Former CFO Now Unemployed, on Food Stamps After Viral Video

Adam Smith has been unable to find a job since a video he made in protest of Chick-Fil-A went viral.

[@jamesbarca7229]

My guess is he is still unemployed because he is only willing to settle for an executive/management position, which no one is going to give him now. He needs to accept he is going to be a worker and not a boss and move on.

[@Inlieuofsue]

+james barca He did mention he shows the chik fil a video at every interview. I mean, he shouldn't hide it but he can at least handle it differently. If he has changed, I would think he could mention that he was asked to leave. Why? Due to a lapse in judgment on social media which has taught me x, y, z (he would have to search deep and find the professional/personal growth, if any, he has gained). Then only go into detail as asked. Everytime he shows the video to a potential employer, it communicates that it is still something he has not come to terms with and his same lack of judgment which led him to berate that chik fil a employee shows up in other ways.

[@newday2310]

Good, he you lost the livelihood to feed a family of six. What a dumbass. All because he wanted to be a spoiled west coast yuppie with all mouth and no ass. He failed his family. Maybe the next privileged west coast white boy will count his blessings and be more thankful. What a dumbass. #failure

[@nma2476]

+Sue He explained that he shows the video because the other company that hired him immediately fired him and said he should have told them about the video. That's when he decided to show it to all of his potential employers, supposedly in the spirit of transparency.

[@Inlieuofsue]

+nma2476 P.s. sorry for the typos. For some reason I cannot edit it on my phone.

[@nma2476]

+Sue No worries. But I think you made a good point, subjecting a potential employer to that kind of incident would make for an uncomfortable interview.

[@mikewilson4377]

I am a gay man, and where I don't agree with the CEO of chick fil a views on gay marriage, he is entitled to his own opinion. But this guy going into one of their drive thrus, and harassing a innocent worker, just because of what her boss belives in, has only made himself look bad.

[@RebuttalRecords]

It made him look like the absolute idiot that he is.

[@grdn02100]

Chick Fil A also pays big fines for their mall locations that refuse to open on Sundays too. I disagree with his taking it out on a hourly fast food employee - why do you think she works there, however; people have done FAR worse and never lost their jobs. If I were him I'd sue for abusive discharge. I guess his big mistake was filming it. Either theres more to this or if we scratched the surface I'll bet we find that company wanted to get rid of him for other reasons and used this as their excuse.

[@thewintergardener2873]

I commend you... I went to the Chick Fil-A by me in North Palm Beach that day... For pretty much everyone there including myself, it was an issue of free speech.. There was a Gay couple there I spoke to, and they came for the same reason... The only folks there I heard voicing any anti-Gay sentiment, were Blacks.... This has always puzzled me, because both Gays & Blacks tend to be on the same side of the political aisle..

[@thewintergardener2873]

I don't think his employer would have cared had he exercised his right and joined one of the peaceful protests outside one of the restaurants, or outside Chick Fil-A company HQ.. He demonstrated that he could not control his emotions, in a very calculated, cruel and unstable manner .... Few business owners want such a personality to reflect on them, or to run their company..

[@grdn02100]

b Don't tell the 9th circuit it isn't a real thing. If thats the WORST those poor carved out of cream cheese workers have to endure than lets all pray they NEVER EVER attempt to work in ANY service industry in NYC!! They'd be eaten alive within 10 minutes of their first shift. His rant was directed at the wrong individuals but who cares at the end of the day, I mean if he was going to suffer all of this maybe he should've escalated it, then losing his job might make sense than simply b/c he was unkind to the 10% tax bracket who they themselves probably couldn't care less an hour after it happened and who had no affiliation with that software company what so ever. yes I think its stupid to fire someone over that unless, as I stated, theres more to the story than we see here - they were LOOKING for an excuse to get rid of him.

[@butterflyinflight85]

I don't understand his logic. Why go to a drive thru and yell at an employee of a company? They're not the ones that make the policy's or donate to causes. All most employees care about is going to work to get a pay check to pay their bills.

[@butterflyinflight85]

We'll have to agree to disagree. He wasn't speaking out against hate. He was putting hate out into the world. The clerk isn't the one making the rules and deciding how the company donates money. She's there to do her job and bring home a pay check. That's it. He had no reason to do what he did. He wanted to speak out about hate but all he did was put more hate out there. FYI it's not just republicans that are upset about what he did. Do I think it should still follow him this long? Not really. However I also don't think someone who had that kind of a position should have done what he did. He had the resources to handle it completely difference and maybe had he done something different he wouldn't have lost his job and could have affected real change. Freedom of Speech doesn't actually cover Hate Speech. Also something to consider is that when he was hired I bet you he signed something that stated he wouldn't do something that would turn around and look bad for the company. Which this did.

[@butterflyinflight85]

You should re-read what I said. I never said that this should still be following him. I still think it was absolutely the right thing for him to loose his job tho. He wasn't using his head. When your in a position like CFO you not only represent yourself but you represent the company you work for. Which means thinking before you do stuff like this. He didn't and he suffered the consequences. Now does that mean that he should still have an issue finding a job? Maybe, maybe not. We don't know what kind of jobs he's applying for. If all he's interested in is these high-powered jobs then I'm not surprised he hasn't found work yet. Plenty of people have bigger mistakes follow them threw their life. Some peoples mistakes even cost them their lives. In a town just 30 miles from where I live a guy just 21 yrs old was killed in a car accident because he rode with someone who was too drunk to be behind the wheel. Should that one mistake have cost him the chance at life? No. That's just the way it is tho. Whether you or this man feels like it should still be following him the fact is that it is. He will eventually be able to overcome it but until his own drive pushes him to do just that he's going to be stuck. However in the end it was probably a good thing. He actually gets to see his kids grow up. He gets to spend time with them. Had he not lost his job there's a good chance he wouldn't get to do that.

[@reidcircuits826]

manputty4u There are laws for freedom of speech. what you talking about?

[@butterflyinflight85]

Freedom of Speech doesn't protect someone from loosing their job or having other consequences. It just means that someone has the right to say what they want. That doesn't mean it's always a smart decision to do it or that they won't have to deal with fall out.

[@MissHolliday3110]

David Reid freedom of speech wasn't at issue here. What he did was considered harassment and that's not protected by law. Not to mention he made six figures and the employee made minimum wage. ...what kind of guy does that? be a man and talk to the CEO of the company you have an issue with.

Then others are applauded for attacking that one because his view isn't their view. What you stated here is not hateful it was a statement of your view. If speech is truly free it is open to both views, or even other views that match neither. Unless speech is manipulative, coercive, threatening, or trying to incite violence from others it is a view not hate.

Dude went entirely too far when he jumped on the lady at the drive thru she's not responsible for any of the politics behind her Job.

[@rpmfreak9150]

@William Dionicio well it's according the situation, when I was in highschool I worked at a Burger King, and Even though I went and did the owner's landscaping and were friends I never had a clue about his politics. Every situation is different , I guess it's got a lot to do with age and Everything .

[@viking8796]

@William Dionicio I get where you're coming from, but that's just not the way it is. People on the lower rungs of a company don't represent the politics of the companies that hire them, they're just there to get paid. I'm pretty sure that most people that work at chik fil a probably side with the lgbtq community (a lot of young, college-aged people). It might be the owner's views on the front pages, but rank and file don't necessarily believe those things.

[@viking8796]

@William Dionicio "A simple example would be, at McDonald’s your employer demands that you smile and be kind, why? Because you are a representative of the company. Therefore wherever you choose to work, you choose to represent." We're talking about different things. You're talking of employees representing the company's interests and general motifs, not necessarily the politics. An example of employees representing a company's politics would be if chik fil a required all their employees to, as a hypothetical example, refuse service to lgbtq because of established religious beliefs, and then the employees went ahead and enforced that policy by refusing service to those people. As an employee of any business entity, you represent that business' image insofar as customer service and general rules of societal politeness go, but politics are a whole different deal. You can work in a job and still retain your own personal political beliefs. It's too much of a blanket statement to say that if you work somewhere you automatically assume their political views as well.

[@vickieclark5931]

@William Dionicio Not really. People don't work for a company cause they believe in the politics of it. They work there for the pay and benefits. Although I don't agree with chick-fil-a being bigots, if I needed a job and they had an opening, I'd take it in a heartbeat. You'd be surprised how many of the employees may not have a issue with people's sexuality. Some may even be gay themselves without letting the owners know. They are there for the pay and that's it.

[@CSWRB]

Give me a break. This man should be ashamed for continuing to be a self absorbed jerk and unnecessarily putting his kids through this. He's only unemployed because he feels like he's too good to start lower than his last job and won't settle for any thing but a CFO position. Maybe he should go work at a fast food place to get some REAL perspective. He should see how it feels when people blame you for stuff you can't help. Bet he wouldn't be as classy as that Chick Fil-a worker.

[@somebody6433]

Couldn't agree more with all your points. It was fucked up that he videos his kids giving their toys to good will; clearly a publicity stunt to get sympathy but only makes him look like an even bigger jerk. Yep, he's only applying for high level positions I'm sure, but since he isn't getting hired he is ON FOODSTAMPS!!! He doesn't need the foodstamps, it's just another example of him attempting to gain sympathy. After he gave that girl a hard time I bet he felt good about it, otherwise he wouldn't have posted the video. Got what he deserved.

[@montyleverett4471]

And that's the very point that must be made, repeatedly. You can "take a stand" all you like, but you are the reason for what follows. So many do stuff like this today, then blame others when it backfires. It's "bigots" or "sexists" that "won't hire then just because they stuck to what they believed." Never mind that you did something monumentally stupid, like filming as you berate a cashier, then post it online, yeah, it's never your fault.

[@enigmaticfrontier]

You know, that's very well put. If he's "smart" enough to be a CFO, then he ought to be able to find a job. And frankly, why is he on food stamps? His wife works, granted I don't know how much she makes. But by the looks of it, it doesn't look like they're hurting. The house they moved into is what a lot of lower middle class live and retire in. I know Portland, Oregon very well. To be honest, I'm surprised he got fired from a Portland, Oregon business seeing how incredibly liberal they are. It's funny....people stand by their politics until it cuts into their wallets and that includes businesses. Shows the hypocrisy in how these so-called-convicted-by-social-injustice BIGOTS (yes, liberals are bigots, too) think. Anyway, CSWRB, again, well put.

You won't win against society.

Anyone in between won't hire him because he's overqualified so upper management jobs is all he can apply for

[@Mr8aller]

This was an example of an individual on his high horse. Its easy to take a stand for things you believe in. But there is also consequences for actions.

She's working there because she's probably a single mom or a college kid trying to make her way in life and doesn't earn $200,000 a year like you do so you can sit in your fancy car and confront the working class blaming them for the right or wrong positions (in your subjective perception) of the owners.

@Frankie T. Wankum Esq. Gay people have kids. She also said "or a college kid trying to make her way in life." The *point* that there may be many good reasons why that woman took that job is lost on you? Should someone have to exhaust all possibilities in order to make that point?

[@zenodotusofathens2122]

@Frankie T. Wankum Esq. Yes it still stands. That's because I used the word "probably." To me probably is anywhere north of 50% otherwise defined as "more likely to believe something than disbelieve." Duh. 🤪😜

So so happy he lost his job. Amazing move.

[@pixie_the_rabbit2917]

Still funny after all these years! And he is still feels sorry for himself. In 2015 he and his family were still living better than countless people in America, but he acted as though they were forced to live in abject poverty. He was so used to living in what most Americans would consider the lap of luxury that he actually thought he entitled to dump on a young girl, who worked at a fast food. He got what he deserved! You can tell that he isn't sorry at all. He is just sorry that he got caught and the American public was outraged at his bullying a teenage worker.

[@monember2722]

You sound like you are just mad at wealthier people.

[@pixie_the_rabbit2917]

@@monember2722 LOL! Using the very term "wealthy" instead of "rich" is a tell about your socioeconomic background. Do a little fun reading: Vance Packard. Used to be required reading for college students who were smart (but poor) and wanted to move up and blend in. I don't worry about money. I made the decision long ago that I would rather have as much as I need and a little bit more to share, rather than either live to work or sell my soul for money. If you have enough and people who love you, it is more than enough. People in my family range from multi-millionaires to high-earning blue collar. The rich ones worked hard in the 50's: new money. But I will tell you this: money can't make you happy or content. That arrogant jackass was just mean spirited and asinine. Treating a hard-working young person--probably a high school or college student--like that is really inexcusable. He got what he deserved. You don't have to be educated, refined, cultured, or rich to be decent.

[@mayahdoss7050]

For those not from Portland, the grocery store this segment shows him shopping in is called Green Zebra. It's as pricey as Whole Foods, like $6 for a jar of tomato sauce expensive. So those food stamps would go a lot further if he wasn't spending them in yuppie high end food stores 🙄

[@Shendue]

Probably staged. The filming studio chose the place after settling with some place that allowed them to film.

[@noraxbeth]

Wow that is very critical and shows a lack of knowledge of what goes into producing news segments. I doubt he even picked the store. The producers called stores and set it up to get clearance on filming and it probably had to do with what store had the best lighting in their area that they could get the shot of the register from. This dude is clearly broke, the picture of the bridge behind his kids is an IKEA one, and the dude is on unemployment and food stamps and I hope someone in his area reached out after this clip to hire him. It is so so so easy to be critical of how people who are broke spend their money but if they are able to buy any sense of luxury with the small amount of what would be grocery money that food stamps replace then good for them. Being poor SUCKS and this guy clearly learned a huge lesson in humility and desperation. He didn’t pick the stupid grocery store guys.

Standing up for a group of pple who can't stand that a Christian company gave money to another Christian group who don't agree with homosexuality. That can't stand anyone or company to practice their faith. He was actually pretty polite about it. So I'll say he was annoying and frustrating and holding up the line. Yet how is it any different then tons of gays jam packing these restaurants inside and out. While chanting and talking shit. Why did they go to corporate. What were the employees or the pple who want lunch going to do. He did the same thing. Only difference he went threw the drive threw, it was just him, stated his opinion to only one employee for two mins while holding up the line.

[@nerysghemor5781]

Almestica red It is cruel to attack a girl, quite possibly even a CHILD, as a GROWN MAN, to use a position of power with the intent of wounding that person and additionally KNOWING that because of corporate policy, they are not allowed to fight back against your abuse. So yes. CRUEL.
