Vante of Tucson, AZ Regrets Actions of Former CFO
Employee Has Left the Company
TUCSON, AZ--(Marketwire - Aug 2, 2012) - The following is a statement from Vante:
Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam Smith and an employee at Chick-fil-A. Effective immediately, Mr. Smith is no longer an employee of our company.
The actions of Mr. Smith do not reflect our corporate values in any manner. Vante is an equal opportunity company with a diverse workforce, which holds diverse opinions. We respect the right of our employees and all Americans to hold and express their personal opinions, however, we also expect our company officers to behave in a manner commensurate with their position and in a respectful fashion that conveys these values of civility with others.
We hope that the general population does not hold Mr. Smith's actions against Vante and its employees.

They did the right thing to save their hides. Good on them! I think they did the right thing because it was the right thing to do. No company should tolerate a member of its senior corporate officers embarrassing the company, especially so publicly.

To: smoothsailing; All
When I contemplate the swiftness and finality of judgment about the former CFO and 'adjunct professor', I have to say that it is a fearsome and sobering thing.
Consider this my FRiends (no, I'm not trying to sound like John McLame), many if not all of us were raised in an age where this sort of mass online uprising was all but impossible, let alone even imagined except in the realm of science fiction.
The only way that joker could have ended up fired in say, 1970 would be if somehow a TV news crew had been at the Chick-fil-A and set up for some other purpose and recorded the events AND if it had 'gone national' to the big networks. The odds are that nobody, I mean NOBODY would have ever heard of it.
To paraphrase Samuel Morse in 1844, "What Hath DARPA Wrought?"

She should sue the same gay outfit that is suing CFA now, for creating an environment of fear,terror and intimidation. If you watch the video she starts breathing very rapidly when she sees his camera. She was a superstar of composure but she was scared. And like you said, the gaystopo will be out to get her now.

Even though Mr Smith has been roughed up today, I bet he will get some exposure on CNNBCBS and maybe even a little face time at the ‘Rat convention. He’ll be lauded a hero/martyr for speaking his mind/the truth and then being punished for it by an evil, greedy, corporation. (Never mind he’s one of the 1%ers; I mean, he WAS a 1%er.) He’ll land on his feet, and become uber-emboldened and entrenched in the liberal hateful mindset with the support of his new, more-powerful, Rat friends. Basically, if he wasn’t a radical before, he will be now.

I hope this girl is a Christian and if she’s interviewed she’ll say she forgives the guy.
Yes, and she'll also probably say that she'll pray for his soul.

Guess I’m cynical, but most of the people at the top of companies of any size are butt-kissing jerks. My husband encountered many of them when he worked for a large corporation.

The odds are that nobody, I mean NOBODY would have ever heard of it. But you have to remember, he did it to himself 100%. He was the one who brought the camera, he was the one who posted the video on line. Yes, the technology in the 1970s would have been expensive, and there would be nowhere to post it,l but I think if he was a hot head in the 1970s, he still could have found a 1970s way to embarrass himself and get himself fired.

Can you source that please?
Otherwise this silly nonsense of going around forgiving people willy-nilly is not the act of a Christian, it's the act of a lunatic.
