Advice on how to handle situation
So my situation is I'm a level 2 casual trying to get a level 3 contract full time (already working full time hours). In order to do so my direct manager and floor manager need to sign me off on training. I have done all my training and have been doing the amount of work for 4 people. There is just one single thing that I wanted to be reminded about before saying I was fully competent in it. I've been asking my direct manager and my boss all year to do my training so I can be signed off and done, however my manager is refusing to sign off.

After only a week or so later, I moved in temporarily with my sister in another city, and worked at another branch of the same fast food place. Because it was owned by the same franchising business (they own a ton of different restaurants throughout the Midwest), I was already in the system at my pay rate and they never changed it, so I was making more than the managers. The GM also gets a big bonus if enough customers filled out the survey, so as incentive she said that for every 10 surveys we get customers to fill out in two weeks, we’ll get a $50 bonus. So every customer who came through the drive thru I’d write…
