Answer 3

i got fired from a job after 2.5 years, because the new manager hired her relatives and gave my hours to them!! one of which is her niece, who is engaged to a convicted drug dealer, of which they both use drugs on the job! i was fired for wanting to tell the cops about them and their drugs!

the manager is also stealing hundreds of dollars in food each week and tried to frame me for it! her thing was ''the week i was on vacation, no food was missing'' which is a huge load of cr@p cos i came in and put the food order away cos the old manager was still there and is short and could put it away.

a few months later the owner laid me off for 2 weeks, just to make sure it wasn't me(even though new years eve, his first words to me were ''you know someone's trying to frame you?'' and then told me about all the missing food, i told him to get more cameras, and where to put them, and he said they were already ordered) while i was gone, the manager and her niece told everyone co-workers and patrons, that i was fired for stealing and that i was steal while putting the food orders away.

of course, food was missing while i was gone that time, so i came back to work, then the manager mad that her plan didnt work only gave 8-12 hours a week, just long enough to put the food order away and hold a sign by the road to try to get more business.

keep in mind, i was the asst. manager!

and if i were stealing, how come i was still putting the orders away after i came back?

the plus side is, that store should be out of business pretty soon! they do not follow health department rules, and they know nothing of customer service!
