I work at a fast food chain. I’m going to use they/them pronouns to keep it as anonymous as possible.
MY GM (general manager) is essentially my boss, and they’ve managed to give themselves thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and New Year’s weekend off (Fri-sun). Now we only have two AMs (assistant managers), and we are supposed to have 2 managers at work at per day. So our AMs are being forced to work every holiday because my GM wants them off. I also heard that one of our AMs requested the New Years weekend off, but our GM decided to deny it so they could take it off instead.
For outside context, the GM almost never opens, closes, or covers for people, they makes the AMs cover. The GM also doesn’t work weekends very often (maybe once or twice a month), even though in our chain managers are only supposed to get one weekend off per month.
All my other coworkers are great to work with, especially my AMs, but my GM constantly reminds me how awful capitalism/not having a union is.
