GrubHub CEO says resign if you don't agree with his anti-Trump B.S.

[CharlesDavenport]

Here is the email he sent out after the election to all employees -

So… that happened… what’s next?

I’m still trying to reconcile my own worldview with the overwhelming message that was delivered last night. Clearly there are a lot of people angry and scared as the antithesis of every modern presidential candidate won and will be our next president.

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. Had he worked here, many of his comments would have resulted in his immediate termination.

We have worked for years cultivating a culture of support and inclusiveness. I firmly believe that we must bring together different perspectives to continue innovating – including all genders, races, ethnicities and sexual, cultural or ideological preferences. We are better, faster and stronger together.

Further I absolutely reject the nationalist, anti-immigrant and hateful politics of Donald Trump and will work to shield our community from this movement as best as I can. As we all try to understand what this vote means to us, I want to affirm to anyone on our team that is scared or feels personally exposed, that I and everyone else here at Grubhub will fight for your dignity and your right to make a better life for yourself and your family here in the United States.

If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here. We do not tolerate hateful attitudes on our team.

I want to repeat what Hillary said this morning, that the new administration deserves our open minds and a chance to lead, but never stop believing that the fight for what’s right is worth it.

Stay strong,

Matt

Asshat, I am certain that plenty of people don't agree with your irrational characterization of Trump's politics, and what you just did may be illegal. Certainly worthy of a lawsuit.

******** walked it back later but he should be canned immediately.

Sounds like he's inviting a discrimination lawsuit.

Well that company will probably be bankrupt pretty soon, just because a lot of people will quit using it. Nice job dummy......when the majority of the country votes for anything it's probably pretty goddamn stupid to make them instantly hate your company by slamming them. I know he only meant for it to go to employees but he had to know it would get out. It's a good example of letting your anger and vitriol cloud your good sense. He tried to walk back and do damage control but his true feelings are out there already....too late.

At the very least, it's an EPLI claim in the making.

Dow was up again for 2 days after the election. GrubHub down 4% yesterday.

Genius!

Speaking of stock falling, dare I mention Mike Tomlin.

We value everyone's opinion. Except you guys that want smaller government and lower taxes, **** you guys.

I hope a group gets together a class action lawsuit against him. And i'll pass the word to never use grub hub.

I use Ganser. There's also Door Dash and Uber Eats. Hopefully Grub Hub will go bankrupt soon.
