I gave my heart and soul to the fast food industry for almost 9 years. A month ago my assistant decides to cuss me out in front of customers (F bombs and all). Since I wasn't allowed to reprimand him without my supervisor's permission I went to her about it. Her reply..."I don't think a reprimand is warranted". WTF!!!! Two years ago he got into it with a manager lower than him in the same manner. She got suspended, he got nothing. I told my boss that I couldn't run a store in which my assistant could do what ever he wanted .
Three weeks ago tomorrow I get called in on my day off for a meeting with the owner. I figure maybe something is going to finally happen to this guy. His first words to me.."I accept your resignation". WTF!!! I look to my supervisor and say "What the heck is this about?!" She replies "You said you couldn't work with him and wanted to quit". I replied to her, "I only asked for him to be reprimanded for cussing me out in front of customers." She looks to the owner and says "I don't recall having that conversation."
To top it off I file for unemployment. It gets denied because the company says I quit. So I appeal it. Waiting to hear about that. Good point they gave me a 2 week severance. I will get my last check this week.
Silver lining is this. I went to open job interviews today. I got hired as long as I make it through the next 3 days of training. My base salary will be almost double what I made as a store manager BEFORE commission. So I got paid to sleep in for 3 weeks and start a new higher paying job 3 weeks to the day.
