Back to Work



A quick addendum to the last post.

I actually feel really bad about all the employees at Chick-fil-A who have to endure the arguments happening around them due to the company’s poor PR decisions. The vast majority of employees are good people just trying to earn a living, and they shouldn’t have to suffer for the mistakes of the corporation.

I don’t agree with a “Chick-fil-A appreciation day,” but I do think a “Chick-fil-A employee appreciation day” would be much better received.

@ekprazan No, you are just wrong. Completely wrong. If anything Chick-Fil-A has instructed it's employees to remain completely neutral and not respond to any view points the customers say, for example as can be seen in this video here http://www.theblaze.com/stories/college-lecturer-berates-local-chick-fil-a-employee-at-the-drive-thru-horrible-corporation/

Furthermore, not all Chick-Fil-As have the same view as the CEO, which you can see expressed here http://jezebel.com/5930978/chick+fil+a-in-new-hampshire-goes-rogue-announces-plans-to-sponsor-gay-pride-festival as this Chick-Fil-A has announced it plans to sponsor a gay pride festival. I agree that a lot of Chick-Fil-A employees are getting flack for a view that they may not necessarily hold, however, that is not expressed in this comic at all. It does not express that mobs of people are taking out their anger on the employees instead of the CEO, which makes it bad. I'm sorry Andrew, I normally love most of your comics but not this one.

@Pradio They were never made to make signs. It's like a figure of speech. It's basically to show that even though most employees may not agree with the companies stance on gays, they basically have to take the companies side or else lose their jobs. As he said, most of them are good people just trying to make a living.

What? When were the Chick Fil A employees ever required to make signs against gays? Also, from what you posted under the comic it seems like you think Chick Fil A is hosting the appreciation day, but it's actually just a bunch of unaffiliated conservatives.

Also, is there any way I can talk to a mod or something privately? It says my account was flagged for posting hate but I never did anything like that!

This was one of my first thoughts on this as well.
I have to imagine it would especially be difficult for any LGBT employees in the company.

For this though, I imagine that eventually either nothing will happen (because not that many people take their business elsewhere), or the CEO making the comments gets fired/retracts his statements (for the company to try and save face).
