This CEO is going viral for stealing from a child at the U.S. Open

"The footage, now viewed by millions, was captured at the U.S. Open in New York City before hitting social media. It shows tennis pro Kamil Majchrzak signing a hat, then handing it to a child. But what would've been an exciting moment for any kid was ruined, as Szczerek quickly snatched the hat away. The child, of course, looked stunned and upset. He can be heard asking the grown-man-child, "What are you doing?" and begging for him to give it back."

"Still, while the kid was visibly upset, and rightfully so, the internet was, unsurprisingly, even more outraged. The almost-unbelievable video quickly made the rounds. It even caught the attention of Kamil Majchrzak, who hadn't noticed that the hat had been snatched from the boy in real time. With the help of the internet, he found the boy and reached out to him and his family. He posted photos to his Instagram stories, which were captured by Today.com, of him with the child over the weekend."

Piotr Szczerek, CEO of Polish paving company Drogbruk, was recorded at the U.S. Open snatching a hat that tennis pro Kamil Majchrzak had signed and handed to a child. The child appeared stunned and pleaded for the hat's return. The video went viral and sparked widespread online outrage. Majchrzak later located the child with help from social media, met him, and posted photos from the meeting. Szczerek issued a public apology saying he unequivocally apologized to the young boy, his family, all the fans, and the player. The incident drew comparisons to another CEO scandal that led to a resignation.
