Grubhub CEO defends anti-Trump email to employees
SF Gate ^ | November 11, 2016 | Dianne de Guzman

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.

The missive was sent to more than 1,000 Grubhub employees Wednesday in response to past statements made by President-elect Donald Trump.

"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.

Maloney pledged to fight for the dignity of his employees, should any of them feel scared following Trump's election to the presidency...

Lawsuit, fool. Class action. Hostile workplace. Denial of political freedom. Slam dunk. Kiss your company goodbye.

A wise CEO always insults half his potential customers.

Fox and Friends have been giving him publicity the last couple of days. Not the kind any business would want.

Hey dude, you’re in business to make money. It’s not easy to do when you piss off half or more of your customer base. What’s the matter with these lefty CEO’s? What part of “separate your business from your politics” is so hard to understand?

Matt Maloney is about to see the results of his fit of anguish and lash-out. Hostile work environment, political bias, intimidation and a host of other charges these employees’ lawyers will drum up. And, he can expect a less-than-sympathetic DoJ to take his ass to the cleaners.

Well folks, NEVER, NEVER USE GRUBHUB!

While grubhub has a website, they basically lie behind the scenes of any local restaurant near you that provides internet ordering of foods. Those orders go thru the Grubhub and ultimately into the restaurant.

So if you want to take any activist action, find out who grubhub services in your area and let them know you won't be dealing with them anymore......
