He was told opening on Thanksgiving this year was mandatory, so at a meeting with his superiors he decided to take a stand.
"I said, 'Why can't we be the company that stands up and says we care about our employees and they can have the day off?'"
Tony says it wasn't about him. It was about his employees.
He told his bosses that he would not open the restaurant he managed on Thanksgiving.
"Thanksgiving and Christmas are the only two days that they're closed in the whole year and they're the only two days that those people are guaranteed to have off and spend it with their families," Rohr says.
Rohr says he was told to sign a letter of resignation.
He refused.. instead he wrote a letter explaining his position to his boss.
In the letter he wrote, "I am not quitting. I do not resign, however I accept that the refusal to comply with this greedy, immoral request means the end of my tenure with this company." He added, "I hope you realize that it is the people at the bottom of the totem pole that make your life possible."
My thread title is fine.

Another chain I will no longer be doing business with, and I will be explaining why.
Oh my word, you're right. It took me like five reads to get it.
It's funny, sometimes a customer will use a wrong word and I'll barely notice. It is as though I will actually hear what they intended to say (which is a bit bizarre.)

and he should have lost his job...funny how in these times...a manager is saying he wants to have employees have the day off when most people are begging for extra hours or more hours as the holidays approach...thanksgiving has been lost in the rush towards christmas....
i go back to work today...yes on thanksgiving..when one works at a ski slope ....one does not have winter holidays...i will take the solstice off and work christmas day so someone with small kids can have that day off...but we are told right up front.....you work holidays.....i am sure the pizza hut people were told the same...
now here is my question.....getting big and bad and boycotting pizza hut....yall gonna boycott all the places that are open today? hell no...everyone gets all mouthy on a messageboard and then goes right on in real life...as if nothing happened
fdr? messageboards or working thanksgiving jon?
