Pizza Hut manager refuses to open on Thanksgiving

Thank you, and good for you for taking a stand. Baby steps for all of us...

Sounds like a fun Christmas no matter what day you have the dinner!

When I said it felt peaceful, I just meant that when I go outside on Christmas Eve, there's a sense of calm on that one night of the year. It's like everything just comes to a quiet standstill.

Yes, the calculated decision was that he could not leave that job and have people rally behind him. That would lead to less money for the bosses.

So they offered him a job back after he wrote that they were greedy and immoral. Well now he gets to deal with them after having said that if he does return.

If that were me I would not go back there. The management will hold the matter against him or hassle him down the road.

Yet, he actually acted like a leader and managed the situation. They were asking him to make his staff people come in or he would fire them.

Enough, the hell with that fake meat and GMO dought pizza anyway.

Thanks for posting this.

I also like when a person stands up for what they believe in. I wish there were a lot more people who would adhere to their principles.

Whatever this person ends up doing, whether he works for the pizza place or somewhere else, I believe God will bless him for it.

And, we better start standing up. We just better. There will come a time for each of us, whether it be about a job, or something else. Get ready for it.

First things first. Seek first the kingdom of God and all the rest shall follow. Yes. I can relate to his story on point anyway.

I did the right thing last year by retiring from the legal community to care for mom in her last years. At first my flesh tried to say - no - you can't do this. How will you make it? I just trusted God, lived on less and here we are. I'm good and so is everyone else.

Again, thanks.

(P.S. Pizza Hut is crummy. It used to, years ago, be okay, but the last time I ate from there a few years ago, it was greasy and fast-foody.)

I know what you mean...and my favorite song to hear after all of the festivities die down is Silent Night and you're right, the calm and peaceful feeling is almost palpable. Ever watch A Christmas Story? And the scene where the house is all quiet and the two little boys are sound asleep and the mom and dad are standing at the window with the snow falling softly outside with the lights dim inside and just being in that moment of peace together. That's how I feel once it's all over :) And not to thread drift too far, but when I take down my tree each year and put it all away...I find myself wondering where we will be by next Christmas..who will no longer be with us and who will have joined our family..what hurdles and challenges we'll over come and what blessings will befall us. It's a great time of reflection and pondering for me.

Agreed, I would not go back either. I wish I could tell my bosses what I think, but I have nothing lined up. The day will come though, and I can't wait. I'm tired of greedy, immoral "leaders."

I know I'm a contrarian at times, but I think that I would go back there. There are too few role models on how to live life the way it was created to be lived and by going back and living life that way, the guy is a strong, credible witness to that way of life.

Destroys turkey, goes to Pizza Hut and it's closed. Went to the Chinese restaurant across the street to eat "Chinese turkey."

And?
