They do have a right to fire him for whatever reason they want. I'm not claiming that. I just don't think it's right for them to fire him for anything beyond his work performance.

I don't think it's right for an employer to judge someones character based on one act. What if this guy is a perfectly nice person and good worker at every other time (every day) his employer sees him and the only time he's seen him be an @ss is on this Youtube video? Why should the employer make a judgement on this man's character based on this one negative act rather than the cumulative history of all the positive acts the employer has actually witnessed.

But actually, I don't think that's even relevant. I think people should be allowed to continue at their jobs or be fired based on their work performance not on what they're doing in every other minute of their lives.

Jeeze! Talk about giving your blood, sweat and tears to the job! That's nothing. This would be your whole life.
I have found that someone who would do something like this isn't just all of a sudden doing this. I mean, anyone who would be a jerk to some poor kid in a fast food restaurant, film it and post it is probably a jerk to everyone. It is an indication of his personality I'm sure, and I'm guessing it isn't an isolated incident. We don't live in bubbles, and someone that high up IS a representative of the company, on and off the job. And kind of a scummy human too!

*sadly, some on this thread wasted no time in trying to 'connect' this to Obama, oddly enough, and democrats. Ideologues do get tiresome in their constant swing around into the party line no matter what the discussion is about. It is election time, isn't it ((sigh))
