Antiwork

Went to Burger King and the manager told the people behind us that they're not taking orders for 15-20 minutes because there were only 3 employees and they were overwhelmed since they hadn't gotten their breaks so the manager decided to basically shut down for 15 minutes. People were arguing with her screaming about what are they supposed to do. The manager just said “go somewhere else or wait. They are entitled to 15 minute breaks and they are taking them. We have enough orders that it will take me 15 minutes to catch up on them alone.” Best supervisor. If I had a supervisor or management that had my back against the abusive customer onslaught I would've kept my job.

I was working 12 hr shifts days and nights revolving with no chance to recuperate. On top of that my commute was getting longer and longer upwards of 3 hrs a day. About 5 months ago I was told that I was going to get a day shift position and the interview was a formality. 2 weeks later they gave it to someone else.
