Exec Bullies Chick-Fil-A Worker, Then Promptly Gets Fired For It
Business Insider ^ | August 2, 2012 | Kim Bhasin

Posted on 08/02/2012 3:24:21 PM PDT by Iron Munro

Adam Smith, former CFO and treasurer of medical supplies manufacturer Vante, riled people up today when he put up a video of himself bullying a Chick-fil-A drive-thru employee in Tucson on YouTube.

Smith unsympathetically berates the worker in the video, which was initially titled ”Reduce $’s to Chick-Fil-A’s Hate Groups.” It has since been taken down (though other have uploaded it too).

”I’m a nice guy, by the way … totally heterosexual," he says to the worker. "Not a gay in me, I just can’t stand the hate.”

Smith has now been fired from his job at Vante. Here's the press release from Vante announcing that Smith is "no longer an employee of our company," effective immediately:

He recorded what he did and shared it. It went viral. As the CFO and VP of a corporation, one has a duty to that company to protect its image. I’m sure he signed a contract to that effect. What he did reflected very badly on his former employer. Now he has to live with the consequences of his actions. As an adult, he should understand that.

Self-righteous hypocrite liberals like this are nothing more than slimy little immature C-words. For this goon to claim anyone is hate filled is a laugh when he, himself is consumed with hatred.

mware, yes, you are right—good to see the old “standards” here.

Yesterday, I felt better than I have in quite awhile.

Good to see so much support for Chick-fil-A, their employess, their CEO, their founder,the First AMendment and traditional marriage. I was proud to be an Amerixan.

And it wasn’t my first time,either. ;)

He'll have plenty of time to join that college "sit-in" now, though I doubt he'll be able to do much "sitting" after his poor wife gets through kicking his sorry @ss for his outright insufferable stupidity and recklessness with her life. Nice economy for a certified liberal f&cktard to find an officer-level job in finance...after being fired for CAUSE!

Now, how do I support Vante? Anyone?

Freedom of Speech protects us from the actions of our government. An at will employee of a private business can be fired at any time for any reason, or none at all.

Totally disagree...
There is a time and a place for these types of discussions. Harassing a worker doing his job because of what management has stated abt a personal belief is not right or appropriate...
Actually, it’s a chicken sh*t way to make your point.

"The company did the right thing."

With most companies, execs are hired and their employment is continued "at pleasure"

He’s an adjunct with no doctorate. He does has done one lecture, probably in the past, and the pay for adjunct is peanuts. It’s hardly a “job.”
