This is Brian -- I wrote the article. We are closed on Sunday but its not dogmatic in nature. We want to make sure that everyone at Chick-fil-A has a great work/life balance. Occasionally we need to do some work on a Sunday but we try to architect and engineer in a manner that supports business-hours-friendly deployments, or scheduled deployments over night to protect that. This is truly a first-class design consideration. In my 14+ years at Chick-fil-A, I have only worked a handful of Sundays for any reason. Its a tribute to leadership at all levels and a great company culture that values people (and their need for times to rest).

I've always found CFA employees to be kind, courteous, and respectful.

They’re really reasonable about it... you do what you need to do.

That being said, it’s really REALLY nice to mute pagerduty for a whole day every week.

That's irrelevant. Their work generates profits which are used to actively undermine my civil rights.

I happen to agree with the views they have stated in the past. Marriage (defined as being between one man and one woman) is one of the most foundational institutions in the world and is worth defending.

My marriage is just as valid as anyone else’s. And it’s incredily offensive to suggest that my marriage is somehow an attack on marriage itself. Your view is bigotry in an old, familiar form, and can only be defended based on religion, which has no role in limiting civil rights within our secular society.
