So I am a restaurant worker and we got a new general manager (like new hire). He had us in a meeting and said we need to hire people at $12/hr because “we are the highest paying store in the company but we aren't bringing in the business to validate it.” Every fast food chain and gas station around is flying banners for $15 starting out and this boomer expects to get people to work harder for less money. There's no one applying for this job as is! I can't do anything to fix this and it aggravates me to no end.
On top of everything, he has been pushing managers to write up people for not getting their shifts covered and build paper trails. We already lost 2 employees because of him and yet we keep hearing get the job done, no overtime.
