A Pizza Hut manager who lost his job for refusing to open on Thanksgiving is being offered his position back. Tony Rohr, a Pizza Hut manager in Elkhart, Indiana, was reported to have been offered his job back after his story went viral. The hardworking employee says that he is unsure whether he'd like to return to his previous position, weighing his options carefully before accepting or refusing.

Rohr made headlines when he lost his position as a general manager after not agreeing to open on Thanksgiving. He stood up in front of his bosses and demanded that they let their employees have the day off. Most other Pizza Hut stores in America are closed on Thanksgiving, but not all are required to follow this rule.

After learning of the alleged firing, corporate representatives from Pizza Hut announced that they have spoken to the franchise owner of the branch in question and have requested that they rehire Rohr. They continue by stressing that they did not agree with the franchisee's decision to remain open during the special holiday.

Rohr worked his way up to the Pizza Hut manager position over the course of more than 10 years. When his story broke, many individuals were quick to side with Rohr, admiring his bravery and compassion. Tony is quick to emphasize that he is no hero, citing people who save lives as the real heroes.

The former Pizza Hut manager wrote a letter detailing his disappointment at the owner's insistence not to close on Thanksgiving. Reports say that the franchisee did not fire Rohr, but that he quit after being forced to keep his store open. Whether or not Rohr was forcibly freed from his job, the simple act of defying his superiors for the good of those working under him made him an instant celebrity.
