Vegetarians/Vegans and omnivores, what do you think of this?!

While her callousness about hitting an animal with her car is deplorable, the real reason she SHOULD be fired is for her comments regarding the customers of the place she works for. Any respectable business would not want any of their employees saying rude or defaming things towards their customers at all. Also, publicly stating that she "hates her job" would be more than enough reason to fire her on the spot.

I find it unfortunate that with so many people looking for work, a company would not even attempt to weed out those employees who do not genuinely WANT to be working for them. Comments such as these are made on public forum... anything you say on facebook is indeed publicly accessable, and the comments she made re: customers and her position more than warrant her firing.

By mentioning her company, referencing her job, & publicly stating that she is a manager there she insulted her company. Had she just posted about hitting the cat with her car (which I would personally love to punish her for, but it is not my job) & said nothing about her employer then it would have been non of the employers business. I think she deserves to be fired for starters, then forced to approach the owner of the cat that she hit, then tell them that she is glad that there is one less cat in the world.

Just had a meeting about posting silly things on facebook relating to my company.

While running over a cat, and then laughing about it, is a horrible thing to do, and in my opinion should be punished, I don't think, unless Chipotle has something in their contract about weird stuff like that, she could be fired for it.
Now, the comments about the customers and hating her job- that is the reason she should be fired.

She sounds like a b*tch, really.

Did she do it in the restaurant parking lot? Does she promote Chipotle's on her Facebook page? If not, I don't think they have a lot of basis for disciplinary action, unless it clearly states in the rules and regs of the company that your Facebook account will be monitored and some content will be the basis for firing.
However, that doesn't mean that they can't make her life at work very difficult until she ultimately decides to quit. I've seen that tactic done to people a lot.

What she does outside of work is her business and not Chipotle's. The cat incident has no bearing on what she does and should not be used against her. Since this is in the V&V section, we can equate it with a vegan or vegetarian working for McDonald's etc. As long as that person does a good job, whatever she does outside of it is not relevant.
As for the FB issue, as far as I can tell, it was all a mistake and the page was "trolled" by other users.

Those are two separate issues: The cat thing and the insulting customers thing. The cat thing is irrelevant in terms of her job. That shouldn't have any effect on her career. Now insulting customers? That is ABSOLUTELY a fireable offence. If she had stood in the parking lot and called them stupid she would've been fired no question. Facebook has become just as public as that parking lot, for better or worse. Anything posted there about your job is fair game for your employer to punish you.

I think she should at least be warned - if she is an manager and her facebook identifies her real name, then she is representing her company in a poor manner.

I think someone should run over her and laugh about it.

fired while shes being drawn and quartered and dipped in boiling oil
