I am an assistant manager for a fairly large mechanic/shop chain, and past week I denied the CEOs daughter an oil change (keep in mind I had no idea who she was) because we were busy, and now I’ve been given an ultimatum to move back to the shop, or no longer have employment with this company.
Not 10-20 minutes after she left, I received a call from the CFO telling me that the CEOs daughter deserves “special treatment” and I told him ‘I don’t really think so.’ He then told me that no matter what we have got to take care of her, to which I replied, “Don’t worry about it, I’ll push the paying customers’ appointments away to make room for her.”
One week later my manager tells me that that I either have to take a pay cut and move back into the shop, or I no longer work for this company, effective in 7 days.
What is everyone’s opinion of this, what I should do next? I’ve all but agreed to move back to the shop, but just to literally pay off all my equipment.
