I was working at BK as a manager. I started as a regular crew member. When i first joined there was issues risen at my interview. The store manager said there were “compilations that led to the resignation of multiple employees. It seemed off putting but i was in dire need for money. In my time i experienced-
-One man had a broken back and was still told to work like he was a slave.
-My store manager was then caught making fun of female workers appearances. He was almost sued but they simply just moved on.
-The store manager refused to buy new fryers or equipment to make our job easier despite us making the most money in the district.
-The store manger also made me do jobs outside my job application and made me change out the letters on the outside sign board???
-We were next to a highway so our sales were ridiculously packed and we were ALWAYS understaffed.
-The store manager randomly promoted almost everyone to store manager to get everyone to stay.
The JUICY PART:
One day, 3 months after being promoted to manager, i was assigned to a 11-8pm shift. My shift consisted of everyone being new recruits. I was handling front cash. There was one other helping me and two in the back cooking and prep. They all didnt know what they were doing. It was on a friday and it was packed to hell. People were asking me multiple things and orders were being piled and piled up, people in the drive-thru were so petty and asking for minor fixes to their order as messed up by the coworkers, my coworkers were extremely slow and clueless. There were still things needed to be done as i was asked to do. I broke. I was having an anxiety attack,which led to me passing out, which then led me to having a seizure.now im 3,000$ in debt for laying on a bed at the hospital and getting a scan on my brain. From this day i always tip $20 to fastfood workers and let them take their time. I will never work at a fast food again even if im on the verge of being homeless. I would rather die as i almost did. I could say im traumatized and now suffer from extreme anxiety randomly i cannot control. Capitalism and the fast food industries is the scariest shit i have ever come across. $800/2 weeks is not worth.
