Month: April 2022

So I had an interview yesterday at Hungry Howie's Pizza and the franchise owner was telling me how he's been working double shifts the past 4 months because “nobody wants to work”. There was absolutely no managers in the store, 5 drivers, and 2 instores. I worked at Papa John's for 13 years so I had plenty experience, and even dealt with an extremely understaffed store in the past, so that didn't really bother me. What DID bother me was when he told me the pay…. This mf offered me $40k/year with no benefits and no bonus plan. We live in an area where the median income is $120k, and I had JUST told him I was making $55-70k at Papa John's. He says “sorry but we aren't in the position to pay that much right now”… I walked right out of the interview, obviously 🤦

Just wanted to share some of the crazy shit this employer did, which were all reasons why I decided to quit. For reference, I’m in my 40s and it’s always been drilled into me that I should always give 2 weeks’ notice. Friendly reminder that NO, no you don’t. The department allowed some people to work 100% remote but everyone else was “hybrid”. The company defines hybrid as “in office up to 5 days per week” (LOL) but for the most part it was 3 required days in office per week. So even though you might be doing the same exact job as your coworker, one of you is at home and the other is in the office most of the week. There was no clear rhyme or reason for why some folks were remote and others weren’t. Every time I asked about it, I was told some gibberish about…

Bitch you do it??? You’re the manager?? Where tf did this trend come from of managers getting the one calling out to find coverage? What if we’re sick? Or have an emergency? You’re the manager my guy, manage.
