Because I got pregnant and can no longer do three people jobs. They threatened to lower my pay because they can't justify paying me for the work they've decided I can do. I spent a year learning this position, teaching the new owner, making guides, establishing relationships with suppliers and employees and the literal microsecond I told them I can't be doing my job and two other people's jobs they've cut my hours from 45-50 down to 15. I worked here for five years under the old owner and when he passed away his family asked me to take over, while the others drank their lives away, I fought hard to keep the show going (sober a year). When the others were harassing me because they weren't selected, knowing full well they aren't capable, all I got was a “ThAtS MaNaGeMeNt,” it's not its harassment and it's toxic and it was acceptable to them (new owner) because they weren't working there. Still to this day have not worked a day on the line with these people.
So today I throw in my towel, not only on this place that was once a second home but also this nightmare industry, I've been in since I was 16. 20 years and this is the worst I've ever been treated. Now they have three people doing my job and I just refuse to take it on the nose any longer. POS owes me 50 bucks, because I buy everything we need out of my own pocket and get reimbursed for it. I never received salary or benefits I was promised. They literally fucked me. So Today I'm done. Going in to get the money I'm owed and saying goodbye to my best friends restaurant. What a relief.
