  • DM Just Made The Wrong Move....

    Well, it finally happened. The DM has been berating and threatening BossMan for years telling him how useless he was and threatening to fire him. I never thought he would ever quit simply because he's been with the company so long and he loved that job. He first started when he was a teenager working at Taco Bell for some extra cash. Now, he is 45 years old with a family and is managing a store. He would always give 120% and, although he could be a jerk at times, he was a good boss who stuck up for his employees and looked out for us. Honestly, some employees have done things that wouldn't fly anywhere else. For example, a coworker of mine is almost always late because he works 3 jobs and cuts it way too close. BossMan let it go because he is a great worker besides that and always gets the job done. Today, I had to stop by work to drop off my doctors note as I have a stretched muscle in my shoulder and was told to take a week off to rest it. The DM was there, but BossMan was strangly calm when he is usually having a freak out session. A few moments after I got home, I got a text from him that was quite obviously sent to the whole store. It read, "today, I resigned as I am unable to deal with this any longer. You were like family to me and I will miss you all very much".

    This translates to, "that fucking bitch has finally threatened me for the last time. I'm sick of her shit and, as much as I love this job and my employees, it isn't worth the stress". Right now, my phone is blowing up with messages from coworkers of mine asking for details, venting their worries and just trying to let it all sink in. I am beyond angry and many of us are afraid of what's to come. Myself and 3 of my coworkers are quitting asap. BossMan was the only reason we stayed and, now that she drove him to resign, we have no reason to stay. Im using my whole week off to find a new job so, hopefully, I can announce that I am putting in my 2 weeks and getting out. Perhaps more to come. I'll keep you all posted....

      It Gets Better...

      I got a call from a coworker who gave the whole story. For those who don't know, fast food drive thru's have time standards they must meet. Our DM kept trying to make us go faster and faster by reducing our times. When I started, our times were 50 and 75. Now, they are 45 and 70. With ours being one of the busiest stores, the times, especially the 45, are difficult to impossible to make. To help improve out times, some employees drive around a few times. This Sunday, a coworker drove around 30 times after close. DM's boss saw this difference between the number of cars and the number of reciepts and called DM telling her to go check it out. DM gets there earlier today and was berating everyone and being a bossy bitch as usual. She got on BossMan's ass saying they we were cheating yadayadayada and he will be fired. Bitch the manager spoke up and informed DM that, "everyone does it so I don't see why only BossMan should go". Wow...way to be a fucking shitstain on the ass of humanity. So this is the true Bitch. She may lose her job so she drags everyone down with her. Throws the whole store under the bus. Bravo. Class A bitchness. Not even bitchness. She is lower than the mayfly guts I scrape off my shoes before I walk in the door who doesn't even deserve to be classed with the other human beings.

      DM hears this and flips out further cussing BossMan out saying he is incompetant, can't run a store, doesn't deserve his job etc. He looked her straight in the eye and said, "I do the best I can for this store! It's you who keeps changing the times and my employees do what they do to help me and this company! I won't give you the pleasure of firing me! I quit!" and that was that. BossMan left never to return. The people on staff that night may be fired, all managers may lose their jobs as well as many other employees. Mr. Dave took over for BossMan, another manager is coming from another store to take his place, myself as well as at least 4 other employees are following BossMan and quitting in the very near future. We are all sick of the DM treating us like garbage and a there is talk of reporting her. More to come as I recieve it....

        What a bunch of BS.

        I can't believe the nerve of some people. There are those of us who have spent years doing what we do, perhaps even enjoy what we do.......and then all it takes is one prick or stupid bitch to come along and attempt to rid the place of everyone, and to succeed......or at least lose several key people......wow, I hope there's some real karma coming the DM's way.

          You might want to see if you can go over DM's head and report her to corporate for her incompetence.

          After all, this is the same dumb twat that keeps complaining that you don't have a belt but can't manage to remember that she's the one that's supposed to supply you with one in the first place, right?

            Incompetent bullies should be reported to Corporate. Corporate has a responsibility to all of its employees, including the front line.

              It may be true that corporate has a responsibility to the front line employees, however chances are their attitude will be that they have 1001 people lining up to replace said employees. In any case, I wish you luck, Kisa. You deserve a lot better than what you're getting.

                Good luck to everyone, Kisa. I lasted three months in management at a Taco Bell, quit without notice, and collected part of my unpaid overtime through the labor commission. Corporate pushed and pushed and pushed. Managers were puking in the parking lot from exhaustion. I would fall asleep sitting up.

                  I wish you the best of luck on the job hunt. That just sucks that your DM is a total bitch and drove BossMan to quit because of all the crap she dishes out at him and your store.

                            Wow, best of luck to you, Kisa, and also to your BossMan and the other employees who are following him and you out the door! And yeah, hope DM gets bit by a rabid karma SOON.

                            Unfortunately, that is true. The thing to hope for is that the good employees keep leaving until only the dregs are left, and even they start doing the revolving-door dance until it becomes virtually impossible to keep the site functioning, thus giving DM an ulcer/nervous breakdown/killer migraines.

                            I'm betting yours isn't the only store she's doing this to, so it may end up being nicely cumulative. And just maybe corporate might start to wonder why all the stores under DM seem to be doing so poorly ... one can but hope.
