My wife texted me this morning saying she's vomiting and having water-like diarrhea. She works in a grocery store deli. (That's meats and cheese plus other food stuffs, in case someone doesn't know)
Those symptoms should have sent her home as soon as she reported them to her boss at 6 am!! because of food safety regulations. It's now 8:30 am and she's still there working. She's telling me the next shift isn't there till noon.
They close at 7pm and leave by 730pm typically.
She is constantly being scheduled 10+ hours and when she's not scheduled for it, she ends up being asked to anyway.
I told her they should have the closers come in a couple hours early and do 9 hours like she always does (maybe not even that given how early they close). Nope that's not possible. Ok find coverage from another store? Nope.
This company is amazing to their employees, giving bonuses and parties with all kinds of BIG raffle items a few times a year (75 inch tvs, kayaks etc…) but then stuff like this happens and I'm reminded how shitty the system is, even there.
