a beer distributor in Wisconsin who fires employees for drinking the competitor's product to go along with the previously discussed Michigan company that fires any employees it finds are smoking while at home. How long will it be before some company requires a DNA profile from job applicants to screen out those people at risk for genetic maladies and diseases? Slowly but surely, companies are trending toward hiring people and maintaining a workforce based on characteristics that are not job-related.

Aguero may seek employment with Anheuser-Busch.
