		<description>Dude, chill, the shareholder story is probably Bullshit!! Get u&#039;r rocker friends together, find this Rene guy outside work and beat the crap out of him for being a racist SOB!! He probably has a Facebook account and has something against you and checked out who from Unilever is on Facebook and being a racist MF, he decided to give u a hard time.

Pick up the phone and call the COBP line (did my homework for u) and report him. They can only fire u for excessive use of Internet, you probably signed something somewhere when u joined. Other than that, speak to a superior and confront this Rene guy and you&#039;ll find out that this is the fact... Good luck, coz unfortunately, we live in a world with morons around thinking that because u r named something, that u are this or that. Good luck to those named Hitler as well..</description>

		<description>Well, first of all, this is the most stupidest request someone can ever request (that sounded weird) anyway... I work for a multinational too, and if someone asked me to do something like that, I would tell them to go do something useful and accuse him/her for being racist, then make sure that I change my profile pic to something even nastier (maybe put a real grenade!!). Of course this depends on how you rank internally especially if you&#039;re good and if they can&#039;t afford to loose you.

Do your homework as eye-of-horus suggested. They cannot fire you because of the pic in your personal profile outside Unilever (but u can get a strike 3 on u&#039;r net browsing and that does it). If they do fire u because of the pic and u can prove it, then you can sue them big time!! and get some good money (depending in which country your are of course) especially on racist grounds because you can clearly see that whomever that Shareholder was, he is judging you because your named Muhammed and have a grenade like pic in your profile (this also proves the IQ level of the shareholder and all those people who think that way) I feel sorrier maybe for those who are named Hitler with those kind of people existing hehehe. If you were Steve or Albert, then no problem. Find out the name of the shareholder and get a dog, shave it&#039;s ass, teach it to walk backward s and name it with the shareholders name. It will help you psychologically.

You should also have a COBP hot line in Unilever (I love networking and did some homework for u) where you can complain about any unfair treatment you get. Give them a call once u&#039;r sure about plan B and see what happens. Make sure you tell them Rene asked you to do so.</description>

		<description>Corporate paternalism (morality policing) is as old as the modern mega-business. Henry Ford and A.P. Giannini (founder, Bank of America) were notorious.

I suggest that you look into what your rights actually are. Perhaps speaking with an attorney might also be useful. Let&#039;s face it, they have a paper (and electronic) trail. You must document your own actions as well as theirs. [Stay away from your HR people; they&#039;re just corporate spies.]

Since everyone must have a Plan B, get yours in place: financial reserves, up-to-date resume ... interviews even.

You can be fired at their will. . . without prior notice. You can also resign at your will . . . without prior notice.

Been there, done that more than once . . . it ain&#039;t easy, but it&#039;s good practice.

		<description>I can&#039;t say that I really feel sorry for you.  The reality is that all workers at major companies such as Unilever make compromises in their lives outside of work.  Do you buy different clothes than you normally spend outside of work?  Do you have business travel that takes time away from your friends/family?  Are there times where you have to come in early and stay late?  Look, that&#039;s work and you&#039;re a professional.  If you don&#039;t like it, take another job.

Also, I can also see why anyone would be concerned about someone named Mohammed with a GRENADE on his profile.  Your co-workers should be scared shitless.  I know, I know: &quot;but that&#039;s not fair!&quot; and you&#039;re right, it isn&#039;t.  But it&#039;s life.  So deal with it.</description>
