Good morning, I have been thinking about this for last 3 weeks. About 3 weeks ago, a store, the store at SW119th & S. Penn in Oklahoma City, had the new manager (will not mention names but you know who she is) fire a 7–8-year employee who had worked himself into management and did everything ever asked of him. You needed a manager to cover another store for a couple of months, he was there, Stay overnight for new freezer installs, yep, was him. Close 4 of the 5 days he worked so none of your other managers had to close, him again. Person, I speak of between your store and others, had close to 20 years in grocery business. This person developed cancer in his lower body a few years back, he would go for treatment and still come to work even though he was tired and might not feel great. He did this time and time again. Step up to early 2025 I think (not sure when got new manager). He had taken couple weeks off for vacation (had earned it). Tried take more time off (again, he had it) but was told couldn't because had already taken off 2 weeks. When he would schedule his sick leave to go do his treatments, said manager would take his sick leave away and make him use a regular day off. This happened over and over again. Step back 3 weeks ago. He was again feeling bad, not able to eat anything, vomiting off and on again and yet, he still came to work. Closed one night when not feeling well and apparently left and employee, not as customer, but an employee in the store (something that has been told has happened a few times in the past). So, what's your manager's decision, let's fire the 8 years, has worked his tail off for us anytime he was asked. Excellent management skills might add. So, what was his illness you ask? His cancer has come back but this time, it's in his brain, but don't worry, you can sleep good at night knowing that in your eyes, you did that right thing. Want to know who I am, I'm his father and the person I speak of is Chris. I'd love to tell the other employees in the store (the ones who loved and respected my son) who you truly are.
Recommendation: stay away
