Her Awful Boss Forgot Her Own Rules, So She Fired Her Best Employee And The Staff Told Patrons Why When They Asked Where She Was
by Ashley Ashbee
When you have a cold and unjust manager, it’s hard to get through the workday.
But it’s super satisfying when their behavior works against them.
Check out what happened with this case of a tyrannical restaurant.
Boss fires best employee because of my compliance
The owners of the restaurant where I worked constantly barked orders and got mad about even the most petty of details.
One, who I’ll call Karen, yelled at me once because I hadn’t turned all the coffee cups handles so that they were pointing in the same direction.
Karen said that from now on we would keep all big denominations ($50 or more) hidden under the main compartment of the till.
She prepared herself to be satisfied.
From the moment she said it I knew it was another nit-picky rule that she’d forget about straight away, so of course what else should I do but follow orders!
So the next day she did forget, accused my coworker Jessica of stealing the $50 and fired her on the spot!
Jessica had called me from the parking lot to say goodbye. We were both glad she didn’t have to work in that nightmare place anymore.
She enjoyed it for other reasons, too.
Later I helped Karen realize that $50 was exactly where it should be. They’d lost their longest-serving and best employee for no reason.
I made sure to tell our regular customers, who took the time to get to know the staff by name, what had happened when they asked where lovely Jessica had gone.
Many stopped coming in unless it was my shift, having seen the real personalities of the bosses. They tipped the staff more too.
I left after I saved enough money.
Here’s what folks are saying.
Definitely! Even after that, I doubt she’d learn.
I’ve also heard that cocaine is common in this industry. It would explain a lot!
It does! That show stresses me out.
It is. I hope she’s in a happier place now.
These people don’t want to change. They love the tyranny.
Sending good vibes to this girl and Jessica.
I’m sure they found a place to work that values them now.
