Where are the gays (whom we constantly hear are as financially successful as they are compassionate) to hire this guy who stood up for them? Chick fil A ought to make him offer. Love to see how that would be reported.
I’ll say it again. I hope he starves.
L
CFO with a medical device company $200,000+ per year?
Must not have been a very lucrative company.
>>Actions have consequences. Pick on a cashier is a BAD idea<<
Wasn’t she cool? Living the Christian Values in a way I am not sure I could.
The old saw “Pride goeth before a fall” seems to apply here. I like it.
First I really doubt his claim;
second, federal authorities take bomb threats seriously, has/had his company taken any action against the so-called bomb threats? Why did the company simply 'fire him'?
My guess is that this guy's just another media attention %hore.
the hater was the one holding the camera.
Nobody, not even a liberal company run by gays, wants to hire an abusive person for a management position. Would you want to work for that a**hole?
Exactly.
He was making a great salary and he picks on a minimum wage employee!
What a jerk.
“At the time, Chick-fil-A was facing a huge public backlash...”
Ha! Wrong. Chick-fil-A was facing a manufactured attack by the media and a few special interest groups, and idiots like Mr. Smith were fooled into thinking it was a genuine public backlash. Then, the real public backlash showed up and idiots like Mr. Smith were on the wrong side of it.
If he asks nicely perhaps Chic-Filet will give him a free meal?
His voice mail was full of bomb threats? Yeah. Riiiiiight.
So - Here's a hypothetical (but completely believable) backstory:
This Smith character has been an abrasive, abusive presence in the workplace for some time. His management (CEO, BOD) have been looking for a graceful way to get rid of him.
And as if scripted, he offers them the perfect opportunity.
“I think it was more than that which got him fired. If he was a jerk to a cashier at Chick fil a, chances are he was/is a jerk in other aspects of his life, including his job. Just speculating, but I’m guessing his employer wanted to get rid of him for some time and this stunt was the last straw.”
Nailed it. They guy is obviously a bigot, he hates Christians and family values and probably makes sure everyone at work knows it.
An unemployed liberal on foodstamps? Hey, he’s living the dream! We should congratulate him on achieving the ultimate progressive goal! Well done, sir! Well done!
Says you. What I remember is going to the "support Chick-Fil-A night and standing in line for over an hour to get good." I remember everyone standing there, very patient, and loving the chance to do so.
good = food*
Although I don't see this as a real fee speech issue and businesses should be able to make business decision, I agree with your point.
IMO, this is no different than that Mozilla guy losing his job for simply donating to CA Prop 8. I think some folks here are being a little hypocritical
