Grubhub CEO Matt Maloney says his comments were misconstrued in an email Wednesday in which he strongly objected to President-elect Donald Trump's incendiary policies.

"I did not ask anyone to resign if they voted for Trump," he said in a blog post late Thursday. "To the contrary, the message of the email is that we do not tolerate discriminatory activity or hateful commentary in the workplace, and that we will stand up for our employees."

quote:


In an email to the company's more than 1,000 employees on Wednesday, obtained by BuzzFeed News, Maloney said:

"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. As we all try to understand what this vote means to us, I want to affirm 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.

"If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here. We do not tolerate hateful attitudes on our team."

I've ordered off Grubhub a few times. Will never do it again.

Btw Postmates is a new option if anyone is looking for an alternative.

Well, I wont be using GrubHub ever again. Already removed ap from phone. Will be happy to watch approximately 1/2 of their customers stop using them, and for such loss of business to be reflected in their stock price. I suspect only then will he, and more importantly their Board, come to fully appreciate the absolute stupidity of his hateful rhetoric.

Use Waitr (if it is in your area) or Uber Eats over GrubSmug

#BoycottGrubHub was trending last night - until #BurnNewBalance hit the air.

And even more damaging is if restaurant owners stop allowing their service to be used.

He is going to learn a tough life lesson with this. He wanted to vent and take some shots at Trump and his supporters and he chose just about the worst forum in which to do it. He will pay a big price for this whether it is ultimately losing his job (board and shareholders of a publicly traded company hate this kind of shite) or just damaging his bottom line remains to be seen.

There is a reason there is age-old advice about being very selective about who you talk with about your personal politics.
