Chipotle Scandal

Isaac Wooten

In this story Chipotle worker named James Kennedy didn’t say anything mean, but he said some things about the Chipotle wages being too low. He posted,"@ChipotleTweets, nothing is free, only cheap #labor. Crew members make only $8.50hr how much is that steak bowl really?” After a supervisor showed him the social media policy, he immediately deleted the post. He was fired after other complaints. Kennedy sued Chipotle  for wrongfully firing him. Luckily the court was on the side of Kennedy. After that situation James Kennedy he didn’t have a job at Chipotle but now has a job at American Airlines. This shows signs of just about all three categories (Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control), mostly shows Immediacy because in the article unknowingly he posted a tweet about the restaurant and was not thinking about the consequences that might actually occur which led to his boss finding out rather quickly. Once informed he immediately deleted the tweet. Once on the internet it is never really gone because it leave residue when deleted, where you can always find it. I tell you that because it shows Permanence and how nothing is completely 100% deleted from the internet. It was Lack of control because once it happen he had no idea it would turn out this well. He basically got paid all the wages he was owed, won the court against Chipotle and got a great paying job at American Airlines. All three thing can either really help someone out in life on the internet or really punish somebody one the internet. All I can say is he needs to be a lot more careful with what he posts on the internet and learn to keep certain thing to themselves. This time it worked out for him but for most of the time it won’t end up like that.
