Grubhub CEO throws a fit and tells pro-Trump employees they have ‘no place’ in company

Those who disagree with political screed told to ‘please reply to this email with your resignation’

WT: The CEO of food ordering company Grubhub unleashed a political screed after the Nov. 8 election and said that those who disagree with its anti-Trump views should resign.

Matt Maloney’s Grubhub facilitates food orders for more than 45,000 takeout restaurants in the U.S. and London. The Donald Trump-supporting employees who make it run smoothly were sent an invective-laced email Wednesday and told to quit if they disagreed with Mr. Maloney’s claims.

“I’m still trying to reconcile my own worldview with the message that was sent last night,” Mr. Maloney wrote in a company-wide email titled “So … that happened … what’s next?”

The Grubhub co-founder then went on to blast the billionaire’s “demeaning” rhetoric towards minorities and other groups.

“I absolutely reject the nationalist, anti-immigrant and hateful politics of Donald Trump and will work to shield our community from this movement as best as I can,” Mr. Maloney continued, Fox News first reported Thursday.

“I want to reaffirm to anyone on our team that is scared or feels personally exposed, that I and everyone else here at Grubhub will fight for your dignity and your right to make a better life for yourself and your family here in the United States,” he said in the email, which the company later posted online.

  1. I’m irritated as all hell about this because every now and then when Lupus is making it impossible for me to make my own dinner, I order the best, cheapest Chinese food in my area using Grubhub. But I won’t use Grubhub anymore. Why the hell should I? If that’s how that fucker feels about Trump supporters, I’m not going to give him my business.

    Liberals make really awful businessmen. Just like those dumb c*nts who bashed Ivanka after she ordered jewelry from them. They will sacrifice their own business just to feel morally superior.

    I really hate these people.

  2. What’s with the Hub-bub Grub-Hub?
    You have announced to the world that you are an immature, petty tyrant, who is the exact antithesis of the American Way.
    Your venting to your employees is fine, you wish to (childishly) display to the world the theme of your ‘Corporate Consciousness’ .
    Threatening your employees by implying that if they like Trump or support him they ‘have no place’ in your organization because you conflate and project your self-imagined traits of Trump onto people who make your fortune for you is a mark of immense immaturity, a window into your petty tyranny, and a beacon to wise men everywhere to avoid your presence both personal and professional, like the plague.

  3. Read between the lines. This company probably doesn’t pay well and probably relies on illegal aliens to do the delivery grunt work. It’s simply selfish.

    Statement was about making a better life in this country. Not YOUR country.

  4. Liberals are validated so often through media and entertainment they seem clueless that anyone else could possibly have a different world view let alone half the country.

  5. So, he now claims he didn’t ask for resignations from those who voted for Trump, meaning you can keep your job if you voted for him despite his “nationalist, anti-immigrant and hateful politics.”

    Well. That’s completely different. *eye-roll*

    Collectivist wanker. I hope his entire personal wealth is invested in his company’s stock, and it crashes and stays crashed until he’s bought out by Donald Trump, Jr.

  6. MY MY the new Attorney General for the USA is going to be a busy busy person. So many special prosecutors to hire, so many lawsuits to file, so much wrong to set right. When his board of directors fires this qweef for GrubHub, guess he can start looking for an expensive attorney or five to defend his prejudicial, racist, and heterophobic ass. Not to mention those dark corners in the night where he will find surprises awaiting him. Bet his butt is clenching tighter than Obobo’s when the Wookie gets her mojo on.

  7. Seems to be a repetitious theme now….make stupid threats in the media circus post election, beat your skinny chest like a howler monkey, fling poo, and then recant with many eye rolls all around your dumb ass. CAN YOU MAKE YOURSELVES LOOK ANY MORE PATHETIC, YOU TWITS?

  8. I read on some other site (can’t find it again) the CEO sold a boatload of his stock right before announcing his intent to make the employees resign. Sounds like a violation of SEC rules.

  9. I went onto Grub’s website and looked a their page for the Management Team – you can damn well be that their HR person or their inhouse attorney called this asshole up and said “DUDE! You can NOT say that! You’re opening us up to a huge lawsuit. Anyone can sue us now, saying you created a hostile work environment…..blah yada”

    Then I clicked on their Fakebook page and saw that someone had screenshotted his email rant and attached it to his slightly less assholish email of today. Then everybody piled on. Great fun.

    Maybe it’s time for Mansfield Lovell, famous raconteur and Yelp reviewer to maek a Yelp review of Grubs….

  10. One of the things that is great about America, mentally clueless persons [MCP] always stand up and identify themselves, like Gov. McAwfully of Virginia. He is confused over the correct spelling of his name.

  11. Leftists, love creating quicksand they think will trap conservatives – of course it backfires.
    The GrubHub idiot is now neck deep in his own stupidity. He’s fired and GrubHub will soon be, no more.
