There are still protests across the nation over the death of George Floyd and his controversial death. Our economy has taken a big hit due to the Corona Virus and the lockdowns, so you’d think people would be worried about taking timeoff to protest. But it turns out if you work for the pizza chain &pizza you can maintain your job as they will pay you to go out and protest.
&pizza tweeted about their commitment to this protest.
“For those in this pain. For those in this fight. We stand with the Black Community against racial hate and injustice. In memory of George Floyd & in UNITY always.
From this day forward, @andpizza will be giving its employees paid time off for activism. For those unseen by this country to be seen. For those unheard by this government to be heard.”
“Though a spokesperson was not immediately available to offer further comment on the new policy, a representative told Food & Wine that the additional days off will be added to the paid time off (PTO) that employees already receive.The custom-pie restaurant chain, based in Washington, D.C., employs about 700 people across 40 locations in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts. The new time-off policy will empower employees “to participate in activism of their choosing starting this week and moving forward,” the spokesperson said.”
“&pizza has distributed over 44,000 free pies to hospital workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, while providing raises and extra benefits to employees at all levels of the company, as well as free food and support to government workers affected by the 2019 government shutdown.”
So now you know where not to eat. These protests are getting out of hand. We do not need more people protesting over the death of Floyd. As it stands these protests have turned violent in many cases and in doing so have defeated their whole purpose.
Tribute will protect them against burning and looting? What a wonderful idea to protect their stores.
GM – we call it ‘la mordita” (the bite) sown here. It is just a variation on the old dane geld – payoff or ‘protection’ money. Most of us recognize it as bribery.
Won’t eat their pizza.
Me either – in fact I never heard of that ‘chain’ – they likely ain’t as big or as important as they think they are.
How will handle this when some of their employees are caught doing the looting?
Brilliant. Paid leave to loot is an open invitation to have your place robbed.
Seems to me if they can afford to pay their employees to loot and burn our cities they don’t need our business so guess we can go to another pizza place. May their business be blessed by the same people they paid their employees to join ten times over.
The price of their pizza’s will go up, up the price down the volume, it is called consumer price resistance. So, it will cost them in sales, and what do you and i get, more demonstrators, hand in hand with BLM and Antifa, funded by Geo Soros, the advocate for socialist America.. Influential in DNC politics because he gives the money for their socialist leanings. Anti America, had a taste of socialism in this pandemic, powerful gov’t joining China, Who, NIH, in quest to change our country into Venezuela..Gov’t can make little difference in contracting diseases, the people will control that, always have always will, herd immunity is the only way. vaccines are way the hell out in the future. The common cold is Corona family, no cure or prevention as yet. Natural selection as always is in charge. Looting and burning, killing randomly, breaking things, is an aftermath of planning for us. Antifa already had this planned, the killing of Mr. Lloyd is additional fuel for their fire of stop the violence, and we will give you socialism, power, and all the money you want. We won’t get anything except seized assets, horrid taxes, suppressing gov’t laws, lack of freedom, and bondage.
Glad it is based in – dc – , will not have to boycott pizza out here hahahahaha
So true – I buy pizza from a local non-chain. Great food.
COVID – 19 ( Is A TOtal Hoax)
