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...

Uber could totally move into that space with a few keystrokes.
They already have the infrastructure there.
Uber drivers would LOVE those calls because it is less wear and tear on cars.

This CEO’s hatred and his description of Trump voters is so sick and wrong. Does he really believe Trump voters are as he describes them? That degree of hatred and stereotyping is as bad as any bigotry that has ever been used to commit genocide. Such attitudes are deadly dangerous. It is no wonder this election came as a shock to the leftist haters—their employees and other people dared not provide any clue of support for American values or for Trump. To do so would have meant vile abuse, job loss, and social ostracism. I believe this is why the polls were so wrong before the election. It was too dangerous to answer poll questions honestly.

Would be very effective to boycott the restaurants they serve.
As long as they do business with them we will not do business with them.

The grub hub service type is a great thing for business travelers

To be fair, if I owned a business, I might do the same, just not in such a blatant way. I would just note, bumper stickers and such.

My kids like my occasional Buy-cott days. Stop by Hobby Lobby for gifts for gift closet/kids’ school projects, then hit Chick-Fila on the way home for dinner.
Intentionally supporting Christian businesses that stood up to Obama’s policies. Well, the kids are more interested in crafts and cookies, but they understand that we do this because others said we shouldn’t.
