CEO of Westgate Resorts sends email to employees regarding election

ORLANDO, Fla. – David Siegel, founder and CEO of national timeshare company Westgate Resorts, has reportedly sent an email to his many employees suggesting their jobs may hinge on who will be elected president in November.

Gawker.com posted an article with a copy of the email in which Siegel tells employees, "The economy doesn't currently pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is another 4 years of the same Presidential administration."

Siegel continues in the email, saying although he can't tell employees to vote but, "if any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, as our current President plans, I will have no choice but to reduce the size of this company ... This means fewer jobs, less benefits and certainly less opportunity for everyone."

Siegel's email continues: "So, when you make your decision to vote, ask yourself, which candidate understands the economics of business ownership and who doesn't? Whose policies will endanger your job?"

According to the report, Gawker spoke directly to Siegel and verified the email was authentic. Read more here.
