I work at a chain restaurant as a bartender and I just found out that my boss is a registered sex offender. I saw a post on Yahoo Answers that had a link to an investigation website ( http://background-records.net/ ) .....well I was bored this morning and decided to check it out and I just started entering names of people I know. Well, long story short I entered my manager's name and it turns out that he was convicted of sexual assualt and is a registered sex offender! I looked him up on Megan's Law and the site had his picture! I am shocked. I don't know if I can keep working there. How can they hire somebody like this? Should I quit or tell somebody? I appreciate any advice that ya'll can give. Thanks :)

Mind your own business and let the man do his job!
He has paid his debt to society. As long as he is now abiding by the law he should have a right to live in peace!

I'm sure SOMEONE had to be made aware of his background--right? I mean, on every job application I've ever seen, there's that little box "convicted of a felony", right?
I'm not one for the anonymous stuff, but in this case, you might want to send a copy of it to the hiring manager.
It's not a crime for him to work (as long as there's no kids involved..then again, what was his crime? Sex Offender doesnt necessarily have to be a crime against children...YIKES--women, drinking, hmmmm!). BUT it is a crime if he LIED on his job application.
I don't like this situation and I dont think you feel very safe right now. Perhaps you should quit and send the information anonymously before you quit (so it doesnt look obvious, and make sure you give them a good excuse for quitting, like "I got another job, more money better hours"). You are in a tough spot, good luck, kid!

If you don't think you can work with him now, then you should find another job. He has to have a job too and he is limited in the places he can work because of his conviction. If he's doing his job and acting responsibly he shouldn't be fired. If the owners did a background check on him before they hired him then they already know.

Your job is your job. It put's food in your belly, and a roof over your head. Did you like the gentleman before the investigation? If yes..then maybe..just maybe..he learned his lesson and has changed his ways. If he smacks you on the butt to say hello,then he is not a gentleman and needs to be taught some manners. Have a great night and don't let anyone drive home wasted. Your employer could be avoiding a discrimination suit.

till you intend on spending a great number of time along with your boss outdoors of paintings what does it even remember? 4th degree i've got self belief is the backside degree. She in all probability connected with some sixteen year previous whilst she became 19 or something. risky felons regularly have a complicated time staying out of difficulty so if she's functioning properly in society it became in all probability a onetime subject.

i would use it for added knowldge -- if you notice any strange behavior you could report him to the authorities. other than that he is still intitled to a job.
I used to have a neighbor that worked on family sexual assault cases. I told her i couldn't do it because i would want to kill the assaulting parent. she gave me some very good advice i thought -- she told me the kids get help. there is no help for the parent.
more than anything else hes got to live with what he did -- that would be more of a hell than anything i can imagine.

You are not the Judge and you are not the Jury. The legal system, strange as it is, has already dealt with this guy. For you to 'do something' could result in legal action against YOU, such as harassment, defamation of character, slander/libel. You know, would it hurt to just mind your own business? That, or get another job.

Legally, sex offenders can be hired. If you don't feel comfrotable in your job now I'd say you should definantly quit. If you choose to stay, assume that he has served his time and has reformed (but keep an eye on his behavior all the same). just don't freak yourself out unnessecarily.

Although I think all sex offenders should be drawn and quartered, at least the man is working and maybe(like 5% chance) he won't do it again

Make sure you are right, then report it (or ask) the higher ups if they know.
Of course even these people need a job to survive.
