Pizza Hut comes to its senses

You have to hand it to the corporate brass at Pizza Hunt, Inc. It knows how to wipe the marinara sauce off its face.

Seems that one of the company’s managers, Tony Rohr, refused to open an Elkhart, Ind., Pizza Hunt on Thanksgiving. He wanted to give his employees a day off to spend with their families.

The company asked Rohr to write a letter of resignation. He complied, writing: “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 is the people at the bottom of the totem pole that make your life possible.”

Pizza Hunt fired Rohr for insubordination.

Then it hit the fan.

The bad publicity that hammered the company forced the corporate moguls to change their mind. They offered to give Rohr his job back.

However, Rohr isn’t so sure he wants to return. He’d been a 10-year employee of Pizza Hut. He told the company he’d think about it. “That’s something I can’t decide right away,” he told CNN. He also mentioned the pride his friends and family have expressed to him since the story got out.

Well, I’m neither a friend or a family member, but I’m proud of him too.
