Was it maybe The Fountain (2006) or some other Darren Aronofsky movie?

Surprisingly this one actually didn't lead to someone being fired because the person was never found, but when I was a teenager I worked at a local retailer in Canada called Canadian Tire. The manager called everyone into the employee washrooms to show us that someone had scrawled "CT sucks" in human feces -- presumably their own -- on the inside of a toilet stall.
omg it wasn't "Dr Death" aka Christopher Duntsch was it?
In the early 2000s I had just come out as a transgender woman and the world was much more hostile towards trans people back then. I was hanging out with some friends in Toronto at a New Years Eve party and I had to use the washroom sooo badly but there were like hundreds of people around the entrances. It was my first time ever using a public washroom as a woman, and it couldn't have been more public.
I ended up chickening out and peeing in an alley later out of desperation. It sucked big time.
Wow, hey buddy, after looking through your comment history I see a long standing pattern of sarcasm, derision, and outright anger. If you're not already doing so, you should strongly consider therapy for anger management.
Does it matter what their intentions are if the result is that they end up protecting employees too? They are being paid by the company too, and it's their job to make sure the company follows legal practices to ensure the company doesn't get sued. Of course they have an incentive to protect the company, but any trained and educated HR person knows that treating employees well is a great way to protect the company.
Does it always work out that way? No. Why? There are HR people who are bad at their jobs or intentionally malicious or unscrupulous, yes. There are also "HR departments" that are run by family members of an executive of the company and don't have any idea what they're doing.
All I'm saying is that HR departments, most of them, at least try to talk executives into doing the right thing, but at the end of the day HR doesn't get to make the final decision.
If you're mad at the HR department of your company for something, it almost certainly wasn't their idea.
Or in very simple terms, don't shoot the messenger.
I have no opinion on that because that's not what we're talking about. Usually companies that offer hourly rates rather than salaries don't have an HR department, or the HR department is so far removed from those employees as to make no difference to them whether they're there or not.
I'm not sure what you want me to say because it's pretty much irrelevant to the situation I'm describing.
You're making up straw man arguments and you obviously haven't even read my post.
Also, I'm not HR.
I understand your point, although I disagree. I will say that my intentions were never that you (and everyone else) should be buddies with HR, or even trust them. But there's a huge difference between being friendly but at a distance and being actively hostile.
You get paid by the company. The company not closing down benefits you. Also, your performance should (in most cases) lead to raises to your salary.
Thanks, but they're actually both accepted spellings.

That's exactly what happened with Dr Death and why he wasn't caught for such a long time.
