I am a transgender minority and I get paid below average for my field. Probability wise you are in a position with more privilege then me.

Thus you are the one speaking from a place a minimal compassion. Think on that.

Let me put more emphasis on what I thought was implied but didn't get through. I think these things need to be part of a job description.

If the expectation is MADE clear to the employee before he is hired, then it's fair game. He volunteered for this stuff. I am not advocating forcing this stuff onto people who didn't know about it.

The problem is etiquette. It's sort of not good to put this in the job description officially so employers need to somehow subtly convey this employees that this is what will be expected.

Yeah I work for google.

Let me reword my sentence a bit because I left some things implied but a lot of people didn't pick up on it. It should be an expectation put FORTH in the JOB DESCRIPTION before the employee is hired.

It is a reasonable expectation, PROVIDED the employee knew about the expectation BEFORE he is hired.

If he didn't know about it, and the expectation was sprung on him, then it is UNFAIR.

>In what universe? Sorry, but only a sociopathic boss would consider this "reasonable".

My point is it is reasonable for an employer to LOOK for an employee with these characteristic qualities.

It is unreasonable for an employee to demand this behavior out of you when they didn't inform you up front that's what they hired you for.

So in other words, this kind of stuff needs to be put in the job description. It needs to be explicit. In that case it is fair.

Not in the clause. It should be in the job description. Upfront and explicit:

   We expect you to drink and bond with the team. We are looking for a person who is very similar and can fit in very well socially with the team we have built. 

I think this is fair. I think it is UNFAIR for someone who is not this person to pretend that he is, get the job then use the law to protect himself from getting fired.

Let me ask you, do you think what the later person did is fair?
