Main Cast: GM (general manager), SM (Shitty manager), FC (Favorite Coworker).
So, i went back to my shitty job for a second summer job and have been thinking about just keeping it because the money is nice. Well, not anymore. I walked in yesterday for my shift, thinking it'd be another boring day. About 5 minutes into my shift, FC walks back to the walk-in where everyone is and starts saying bye to everyone, clearly upset.
I ask whats going on and they said they're leaving. I just asked for a hug because I didn't know how to process it. After they leave, i asked why they left and couldn't believe what i heard.
SM asked FC to bartend on 4th of July, practically begging. FC tried to get out of it because they were supposed to have their kiddo that they share custody with their ex wife and really wanted that time with him. But they ended up taking it anyway because everyone else said no.
Well, obviously they were gonna complain. Working on a dead holiday, making no money, all while they were supposed to have their kiddo, you'd complain. SM ended up telling GM and GM decided that an appropriate punishment for complaining was taking away all of FC shifts this week, leaving them with almost nothing.
Everyone is pissed. FC was everyone's favorite person. They were also the best server/bartender in the damn place with their sales reaching almost double everyone elses every shift.
