She has a lame sense of humor. Why do people think this is a crime?
Iwas going to initially say she shouldn't be fired but there is a case for it based on two things. 1) The incident happened on the organizations dime 2) She is a representative of the organization and they deal with veterans. Had this been a personal trip she paid for I would say no she shouldn't be fired, I still say it's up to the organizaion though.She was on a company-paid trip, and her manager took the pic. She has been placed on leave. That company, Living Independently Forever, Inc., apparently does provide services to disabled vets.

The public shouldn't have a say in this, BUT it would be grounds for termination here because of the nature of the organization and the offense. She pretty much desecrated a tribute to many of the people they serve, not a good tide to swim against for her.She shouldn't lose her job unless the publicity rains down on her company and interferes with normal operations. I don't think that'll happen, though.

If you're on the company dime you're on the company time. In fact for paid conferences many companies have had to dismiss representatives who disgraced them "on their time". That said it's up to the organization to decide what the course of action should be.She was on a company trip, and she was with co-workers, but it's not clear she was on company time at that moment. She may have been on an off-time side trip. The story isn't clear on that point. People usually do have off-time on company trips.

And this is in the non profit sector, much more lenient rules. Hiring managers may not be willing to risk their own butts by bringing in a potential liability.Yes, if you're on the company dime, you're on the company's time. Foolish are the conventioneers, etc. who forget this.
It is up to the company, whose clients are those who have learning and intellectual disabilities, to decide the two employees' fates. I wonder what's in their contracts.
If Lindsey Stone loses her job, she may struggle to find another one because she's demonstrated such poor judgment. Please, 30 and posing so stupidly? And then posting it on FB?
I wonder what she calls her clients. "Retards"? "Dummies"? If she can't be respectful in a cemetery, how sensitive is she on the job?
