Grubhub CEO Matt Maloney found himself fighting backlash to a post-Election Day email he sent to employees Wednesday that asked employees who didn't agree with the company's "culture of support and inclusiveness"(i.e. support President Trump) to resign.

"While demeaning, insulting and ridiculing minorities, immigrants and the physically/mentally disabled worked for Mr. Trump, I want to be clear that this behavior - and these views, have no place at Grubhub," Maloney wrote in his email.

I imagine the Board of Directors might have had a say. Stock price down.

While demeaning, insulting and ridiculing Republicans is ok
While demeaning, insulting and ridiculing Liberal CEO is NOT ok

Seems like it is not appropriate for this person to be CEO of this company.

Good for him. He’ll be defending his comments without me as a customer anymore. I terminated my account yesterday.

If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here. We do not tolerate hateful attitudes on our team.

If "hateful attitudes" are not tolerated at GrubHub, then this hatefilled lefty has not place at Grub Hub.

Of course hating everyone who doesn't agree with a lefty is an act of love.

I suggest every employee in this company that voted for Trump, sue the s**t out of this CEO dictator fraud. You can be confident, there are a number of ways to go after this arrogant jackass.

Visited the "contact us" section of their website to leave a two-sentence note that I had heard of their service yet hadn't had the chance to use it previously. Now it will never be utilized.

You will need a throwaway email address. I just used an old unmonitored email account.
