Eight employees at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Florida were fired after they were seen dancing provocatively in a viral video.

The video showed the workers dancing in their red and black uniforms with name badges visible. The video was captioned: “My CFA crew better than yours.”

The employee who posted the video under the TikTok handle @lland1n, later said everyone involved had consented to the video recording. She said the video was recorded after their shift had ended and no customers were in the restaurant. Chairs were stacked neatly on the tables in the background of the video.

However, the franchise owner said the video violated Chick-fil-A’s morality standards and code of conduct. The owner added each employee to a group chat and informed them they were fired and to turn in their uniforms.

The mass firings sparked debates about corporate overreach and freedom of expression in the workplace.

No official corporate statement has been issued.

Chick-fil-A’s website says the corporation provides “a strong and caring culture [that] is essential to employee success and fulfillment in their careers.”
