So my gf has been working for this guy for about 4 months now. I remember the night before she started he called her and went on a rant about how working for him and at his business is an honor etc. he is strict blah blah blah and she would make a lot of money. From the start I haven’t liked this guy. She comes home and he texts her recipes that she messed up by not adding avocado on this ticket and it cost him money etc. and will send multiple texts in a row scolding her. Or the last 2 months she has been working 6 days a week. She is exhausted, and multiple times I have asked if she could put in time off a couple of weeks in advance so we can do something and she is scared because he never grants people time off apparently. Here is the kicker! His daughter works for him and regularly calls off the day of her shift or gets multiple days off in a row, something that nobody else gets the pleasure of.
Just got a text from her that she asked him for next monday off because she is exhausted. Apparently he went off on her and told her that it is unacceptable, he needs her and won’t give her the day off. She said she told him she feels like she is being taking advantage of, and he started yelling at her in front of customers and told her she is welcomed to quit. I’m fighting every urge to go down there and tell him he is a piece of shit and that if that’s how he feels to fire her (so she can at least collect unemployment) I told her he told her to quit because he wants to be off the hook.. it is so frustrating that this is what she has to go through. We are trying to save money to move into a new house. So I don’t know what to do. I can’t afford everything on my own, but hate that she has to deal with this asshole.
