1400 employees huh. Well statistically speaking, he just insulted more than half of them. I'm glad I don't work at grubhub, where obviously international politics are more important than a cohesive team atmosphere. Here's an idea, keep your opinions, right or left, to yourself. Politics, religion, sexuality, etc. have no place in the workplace and it's embarrassing that a publicly traded company's CEO would drag such nonsense into a professional workplace. This holier-than-thou attitude about the election and Trump is ridiculous. No one likes a whiner. There's no crying in baseball. I'll be using doordash from now on.

  That would be statistically inaccurate seeing as how Trump lost the popular vote.

    Close enough for government work

    It's well under half when most of their positions are in Chicago and New York. But I hope they don't actually trust "we welcome and accept employees with all political beliefs" after singling out Trump supporters and ignoring Clinton supporters who are doing things like disowning family over this election.

      Yep, I'm seeing this in San Diego, too. People I was friends with before the election who now avoid me and talk behind my back and glare daggers at me. I mean, hey, we're both the same people we were 12 hours before, yet now I'm some sort of monster? Uh, what?

These guys run a sweatshop, they fire employees on a dime, underpay and generally abuse workers. Hypocrisy and hysteria once again.

After having spent 20+ years in IT (11 of which was in government) I find it very disturbing when someone says fall in line or get out. No one likes to hide who they really are.

Yep, I personally hereby guarantee I will never use GrubHub. The danger in politicizing your business is the alienation of half your talent pool and millions of customers. I'm tired of businesses acting political, and will cease to do business with these offenders until they stop. They're free to speak their mind as individuals, but not wield their businesses as weapons.

  For every opinion like yours, I guess there are folks like me who like businesses taking political stands for what they believe is right. I'm happy to start being a Grubhub customer.
