An ex-CFO and Chick-fil-A protestor who lost his job after posting a video rant against one of the chain's employees has since lost his home and lives on food stamps.
Adam Mark Smith, 37, who worked for an Arizona-based medical device manufacturer, was shamed after the 2012 YouTube video was posted showing him berating employee Rachel Elizabeth.
The video which expressed his disdain over the firm's anti-gay marriage stance went viral, and left him unemployed and forced to lose his home.
Nearly three years later, the married father of four is still searching for a job and his family previously had to give away possessions before he was hired and fired again, according to ABC.

Ping. *grin*
Now there are eight.

Boo hoo to him. Words have consequences.

I’m more curious where Rachel is at this point in her life.
Has he tried to apply at Chik-fil-a?
That’s actually a pretty good question.
Just speaking generally, anyone know offhand?
My question too. Needs an answer and crowd sourced support.
Just there today at CfA. Such nice kids.
Perhaps there is another set of reasons he is unemployed and living on food stamps.
Perhaps the medical device manufacturer looked at the added costs it would bear under the Affordable Care Act just before he stood up and made himself a target. They cut his salary out of the budget and likely replaced him with someone the company paid less and got more value from.
Perhaps he thinks his skills are worth more than they are in today’s market. I know many people who have lost their jobs through not fault of their own (unlike this moron) who realized that they had to recognize that they would not find employment at their previous salaries. They took less compensation to find a job and then by executing their tasks demonstrated they were worth more—and most of them received significant raises.
Perhaps this moron does not realize that his infamy precedes him and that because he is a loose cannon other companies are reluctant to hire him because of the potential he will have another meltdown which could cost the company good will and cash are reluctant to hire him.

Well, this can go the other way, just don’t harass people from another business.
As it is written: Act in haste, repent in leisure. So he’s getting his leisure all right ....
Has the turd repented?
Mr Mark Adam Smith went through the Chick -fil-A drive through, ordered only a free cup of water and then proceeded to lambaste the courteous young lady working the drive through window.
And videotaped his abusive conquest of an innocent ten and posted it on youtube for all to see.
This guy exposed his lack of judgment, penchant for bullying and abusive behavior, and his inability to conduct his affairs in a civil, temperate and professional manor.
No way on earth could any HR department hire this guy as an officer of a company.
“Perhaps this moron does not realize that his infamy precedes him and that because he is a loose cannon other companies are reluctant to hire him because of the potential he will have another meltdown which could cost the company good will and cash are reluctant to hire him.”
That is most likely correct. If somebody loses a temper and goes nuts, they are way too risky to have an employee, since how are you supposed to know if he won’t flip out at a customer? How many potential customers know who he is and would be bothered by having him serve them? As tough as it may be, he may very well need to lay low and ask the press to really leave him alone to let his bad rep diminish, then, when seeking a job, explain that he has become a better employee since his error.
Thanks for the good news.
