Tony Rohr - an employee at a Pizza Hut in Indiana for 10 years and until just recently, a manager there - has been fired because he refused to open the restaurant on Thanksgiving.
He told his managers that Pizza Hut could "be a company that stands up and says we care about our employees and they can have the day off."
Instead of complying with the suggestion, he was asked to write his resignation. In response, he made the following statement:
"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 [...] I hope you realize that it's the people at the bottom of the totem pole that makes your life possible."
I hope more people follow Tony Rohr's lead so that more families can enjoy time together during major holidays such as Thanksgiving and hope that a more loyal, family-oriented business hires Mr. Rohr very soon.
