“Promoted”
I work with this woman who should have been fired over a year ago, based on the company’s policies. She was hired by her friend (surprise) and quickly figured out she doesn’t have to do anything because of it. We work in express restaurant, so lots of rules for good reason.
Just in the past 6 months she has caused multiple customers to complain about her specifically on surveys, caused other customers to call corporate to complain about her rudeness, broke a fryer, two thermometers, a sink, and 4 knives, opened the store with no paper towels or sanitizer (huge no no, we could have been shut down if the inspector came), oh and left the safe wide open and the doors unlocked for the entire night.
This all when she was actually working and not hiding in the back texting or talking on the phone. No one knows how she isn’t fired let alone demoted. Another coworker and I were “promoted” to her spot with the promise that we would take her place when she was fired.
We happily took on the responsibilities and waited for the actual promotion so we could have the titles and matching pay. Yeah she’s still here, haven’t gotten that raise or any of the others promised, and still technically ranked under her. I just saw I have to work with her tomorrow and I’m mad.
