I'm a manager at a smaller business, they have like 5 stores. Anyways, they have been forcing us to cut employees hours left and right, and making us fill in the gaps because we are salary, so of course. This has lead to some employees quitting at locations, because they don't have enough money to live anymore.
Cut to the other day, one of those effected employees had to open a store, and they didn't have enough gas. My GM used their company gas card to get them enough to get to and from work til payday, just like two days, to keep the store running, and making us money.
Company fired her for “theft.”
I'm livid. This woman was a great manager, and when I moved into her position, she was an even better GM, constantly pushing back on their bad decisions that would hurt our store and employees.
I am convinced it's not about “theft” and is straight retaliation for having the stones to speak her mind on the bad decisions our company is making lately. A store manager that they like straight up stole several hundreds of dollars in deposits, and is still working for our company.
Sounds like they are real concerned about theft, right?
I'm fucking fed up, I want my employees and the other store employees to unionize, and grab these MFs by their balls.
How do I help them do it?
