The Pizza Time owner in Lacy, Washington, found that employees had left the heat on overnight, so the next day when they came in, there was no heat. Sean’s original post included the note posted by the Pizza Time owner:

“If you don’t want to work here quit, otherwise shut up and do your job. The next person I hear complaining is off for two weeks. We don’t have heat!! You guys screwed up, not us. You want to blame someone, look in the mirror.”

The Pizza Time employees went to the local TV station and told their story. And got fired.

OK, so maybe he doesn’t win Entrepreneur of the Year for Lacy, Washington.  But maybe he was frustrated because his employees were not following his orders to turn down the heat when they left.  And maybe his frustration got the better of him.  Watch the video of the news story on King 5 to hear the employee and the boss.  Read Sean’s posts and let me know what you think.  I put up a Poll if you want to vote there.
