Chick-Fil-A's engineering office is in middle of nowhere south Atlanta. You either have a long commute from midtown and above or you're living in some sketchy neighborhoods.

According to this article[0], they have trouble retaining employees, because their office location is so bad.

Most Chick-Fil-A employees are probably not engineers.

Which is why the comparison is pointless.

No, nothing in the article says that.

> The decisions are based on the battle to recruit and retain top talent. More of those companies are moving to the Beltline.

The fourth paragraph.

Less directly, they quote a spokeperson:

> This new office space will allow us to grow while inspiring new and existing talent Christina Coleman, director of campus planning and operations for Chick-fil-A

> Basically you're saying people shouldn't work there because they'd have to live around poor blacks instead of high rise condos with rich whites.

> South ATL isn't all bad but your implied racism is.

He didn't say anything racist! This is a baseless attack.

I wouldn't want to live or work in college park either. It has one of the highest violent crime rates in the entire state [1].

The parent poster even mentioned working around midtown, which is incredibly diverse.

Don't be like this. It's harmful to our community. Even if you did think he was racist, there are better ways to approach the issue than with venom.

You don't even know this person's race anyway. Way to assume.
