Pizza Hut manager says he's no hero for closing on Thanksgiving November 28, 2013 -- Updated 1707 GMT (0107 HKT) NEW: 'I'm just some guy who told his boss 'No' and got burned," says Tony Rohr (CNN) -- It's a slice of life you don't often hear about. Shortly after a manager at a Pizza Hut franchise in Elkhart, Indiana, announced that he was fired for refusing to open on Thanksgiving Day, the company is offering him his job back. Tony Rohr, 28, had worked for the chain for more than 10 years. When he refused to open on Thanksgiving Day this year and force his employees to work, he says, he was told to write a letter of resignation. I said, 'Why can't we be the company that stands up and says we care about your employees and you can have the day off?' Rohr told CNN affiliate WSBT Wednesday. Who wants to work on Thanksgiving? The local franchise told the affiliate that Rohr was not fired, but quit. Now, Pizza Hut's corporate office says the franchise "made a serious error in judgment, one which we hope to help remedy." But Rohr, who was managing some 15 people when he departed, said Thursday that he was not sure he wanted to return to the team. "That's something I can't decide right away," he told CNN in a telephone interview as he prepared to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family -- and without pizza. I'll start looking into stuff tomorrow. He said publicity about the story has spread. "All my friends are telling me how cool it is and how proud they are -- 'You're my hero' and stuff you don't expect to hear," Rohr said. No, I'm just some guy who told his boss 'No' and got burned. There are people who save lives. CNN's Tom Watkins and Jose Lesh contributed to this report.
