treating employees unfairly
Complaint Rating: 
Company information:
davco inc
Perry Hall, Maryland
United States
i am a current wendys employee and i believe that some of our employees are being treated unfairly...first of all, me. i was tld to slice tomatoes one night at about 830 pm for the next morning and i wasnt even nicely asked she just told me i had to and i was in the middle of doing other things so i told her that i wasnt going to to them because i was in the middle of doing things night shift is supposed to do and i didnt feel it was right for me to have to do morning crews job when i wasnt morning crew so my manager sent me home.2 days later i called out because i am pregnant and was having stomach pains and needed to see a doc so she cut my hours for the next 2 weeks... when i told the manager above her she just agreed and said i should have listened to my manager on shift...then next 2 times i worked w// the manager who sent me home she made comments abut how she would make me slice tomatoes one night... so i asked her for corporates number and she told me she wont give it to me because she will get in trouble which tells me it is against policy to slice tomatoes the night before so why am i being penelized for not doing something that i am not supposed to do in the first place...
thats me but there is also a girl i work with who gets 5 hrs a week but wants more and they tell her there are too many people workin to give her more hrs but they hire new employees! she is now being told she doesnt get her hrs because she doesnt do gher job right (no one ever trained her properly to give her a chance) so then she got more hrs next weekend they gave her 4 to close and 5 to close this weekend she asked a fellow employee if she could take her shift the manager on shift ok'd it but as soon as the manager who writes schedule found out she took one of next weeks days away
please some one tell me what we can do about all this!

| i read ur story and sounds like the same over here. my store managers cut peoples hours and hire more people. whats funny is that there's people who work hard for a living and just because he doesn't like them he'll hire other people who are lazy and give them more hours just because they kiss up to him. |

| i just started working at wendy's about 3 weeks ago and everything was going fine...a couple days into my first days of work i started noticing little things that annoyed me..In the employee handbook it states that we get a 30 minute lunch break and a 10 min break for every 4 hour shift worked. So I asked my manager about 4 hours into my shift if i could take my 10 minute break and she said no i only get a 30 minute break...i too am pregnant..almost 5 months now and dont think its right to have to stand for 4 hours straight and not get to sit down for a lousy 10 minutes...also the attitudes of many of the people i work with are rotten and they do not treat people with respect there..i am constantly being harassed..sexually..and the managers are always in there back office talking on their cell phones or talking amongst themselves..but when i sit down for 2 seconds i am told to go find something to do...its just frustrating and on top of all that we dont even get one measly free meal after working a long shift with only 1 break... |

i absolutly agree. ok i worked at wendy's for almost a year till about a while ago. i got fired bc i didnt show up for a shift that i was not on the schedule for. now about a month previously i had walked in on the store manger stealing money and putting it in her purse and i didn't say two words about it till she tries to blame another manager for the money coming up missing. she has hired her daughter in my place{ how convenient that she got a job that she isn't even supposed to have} at out store we are lucky to even get our half hour break and if we asked if we got a break they got mad and said "if i give you a break you'll know"
the only pple that get to keep their job are the pill heads like the manager {also a drunk} and ppl who they have caught on camera fighting with other employees and smoking pot. i still have a couple of friends who work there so thats why i am bieng so vague about this bc i dont want them to lose their jobs. i think the store manager should lose her job for stealing running the store like its her own personal slave factory and hiring her daughter bc the girl doesnt work when she's there and gets every weekend off when the ppl who have kids that work there work 10 - 14 days straight without a day off. i live in a right to work state so there really isnt a whole i can do but i would like to encourage anyone to not go to wendy's in north carolina wadesboro or rockingham . |

| There's a reason I'm leaving that place. the management sucks, I have a 3 min timer on my watch which I hit the second I go offline and I'm always back with 2-3 mins to spare and still get yelled at for taking "too long of a break". No free meal. I gave them completly open availiability when the summer started and they only gave me 25 hours a week, so I started a full time job somewhere else and told them I could only work 20. Now they're all mad at me for limiting my availiability and not working enough. If they don't fire me by the time summer ends I'm quitting adn keeping my new job. |

I know this is a little late and I'm resurrecting an old topic, but I just have to tell my story.
All of these complaints sound very eerily familiar to me. See, I work at a Wendy's in Michigan and all of the same things are going on at the one I work at. I got hired in at my Wendy's at the end of September of last year, and I was told when I hired in that I would have "A little bit of a wait" to get on the schedule. I didn't have a problem with that. I figured "a little bit of a wait" would be maybe a week. Boy, was I wrong! It took them a whole month to get me started, and ever since I've been there I've been getting mostly anywhere from three to five hours a week, and the only thing I ever get to do is wash dishes and mop floors. I have never really been trained or given a fair chance. I asked the manager about a month ago if I was ever going to get any more hours, and I was basically told "no" because I'm not competent enough to be able to handle anything else by myself. (Well, maybe if I was actually TRAINED I might be able to do a better job. DUH!!!) I can't do anything right there. Everything I try to learn I get yelled at for doing. They are only giving me three to five hours a week, and for the longest time I was getting yelled at because I could not remember things, like the right order in which salads are made, what goes on them, and where they go in the coolers once they are made. If I was given the opportunity to come to work more than one or two extremely short shifts a week where I had the chance to do things repeatedly and given some proper training, I might remember stuff!
Another thing I don't understand is how come out of all the places I have worked I have had NOTHING but EXCELLENT reviews, and now all of a sudden I'm a horrible employee?
Oh, and this really burns me up. I have a dentist appointment this Tuesday at 9 AM. Last week I wrote a note to the manager who does the scheduling and I told her about my appointment and I asked her to please not schedule me for Tuesday morning so I could make it to my appointment. I figured it shouldn't be that big of a deal for them to not schedule me for that day, since they've only been giving me two hour shifts anyway. So today I go in to get my schedule for this coming week, and I'll be danged if she didn't schedule me Tuesday morning at the exact same time my appointment is! So I went to the manager today and told her I had a problem with coming to work on Tuesday and explained it to her. I even said that I wrote a note to the manager who does the scheduling about it. She told me the only thing I could do was see if somebody wanted to pick up my hours, which I'm kind of doubting they will, because I'm scheduled from 8 to 10 AM, and it's been my experience that at the Wendy's I work at that nobody wants to work early in the morning like that. So now I have to deal with the headache of finding a replacement, and if I can't find a replacement I'll have to reschedule my dentist appointment. All this big of a headache for something so simple!
I should also mention that with the exception of four people there, the employees there are some of the most unfriendly people I have ever met in my life. I have tried talking to them and being friendly to them, but it's no use. It reminds me of a high school clique, and if you're not part of the "crowd" then you're nothing at all. And they seem to feel the need to pepper every sentence with cuss words, and sometimes very generously. I'll admit that I'm nowhere near perfect, but I very seldom use any of those words, and I think it's really unprofessional to use them that much at work. So I have pretty much resorted to just going in, doing my work, and not really saying anything to anybody unless I have to. There are a few people I talk to, but that's it. One of them is a guy who has worked there just about as long as I have and is getting treated the same way I am with hours and everything else.
I have never had a job before that I disliked so much in my life. There is so much stress there, and it stresses me out on the days I have to be there even before I actually start working. Another thing that's ridiculous is it's actually costing me more to go to work than I'm making there. By the time I get up and get around in the morning, drive there and drive back home, I've spent everything I've made that day. And you want to hear what really sucks? As much as I would love to do it, I can't quit. I'm currently collecting unemployment from my last employer, and I called the Unemployment Office and explained the situation to them that I am having with Wendy's right now and the hours they are giving me, and I told them it's costing me more to go to work than I'm actually making at work. I asked them if I had to keep my job at Wendy's to be able to keep my unemployment benefits, and they told me yes, I have to, because my job at Wendy's is still deemed to be suitable employment to the State Of Michigan! Arrrgh! So I'm stuck there getting at a maximum five hours a week until they either fire me or I find another job, and, as most of you know, there's hardly any jobs in Michigan! |

You work in fast food, and you wanted to call corporate because you were asked to slice tomatoes?
GROW UP! |

| Tired_of_Stupid: I don't think that was the whole point of the post. The point of it is that a lot of there are getting treated crap for no reason at all, and we're sick of it. |

I'm completely horrified by the misspellings and poor grammar by the posters on this board. No wonder you work at Wendy's. I'm surprised you can even fill out a deposit slip at the bank to put money in your savings account.
As "Tired_of_Stupid" stated, "GROW UP!". You are not going to have the plush lovely job you think you deserve, this is life, you must work hard and if that means you must slice tomatoes at night, then sobeit.
boo-who. |
