Exec Bullies Chick-Fil-A Worker, Then Promptly Gets Fired For It [View all]

quote:


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

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

"I don't know how you live with yourself and work here," he tells the employee at the window. "I don't understand it. This is a horrible corporation with horrible values. You deserve better,"

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

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OK- this guy is a jerk and if you want to see how NOT to influence people watch the video. The CFA worker is a class act.

BTW, the reason he is the "former CFO" is that he got fired for this incident.
