Over A Tie? Saleman Fired For Wearing A Packers Tie!
"With Chicago reeling from Sunday’s painful
playoff loss, Monday morning probably wasn’t the
best time for car salesman John Stone to share his
love for the Green Bay Packers with co-workers and
customers.
But Stone, 34, proudly showed up for work at Webb
Chevrolet in Oak Lawn wearing his green-and-yellow
Packers necktie anyway.
Now he’s former car salesman John Stone.
The morning after the Chicago Bears’ hated rivals
beat them at Soldier Field to advance to the Super
Bowl, Webb’s general manager Jerry Roberts said he
fired Stone for refusing to remove the Packers
tie.
The facts aren’t in dispute, only the
appropriateness of the novelty neckwear.
“He said, ‘You have two options,’” a furious Stone
said Monday. “Remove the tie or you’re fired. When
I didn’t, he said, ‘You can leave, you’re fired.’
Does that sound fair to you?”" - Southtownstarnews
