Who is this weasel??

[CorbLand]

I disagree if he puts it on his Instagram profile then he is always flying their banner.

He is a representative of the company but he did not go there as a representative of Sitka.

Sitka is going to have to make a statement about this and I hope this guy is canned. All I am saying is that because someone in your organization has an opinion does not mean its a representation of the organization.

He removed the part on his bio about working for Sitka

Interesting how things are being deleted off his profile.. lmao

Did he just get fired??? Sitka reference is GONE.

 

[coop2424]

Especially if it says “Environmental Lead-Sitka” right under his name.

Doesn’t anymore.. haha

I know what you mean and they are in a tough spot. Would you want to be fired by your employer for having a pro gun opinion? The door goes both ways.

And that is why I don’t try to be a poster boy. I’m a nobody and like it that way.

Probably pressured to remove.

While you're right he does have a 1st amendment right, that only applies to prosecution. A company can/should take action if a rogue employee goes against the grain of their foundation. I tell my employees all the time they represent us at and off work...act accordingly. In 2018 it's tough for people to take ownership for their actions. If the NRA had an employee making a video like this I suspect, despite no legal ramifications, they wouldn't be employed long even if on their own time.

I don't neccessarily hope he gets canned. I do know if his employer doesn't do anything then the statement has been made. If he is discharged then we know where they stand also...

good discussion though.

Wonder what BHA will do I always suspected they were quasi anti 2A

Why would they do anything? If they are anti 2nd they sure have and give away a bunch of guns at the rendezvous each year, I've got one of them at my house even.

I don’t own any Sitka but I’m sure they will react reasonably and within employment laws.

He’s an environmental lead, probably not a hard core right winger to start with.

I agree with you. I am mostly making my comment to those that are acting like he went there and did this because Sitka told him to, therefore making Sitka an anti second amendment company.

Wish I had a screenshot of before, his bio looks a lot smaller now.

I don’t just hope he gets fired but demand he be fired before I buy another piece of Sitka gear. I’d hate to have to give up Timberline pants but there’s other options.

I agree to a point but Sitka has many social media representatives, all the people they sponsor and if an employee adds into their profile their place of employment to me they are then representing their employer at all times on that platform. Many Sponsored Individuals of Sitka also liked his post, they represent Sitka on social media as well. So to me he was representing Sitka. So while Sitka probably didn’t tell him to do this he and everyone they sponsor are representing the brand when they use the company name to further their profile or self on social media, I mean who puts their company and title on social media unless they are pushing it for recognition any way.

Be interesting to see if Sitka responds or if they just let this fade with time.

Why don't you ask national or some of the higher ups how they feel about AR15s

 

[Trial153]

He will get shit canned for volition of some local media policy they have. Nobody writes a contact or policy statement nowadays without a clause in if for stuff like this. I don't think anyone with a half of brain would take this as some kind of statement from Sitka gear as being anti 2A. However you can't stop people from spinning things.

Still waiting for Newberg or Jacobson or the other Sitka ambassadors to speak up or do they all agree with what was posted. The post was bad enough but having that douche nozzle that helped get a hunt cancelled was the ultimate slap in the face to hunters and gun owners

 

[deerhunter628]

[email protected] if you would like to inquire with Sitka directly about their representative’s actions.

I don’t think they need to even acknowledge this guy or respond one way or another unless they liked it.

Link is broken and the page gone. Did anyone save it ? This guy shouldn’t get to slink away and save his job.
