Pizza Hut Demotes Delivery Man for Defending Himself Against Attack

[jnelsoninjax]

Protect yourself from attackers and receive ? a demotion? A pizza delivery man in Maryland who fought off a group of attackers was given just that. Sam Swicegood was demoted from his job at Pizza Hut after he defended himself from being beaten up.

Swicegood described being sucker punched, after which defended himself by covering his face and swinging a small pole at them repeatedly. ?I thought that I was about to die,? he said.

Pizza Hut cut his hours and his pay for violating their no weapons policy.

Wow, seriously they are considering a "small pole" a weapon, and even though anywhere he delivers is "The workplace" that is a bit ridiculous. The only thing I can think of is that he might not have been a stellar employee and they have been looking for a reason to get rid of him and took what they could get.

**** I am a weapon, I would violate their policy.

holy ****, there is a position lower than delivery man? :o

cleaning the toilets, maybe? O_o

I think I'd just find another job, there are plenty of more reasonable employers out there.

He's still following Corporate Pizza Hut rules, or he risks loosing access to the name
