Did anyone else and their entire teams get laid off in the middle of dinner rush Friday?! Share your 💩 franchisee stories k NSFW
Sent out at like 6pm Friday after 7 months of hell. Some notable events were:
*All but 4/19 GMs quit in 8 weeks over terrible DM
*A manager finding out we owed royalties before DM or DO three times
*No trucks for a full week because the owner didn’t want to talk to corporate, even though they agreed to do a payment plan (that again, manager had to set up)
*Multiple trucks skipped
*Forced pregnant girl to stand all shift and fired her for needing accommodations (like days off for appointments and the ability to sit if she’s dizzy)
*Allowed a GM to be racist and sexually harass high schoolers
*Consecutive months of bounced payroll with zero communication
*Replacement checks constantly 1-3 weeks late
*Multiple eviction notices on front doors
*Debt collectors come to store
*Power, gas and water shut offs back to back at multiple stores
*Company cars get repossessed (and told we have to pay retail because they were trash
*All vendors lost (pest control, HVAC, plumber, Cintas…)
*Owners of check cashing places coming to stores and harassing employees and managers over bounced checks and demand payment (or else)
*Now facing $1.6m mil foreclosures
Oh, and he knew his franchise agreement was getting terminated years in JULY. Never attempted to sell. Didn’t sell. We’re closed until we sell.
Last year on Labor Day weekend I pulled the owner aside and told him he was going to lose the stores if he kept being absent and on his BS.
He laughed and said verbatim: “Even if one day all I have is DM1 and DM2; I’ll be just fine.
Everyone is replaceable.” One year later…
