Vante of Tucson, AZ Regrets Actions of Former CFO
Employee Has Left the Company
TUCSON, AZ–(Marketwire – Aug 2, 2012) – The following is a statement from Vante:
Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam Smith and an employee at Chick-fil-A. Effective immediately, Mr. Smith is no longer an employee of our company.
The actions of Mr. Smith do not reflect our corporate values in any manner. Vante is an equal opportunity company with a diverse workforce, which holds diverse opinions. We respect the right of our employees and all Americans to hold and express their personal opinions, however, we also expect our company officers to behave in a manner commensurate with their position and in a respectful fashion that conveys these values of civility with others.
We hope that the general population does not hold Mr. Smith’s actions against Vante and its employees.

He earned it. A real tough guy, verbally abusing a young lady who is twice the human than he could ever aspire to be.

The short version “We regret Mr. Smith is such a douchebag. We canned his ass. Then we went to Chik Fil A. Thank you.”
@ThisObamaNation – dude, really? You know, there is a section where you can send a tip to BFH, and if he likes it he’ll run it. Don’t be a hijacker.

Wow… I applaud Vante for defending true diversity and tolerance by shit-canning the asshole bigot Adam Smith.

Now THAT’S investigative journalism!!
Find the f_cker and can his ass.
Wish VANTÉ made something I could use; I’d buy one in thanks.
But, stop and think. TUSCON. There’s a clue. Perfect example of liberals wanting to get out of the shitpile they created (Los Angeles) and create a whole new one.

I emailed Vante and thanked them for doing the right thing, in a culture where most corporations bow at the altar of political correctness.
This douchebag had it coming. Maybe it wiped the smug off his face, for a brief moment anyway. Probably not – libtards don’t have a lot of self-awareness.

I hate to see anyone lose their job, but this guy needed a hard lesson in what happens when you bully someone and then proudly post the record in a public place.
On another board, someone remarked that Smith’s behavior was the essence of the Alinskyist approach that now pervades our culture: act like an obnoxious, pushy jerk in commercial/professional situations, and people will concede to whatever demands you make.

Oh to be a fly on the wall when he was called into the Presidents office only to see the corporate lawyer, the head of HR and a security guard as well as the President watching his youtube video. The ultimate “Oh Fuck” moment for this bully. The corporate announcement leaves pretty well no doubt he was fired for cause which pretty well screws him in the employment arena.

On the other hand, Algae Boy is looking for another “body man” since Reggie left. Maybe we could get him hired… He’ll fit right in, so to speak.

I see on his resume that he enjoys being a parent to 4 kids. Should of thought of family values before he decided to do what he did.
now he will be rightfully branded and probably couldn’t get a job at chick-fil-a mopping floors.
perhaps the rest of his libtards and the lbgt groups can donate some money so he can support his family.
what a sad sack.

No worries. Smitty will have a position in no time. Actually he’ll be spending a few weeks with his family (unemployed) but will end up signing on with the DNC in their homorelations department.
He’ll have personal charge of Debbie Whatshername Shlutz’ hair…

When you work for anyone you represent them no company wants to be associated with a bully who beats up on a teenage girl. Smith would not know common sense if it jumped up and bit him on the arse

BWAHAHAHAHA… Who knows what VANTE’s exact political leanings are but after they watched the Support Chick-Fil-A day the last thing that company wanted was a large group of angry conservatives banging on their door.
For Mr douchebag the only word that comes to mind is schadenfreude!!
Also I would love to walk up to him and kick him right square in his pussy.

NoMoBo, do you have the contact info for Vante? I wanted to do the same but now can’t get to their page.
Saw a smug article called “Free speech? Not at Vante in Tucson” at TusconCitizen.com. There were only a couple of others who commented, and they were in favor of Vante. Kinda would be nice to see that silly outlet get slammed with comments to show how off the target they are. Or at least the *^$%&*Y who wrote the piece.
“Then we went to Chik-Fil-A.” TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!

The Arizona Daily Star has been a left prog publication filled with the bent slant that only true progs wallow in. When I lived in Tucson from the late 70′s through the 90′s we referred to it as the Red Star. They have a political cartoonist that is so far left his home toilets flush counterclockwise.
