Wendy’s review: treating employees unfairly 173

Iwas working at a wendys and I told a guy to kiss my ### because he was so mean and he threatened me witha meat scrapper

i ate only a baked potato and a salad later that day i was vomitting up everything violently and pooping like crazy. 3 days later i couldnt move went to doc and temp was 103 and i miss almost a week of a job i just started they are nasty and need to be watched more closely the ppl are rude dont speak any english and uncook overcook and its just nasty

I have worked at wendys for two years. I make the sandwhiches I am very good at what i do. They hired another girl and now she is working everyday that i am and pushing me from my position. I asked my manager if the could add me another day to my schedule. They did not but this girl has only worked here about two months and is getting more hours. I dont know wht at to do or who to talk to becasue this seems unfair to me.

On May 02, 2011 @ 9:30pm, I was treated as an animal, no customer service and disrespectful language used by the staff towards me.

On Friday 4/22/11 I bought some chili and I recieved it cold and it was not even fully cooked. I found out later that the person in charge of taking orders was not taking them correctly . The mananger in charge was named Joe and he did not even care what was happening.

frequented 4 times in last 6 weeks and each time something has been wrong-change and/or actual order. i would just like someone who can understand me! and get things right!

I have a question

I know this lady that wants to work in wendys but her daughter who is a manager at Wendy's says she can't work in the same wendys because she is a manager but her boyfriend works there with her and so at the beginning when he started working they were acting like they aren't together but since the gym notice and she was cool about it so my question is can the lady work at the same wendys as her daughters although her daughter is a manager

I quit a few months ago. I took my shirt and hat off and walked out on them. I worked at the one in cedar springs Michigan.Very unprofessional. constant drama amongst the shift managers, treated employees like crap and gave crappy hours. Was told I was going to become crew leader within a month of working there. why?! because I worked my butt off and learned every single thing I needed to know there. One of the shift managers did not like me so she ran her mouth to the main boss and boom I never got my promotion. Very immature! Then I was sexually harassed and they never dealt with it properly. They did a huddle and that was it and the guy still harassed me and many others. Managers constantly eating right out of the fry baskets and dipping chicken nuggets in mayo, touching dirty stuff and making sandwiches. Making me do most the work there as if I was already a manager while they sat in the office on their fat lazy butts eating and playing on their phones. I still haven't gotten my last check because they claim I never turned in my "uniform".. I can go on and on about everything that goes down in that place!

I am an employee at Wendy's, as well. And I don't know what can be done about your supervisor. I don't know even know what to do about my own situation, which is very similar to yours. I work for an ### of a manager, too, sooooo. I can totally understand and sympathize with you. But, I am not even working 5 hours a week. And, I Don't even want to work any more hours than- that-either. Because, I am not comfortable with working my job. Because of jacked-up hours and not really being fully-aware or informed about how to do the job. In other words, I, too, have not been "properly trained". There is a lack of proper any and everything, in this restaurant where I work.

Conceding,
Lack Of On The Job Trained & Orientation

I have same problem over hear people get to manager and thay dont do there job thay just bark orders and have you do your job plus other peoples jobs if im doing more than one job I should get the pay as well and people who are managers treat people like crap I only have one manager that I like the others are mean

Some of you jerks ###s are really saying ugly mean things, but you don't understand that at least they are trying to work, while some of are silver spoon spoiled ### heads that either live off the government or parents. Give them a break, these days to get a job is hard, so your freakin need to do a reality check cause you jerks probably don't have an education or got a job cause someone allowed your stupidity to get a job! Remember your not God, you cannot judge, you do not support any of them, you do not live with any of them, you do not buy nothing for them, don't know them, SO PLEASE ZIP YOUR UGLY MOUTH, because you will not be blessed or looked at when the pearly gates await for you, the gate will say no trespassing, no entry, because no haters are not allowed in heaven for bad mouth, judges that aren't God. I will pray for you, you better start seeking to repent, forgiveness, apologize to them, READ THE BIBLE!

Please all of you go to the department of equal employment opportunity center. This is discrimination and harassment. This is a federal case now. They cannot treat any of you like this. You are humans and not animals. You can go to your local department of workforce department of labor or go one online and report it. You are all being abused and treated horribly none of you should tolerate . Go to library ask for website, or do www.eeoc.gov and look for the prompt that says file complaint. With so many complaints this can become a class action lawsuit in court, even though several of you live in different states. Good luck !

Nick,

Did you report your complaint to the speak out line? That is where they will need to go.

In a follow-up to my recent conversation with employee issues and consumer relations, I would like to express my disappoinment with Wendy's. I have requested that a follow-up be done, but I have not heard anything. I would like to express another problem. I am owed back-pay and would like this resolved soon before I take legal action. As a former manager I know a lot about what makes a store operate. I am not playing games and hope you take this serious. I like Wendy's but if Wendy's cannot treat its employees right I will take matters into my own hands. I have proof of such injustices and can provide testimonial truth as to the accounts of mine. Please email me or call me for further transparency. Again, I would like to work at Wendy's again, but there are a few issues that need resolved along the way.

Hello Wendy's,

I am writing this as I only intend for the best. This new corporate location has a slew of problems. As a former supervisor at this location I know first hand. I have wrote a review on Yelp and am sending you the same information. The problem with this store is that the management is all family. Jamie needs to be sent to another store as she would be the most qualified to run one in the area. Another problem is that the managers tend to sit in the office all day and talk which is not good at all. The store needs a management shakeup and many will agree with me. I have worked for Wendy's for seven years of which about four have been in management. I know a lot about what makes this store tick and would appreciate someone following up with me. I now am a food service supervisor for the University of Illinois and have expressed my idea that if things change at the store I would be willing to work there, but only for mornings and only if a breakfast menu is added. I am now working on my MBA as it is a 26 month program at the U of I so I will likely have some free time.

Customer Service at window Winchester @Hackscross worst I ever seen every employee.

Incorrect order, was given a combo meal single with cheese but NO CHEESE, charged incorrectly.

They gave me cold fries n mixed my hi-c with pop it was horrible...

I have worked at Wendy's for 4 years now. I started at 16 at the Wendy's in White pine, TN. It was actually a great store, mainly because it was a training store and employees had to do the right thing 24/7. I didn't get enough hours so I ended up quitting after about 8 months. Now I currently work at a different location closer to my house and I get 40 hours a week (it's summer time so it's perfect.) Anyways, getting to the point: The Wendy's I've currently worked at for 3 1/2 years: We have 5 people that are still there that were there when I first started myself included. We have NEVER gotten a raise. Still getting paid 7.25 after THREE years. I know how to do everything because Wendy's is pretty much my life and college. The air conditioner/heater have been broken BEFORE I started working there in 2011 because corporate doesn't care about the employees. So everyday this summer we have checked the temp. Everywhere on the sand which station, back hole, front hole, etc. And it was 105 degrees in the sand which station alone. Why? Because that's broken too. Wendy's does NOT care about their stores or their employees. Dave Thomas would turn in his grave if he was able to read all of these awful things, let alone see them actually happening. I love my job, but I've found another one after three years because I'm tired of going to a place that has no AC during the summer, no heat during the winter, still getting paid 7.25 an hour. When is corporate ever going to step in? Probably never.

Can anyone tell me what Wendy's work rules are per the Employee Handbook? My son recently started work there, & stated he's entitled to a single meal break. However, on his third day, he was scheduled to work a ten hour shift-7am-5pm. He arrived on time & did the prep work for the day before the store opened. He was then told to take his one allotted break at 8:18-not even an hour & a half into his shift & was expected to work the balance of his shift-8:48am-5pm-without additional breaks. It's my understanding that working 8+ hours without a break violates labor laws. I thought on a 10 hour shift workers are allowed a meal break plus additional paid breaks for every 4 hours worked. He'd asked for the Employee Handbook when hired but was not granted one. Personally, & from experience working a10 hour day, I'm granted one 30 minute meal break & three 10-15 minute paid breaks during my work day. He was granted an additional break-but told it was unpaid. How can anyone expect an employee to work a full eight hours without a break? Can someone please let me know? I spoke with his manager on duty & found she's not only rude, but was quickly trying to dig herself out of a hole of conflicting answers to me about this. She also spoke Spanish & very poor English. My son & I both had difficulty understanding her. This is certainly not what was expected from employment-especially to a minor. Is he not entitled to the Employee Handbook? It's the only way to target Wendy's work rules. Other than that-labor laws vary, but states clearly employees are entitled to additional breaks. There's no reason anyone should have to take their single break less than two hours into their shift & be expected to work what other employees are (a full 8 hour shift) without a break. Please respond with any helpful input.

Damn. I was surprised to see this! I work at Wendy's also (obviously), and all the managers are really nice! My other co-workers are, also. I'm still a minor and I get more hours than some adults who commented on this. This really has shown me how lucky I am to work at a Wendy's that actually has friendly employees. We don't have any cliques, as I recall someone mentioning, no sexual harassment, nothing of the sorts. The Wendy's I work at is great. It does royally piss me off that people who work at other Wendy's locations get treated like this, though.

I work at Wendy's in Albuquerque, NM and I've been there a year and a half now. When I found out I was pregnant with my third child, I was being called a [censored] and loose. At 4 months pregnant another worker there, that has a problem with me (not sure why) hit me in the back in front of my GM's boss and no actions were taken. I asked to talk to my GM when lunch rush was over, I explained everything that was going on with this co-worker and I got yelled at for being rude. I've been busting my butt this whole time and when i went into labor early because of complications several workers and a manager were very disrespectful saying I was lazy and hoped my child didn't make it and never had to see my pathetic face again. I brought this up with my bosses boss and he was mortified and said he was going to handle it. I know it's stupid but ended up going back after 6 weeks and now being treated worse than ever. The manager and a few of the workers are saying that I opened my legs to every guy there and all around Albuquerque all because my son is white and blonde like me instead of like his sisters and dad ( they're dad is hispanic) and I really don't know what I did to be so disrespected. Now I close more than normal because workers are quitting and leaving with no notice like crazy and on a Sunday night was so disgusted with the conversation I was stuck listening to on the headset about sex, porn and how my co-workers and manager wanted a customer to come back so they can rub they're faces in her chest and do things with her. I guess that's what happens when you work with 4 guys on a Sunday night and your the only female there.

Um, you don't actually pay for the condiments on your sandwiches, so your complaint is pretty stupid.
I work at Wendy's and you do not have to pay for the little dipping sauces or any condiment to be added to your sandwich unless it's cheese, bacon, or an extra patty.

Check your order before leaving, and I'm guessing you went in and yelled at the cashier that had absolutely nothing to do with the mix-up.
People do that ALL the time, it's the sandwich maker that 9/10 is the goof up, and people come in and scream at the cashier for the mistake.

Hello, 'm an ex-employee that was let go on today just because i step off line for two minutes to ask my family to order something before they leave the store.The manager from day one that we have worked together has never responed to anything I've asked here. Now on the day that her and i worked together again this time with another manager she maid a statement she always answer me when we work together which is untrue if the camera were look at the day's we worked together you would see that i'm right or if the day's i worked with this manager the audio is replayed it will show i'm telling the truth this store is in bad condition from the front to the back it is unhealthy to eat at and managers are not doing their job i feel that i was juged by my charater an not given a chance i was not given a virbal waring nor was i written up i was just straight up fired which i feel is and was unfair on this general manager.i was told by him that he was going to call me and let me know what the out come is going to be but i had to call on three different times for him to call me

On January 27, 2014 I got a family pack of chili and had some at 3:30pm. By 10:30, I had severe stomach cramps, low fever, urgent diarrhea and vomiting that lasted 6 hours. I lost 4 pounds of fluid. The chili was the only food the rest of my family didn't have that day.

Working for Wendys absolutly sucks! I work at a Wendys in Jennings, Louisiana. I am constantly being picked on by one of our female managers boy toys that works with us. He is always talking very rudely to me and trying to get the other employes to do the same. He comes to work and just sits around and ###s with the manager that he is messing around with. No matter how good of a job I do, it seems my workis never good enough! The managers are not able to give us any real structure or piece of mind working there. They take up for the people who kiss their ### or the ones who they are sleeping with at the moment. ( what a shame )! It doesnt pay to complain about anything to the head management because she takes up for the store managers. We are always wrong and I feel like our complaints are always going unheard. We are lucky if we get one 5 minute brake our whole shift. rather that shift be 3 or 10 hours. I am 4 months pregnant and I never get a brake to eat lunch or diner. This makes absolutly no since to me what so ever. I thought because of Dave this would be a really good company to work for but with the idiot management and the lazy co-workers I have at work I think that Dave would be terribly disappointed! Get off yor ### and quit worrying about your little boyfriends and come up with some real structure and management skills to make Wendys a much better place of employment.

When I was at my local Wendy's, I ordered a son of baconator with fries and honey mustard. I never actually got the honey mustard that I paid for, and I was so disappointed until my mom finally gave me some home made ranch for my fries.

I am a current employee working at Wendy's. There are so many things wrong. When we get busy, our sandwich maker gets too overwhelmed and randomly leaves his station. There have been many occasions where I would take orders and run back there to make the food. Every time I get put on sandwiches I have it out before they finish ordering it, but of course grill person is never doing their job. Every time I point out a mistake while someone's making a burger they say "well that's why you don't eat at wendys" and continues to leave it wrong. Every time a customer is screaming at my manager, he just walks way and I have to play manager and try and fix everything. I've gotten many compliments for actually caring like normal employees should but their excuse is "I don't get paid enough to care". You have the job and you should care. I'm 18 in college making 7.25 but that 7.25 is for doing my job right, not to be a slacker. Every time I need help, nobody helps me. My drawer was 32 dollars short only to find out my manager stole it. I always found myself doing morning shifts job when I was a closer because I was told to. I got wrote up for the 32 dollars short and my manager asked random employees to sign as a witnesa. Luckily my coworkers aren't stupid and wanted nothing to do with it, one even offered to help pay it off but I refused. This job kills me but I have bills to pay until I'm done with school. I can't wait to have a decent jov

Visited the new Wendys on Boardwalk in Lexington Kentucky. I have nothing against spanish culture but I believe that if someone is going to work in the public they should be able to speak the language. I could not even get ketchup with my meal and the manager could not understand my request.

stopped at the wendys in lebanon ohio, ordered 2 double stackers 2 fries and plain chichen nuggets, they gave us spicy chicken nuggets and i cannot eat those things they are nasty to me. the fries were ice cold and the burgers were cold and dried out, we got these to go and when we got back to the car we did not hqave time to go back in. it was the worst service we hav e received in a very long time. Dee,

the service is lousy and not nearly enough people employees there, and the people that do work there shouldn't. if you know your going to be busy then get more people working there. My family and I won't be coming back. Poor wendy's service everywhere we went.

My two daughters went in to place a to go order, ( 2 chicken combos ) While i waited outside in our car, Finally walked in after 15 mins of them placing their order, My girls are 13 and 14yrs old so they basically weren't given the time of day. The Blonde cashier was VERY rude to them and me when I walked in. I told her nicely its been a good 20 mins by now, and she replied I told them it would be a long time, What is this girl thinking?She talked to me like i was a dog, UNREAL! Long story short we got the order 28mins after placing the order with only one other customer in the whole place, i Ask the manager what his name was and he rolled his eyes, Looked at his name tag and It was Marcus night manager, He didn't even say sorry or anything, This is not like the wendys we've been enjoying over the years thats for sure. I will never go back to that location on 22hd street in Va Beach, and I will do my best to keep all other locals away from that location.., They need a new Staff thats for sure...

My husband got me into that habit, and it is a good one to get into. Many times the order is wrong. Save yourself gas and drama and check your bag when you.receive it.

I been working at Wendy's for two weeks, and my car just got towed on the day i was suppose to go to work in Rosenberg TX. So i called my job and told my co manager that i wouldn't be able to come to work until tomorrow because my car got towed. And she tells me to catch the bus to work, and I told her that there are no buses that run down here because i work in Houston and the buses run down there. So she yells on the phone and tells me well you better find a way to get close to the bus stop n catch the bus here now. Then hangs up in my face. So i didn't go to work that Saturday, my question is can they fire me because that will be my first write up, and I know u get three.can they fire me?

I am a work at Wendy's to and I agree with most people who complain here that we the workers are being unfairly. For I have work for 7 years and i have deal with many managers. I have deal with managers who get away with anything. I have deal with managers who I have tell me to give away counterfeit 20 dollar bills manager who hate/dislike there jobs and tell the employees that they don't feel like working because they don't won't to get stress even if its just an easy job to put the fries away in the frig. Managers who goes to work and do nothing but play around wile the employees do the work. Even managers who tell the employees to go on break and go back to work because it was busy and the 1/2hr break time is not up yet and been told a lie that they have been clock in to go back to work. I also have been told that family and not dating code workers when I have seen managers with family who with just different last name work at Wendy's as Managers and employees. I don't know why Wendy's does not make a back round check. I am still at Wendy's and I don't way they would make some of there employees become managers and think that they are all that and think they can get away with anything. I have 2 at the Wendy's I work at mangers not teaching the new employees the right way to do things and then when end up writing the employees up when they did not know what they did wrong. When managers who gets in a mad mood who get to yell and cuss at the employees when they did nothing wrong/dislike them. I still have to deal with managers who think because he is a boss of me I own him things. Like because I know how to make Chinese food and know were to shop for Chinese candy I have to give him Chinese food and candy because he is my manager and I have to give him stuff when he ask for it. Like because he a manager I give him stuff if I like it or not and being a manager are never wrong. Just yesterday I was send back home early because I told him screw you because he told me to take orders when there was only two people in line waiting to take their order when I saw the dining room was a mess and I was not the only catcher at front. At the time I was done taking orders and when I ask the next group of people if I can help them they say they were in the group and the other catcher has gotten them so I took the chance to look at the dining room to see if needed a cleaning and it did. I took the chance to go to the back of the kitchen to find the items I need to clean the dining room and my manager told me to take orders with out looking at the front to see what is going on. I told him that the other catcher has it and the dining room is a total mess and need a clean before any one complain about it. The manager told me that he is my boss and I have to do what ever he says because he is the boss( real maturer, for what he say it was childish) So I told him screw you and I end up getting send home just because I was trying to do some thing right and stop people from complying. That is also the same manager who keep asking me for stuff like I own him something and just because he has for it I have to give it to him. what kind of management is that? You tell me, so if my manager wont my house and car I have to give it to he because he the manager and he ask for them? I swear Wendy's really need to see and check what kind of people they are herring for management because the ones they have now already think they have the power over their heads.

I am surprise to see that so many Wendy's employees have the same problems. I was under the impression the situations, like the ones stated above, only occur at my Wendy's. After extensive research and testimonials of similar situations, I have come to the conclusion that every Wendy's(that I know of), and perhaps every fast food restaurant, are the same way just with different individuals and slyly different situations that tailor to those individuals. Now that I know this, my eyes have open up. I have made the decision that if I don't want to keep taking the humiliations, unfairness, jealousy and every other negative component of the job, then I have to move on. I have to make something of myself. Do something with my life and get a better job with more rights and fairness on which I am not taken advantage of. We all should aspire for greatness or at least fairness, which in Wendy's I don't think is ever going to happen.

These stories are nothing new. Same crap is going on at the stores I work at.
I currently work at a Wendys in Manchester, CT.
The crap at Wendys that I had to put up with:
-sexually harassed check Thank God I got him to back off, if I he didn't stop I would have sued him and the company for everything they got
-not getting along with certain employees check
-nothing I do is ever good enough check
-they cut my hours check, thanks to college they only give me 3 hours a week no more no less
-since I'm not a manager's favorite I'm definitely screwed out of more hours and respect for who I am and my work ethic
things are so bad between me and upper management I had to call equal employment opportunity commission on them because I was given a bad reference. Now they and myself are looking forward to the day I can afford to quit.
I swear once I quit and work somewhere else I'm never ever eating Wendys ever again. Why support something that has been nothing but a thorn on my side? Besides I rather eat at a real restaurant like Gordan Ramsey's Maze Grill in New York or Main Fish Market in East Windsor, CT!

I work at a Wendy's in Florida, it may be spring break, but we are having to work 10 hours straight with no break. I haven't had a day off since at least march 4, 2013, i don't have a day off the rest of this week..i don't know what my schedule is next week, but my schedule is 10am-8pm, and what makes matters worse is we really cant eat
