His resume still lives in Google's cache. Worked for Vante only since 2010. Eight years at IBM before then. And KPMG and Credit Suisse before that.

I may be in the minority here, but I believe it's a shame that someone was fired for their personal views from any job.

Officers in corporations are held to a higher standard by the company. He made the company look bad. I once worked for a corporation under a contract that specified that any "public conduct unbecoming" was grounds for termination.

I have heard of contracts that specify officers dress in public reflect their professional position, meaning not sporting a 5 day beard, holding a can of beer, wearing a "I'm with Stupid" T-shirt at your kids soccer game ... It is the reality of many corporate/executive positions.

He was not fired for his personal beliefs, he was fired for his behavior and mean-spirited treatment of an innocent girl doing her job. He then proceeded to post his despicable behavior on YouTube with his affiliation to the company clearly made. He was not only an a$$, but relished in it and publicized it.

If he wasn’t he would have said, “I’m not a damn faggot”.

If he wasn't, he would have never mentioned it one way or the other.

Love this article!

My sentiments exactly.

I suppose you’re right about his acts, but the left has gone as far as to publicly vilify people for their political donations, in fact, Obama even made a campaign ad over one of Romney’s donors.

However, if he publicly identified himself as an officer of the company, then I agree completely. OTOH, if he was identified due to people digging for dirt, trying to identify him, I am less enthused by it.

One thing that I just learned, though... I just saw Harris Faulkner on Red Eye, where she brought up the possibility that the guy committed a crime, or at least could have opened himself up to civil action for harassment. The girl being taped actually stated that “I’m uncomfortable with you videotaping me.” Harris opined that his putting THAT statement on YouTube could have opened him to civil action.

And finally, the guy was a total scumbag, because as he starting to drive off, you could tell he was sort of trying to hit on her! I guess he thought she would think he’s really cool for taking a stand against the evil corporation, especially after he told her she deserved better.
