Oh well it's official

Remember this thread

Well it's official now.By March 2nd I turn in my uniform

And I don't think the General Manager realizes how insulting what she said was.She says "Maybe it's just not for you" I found that very insulting as 1)She makes it sound like the job is brain surgery 2)More then half the employees*the one's I've seen* are like 5-10 yrs younger.So apparantly I'm a worse worker then a teenager.There was a woman working there before for 5 yrs,she dropped out of high school.And SHE lasted longer then me Can't help but feel a little insulted

What I really hate is that she used the "It's hard on me to do this" Well of course it is,firing someone who deserves it is the EASIEST thing to do.But if you're firing someone who doesn't deserve it,of course it won't be easy

Apparantly the reason is my speed and my lack of proficiency in the back end.But I was good enough 6 months ago(my last review)so don't see how I could've taken such a turn for the worst.And WITHOUT anyone taking me aside to help me out

I find it ironic that AFTER I firmly state "I'd like to be trained in other areas" that all of a sudden I'm a bad employee

Oh well,thanks to the internet a person can send off over a dozen resumes a week without leaving the house

This is not a bad thing. Fast food is teh suck.

As a restaurant owner I can say if she were in my company, I would fire that mananger. She is incapable of doing her job, because she can not keep her personal feelings out of her decisions (however twisted they may be). She will get what is comming to her in the end. You should have no problems in finding a new job.

EDIT

I was re reading some of your previous posts on this subject and I am even more convinced she is full of it. If there was an employee not meeting standerds I would not wait six months to tell them. I would tell them right away, not only fof their good, but for the good of the company.
From what you said in the previous posts you are meeting the standards of the company. If it states 35-50sec to make a burger, and you do it in 40 sec, you are well within standards. Hell I would want an employee to do that, and if they had a problem I would do whatever in my powers to help them to get to that level.
Also you stated you get to work right away and do not goof around. That kind of dedication will get you far in whatever you choose to do. I wqish all of the people who work for me were like that.

This is the best thing for you. You had been there too long, and you told me over a year ago how much you hated it. Don't let this bruise your ego. The job is beneath you and you know it.

Consider this a blessing, and I'm sure you'll find something much better.

I think we need a running "Shaun_C" thread.



Good luck bud, hope it works out for you.

I’ve read nothing else on this but maybe it cos your older and know its beneath you that you aren’t as good a worker, not to come down on you but some time doing a job that is to menial for your intellect can lead to you acting in way that aren’t liked by an employer, you don’t really know your doing it, its just ways to relieve the stress and boredom you feel. I know I’ve done that at least, maybe look for some thing a little more challenging.

Looks like your not cut out for fast food either. I'd say that's a good thing. lol
You always hear stories from the greats how they say they started in fast food.
Don't feel bad man, working McD's and many other fast food places is alot harder than it seems. Almost have to be a machine with memorizing and tolerating all those special customers (who the world revolves around) can be a real pain in the ass. F all that. I could'nt do it. I tried.
Wish I had a high powered meat launcher!

I've fired myself a few times.

That's my whole gripe with this.Why so long to say something, I mean does a husband/boyfriend wait 6 months that he has a problem with a significant other's attitude.It's the same here

And I'll admit that I have been slower some days then others.But like I said there isn't ONE PERSON on this board who can can that they haven't have had to wait on a McDs order.But I try VERY hard to keep up & IMO that kind of percervierance should be rewarded more then chyded

To me that's just being professional.Maybe I am a bit slower but what about my other qualities I bring.Obviously that doesn't mean much

Judging from the list of Trainers,Team Leaders and Swing Managers.I think honestly my age has something to do with it.Most of the promotions went to people between 17-20

I've stated FLAT OUT "I'm interested in being promoted" but I guess it falls on deaf ears

Ah don't feel that way, people who drop outta high school can be great at stuff, my father never made it past high school and he's the best mechanic i know, atleast for earlier 90s models and earlier, new cars and trucks are POS hehehe.
