"If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here" This is elitist and exactly why

"If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here" This is elitist and exactly why we are here today. The country right now needs all of us to be at our best and show inclusiveness.

That needs to start with Trump as he picks rabidly anti-gay Ken Blackwell to his transition team. http://m.dailykos.com/stories/1596184 http://m.dailykos.com/stories/1596184

The statement which he was asking people to agree with being: "to anyone on our team that is scared or feels personally exposed, 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" That seems pretty inclusive to me. I have no idea in what way it is 'elitist'.

  > will work to shield our community from this movement as best as I can. This is the statement that upon rereading his email, troubles me the most. The rest of it with the Principal of Charity could be taken more favourably. In the context he can only mean shielding 'his community' from Trump supporters. What other 'movement' could he be talking about? So it follows that his community does not contain Trump supporters. That's the presumption. I started to defend him in an earlier thread, but now I wished I had not after I parsed that line properly. I'm ashamed to see a fellow Irishman being so blockheaded.

It depends what 'this statement' is, surely. For many, many values of 'this', that is totally reasonable. There are ideas that I and my company hold to be sacred, that anyone wanting to challenge needs to find another job. Accepting intolerance isn't a mark of tolerance.

How am I supposed to show inclusiveness to someone that wants to trample on my civil rights and endanger the lives of my family?

  I understand where you're coming from, and I empathize. I'd like you to try to see the world from my eyes, where that exact same statement applies, word for word, about Hillary Clinton's stance on gun rights.
