Well I've got a temporary full-time job at a local Wendys. Needed the money really badly as I quit my last job and was jobless for a while (my stupidity lol). Anyways back to the job. I've worked at a McDonalds before for 2 years so I was able to get this job relatively quickly... I never had to go through an orientation or anything... they never even gave me a proper training just put me to work and I had to learn everything on my own. (It's nothing like the McDonald's I worked at...)
Anyways the managment was constantly on my case about me being slow and lazy, I didn't think this was fair because
a) I didn't know what the hell I was doing most of the time OR what extra things I COULD do..
and
b) I work an opening shift... which requires me to work for 3 hours before the store opens cleaning EVERYTHING stocking EVERYTHING putting away orders... this is pretty hard labour like cleaning the fryers etc is not an easy task. Especially when you have to do 5 fryers in about 30 minutes.
I also had caught the flu... a really severe case of the flu actually I was sick for a week and a half. For the first little bit I went to work but then my doctor told me not to go. So I missed a couple days and went back. I went back to my doctor and the doctor told me I was still recovering from the flu and he said I should return to work for myself and for food safety reasons. (I was still puking not that you guys would like to know that :P) Anyways FINALLY I returned to work after missing about 5 days. The comments STILL came even now it included that I missed so much work... which I completely understood I've worked there for about a month and I missed 5 days of work already so that's pretty significant.
Today I went in for my shift and was putting away the order. (every other day they get a shipment of all the supplies they'll need like the dry goods, frozen goods etc.) As I was putting away stuff in the fridge the manager came in and was yelling about how slow I was and he PUSHED me causing me to nearly fall over (with a like 50 lb box of meat in my hands) he ripped the box of meat out of my hands and he put it away... improperly I might add. Anyways I said to him "Yo man don't ****ing touch me" and he replied to me with more comments about how slow and lazy I am and how bad I am at doing my job etc. So I said '**** you peace" and I left the store. He called me at my house and said that if I didn't return not to go back in on Monday because they won't be needing me anymore.
I didn't go in... What would you guys do in this situation though. I have another job pretty much lined up for me right now but it really bothers me that he pushed me and it also bothered me the way that employees were treated at this restaurant... I've never been in this situation before and am lost as to what to do. My dad says I should phone the Ministry of Labour (we live in Ontario if it matters). I really don't want to be bothered with that though...
What do you guys suggest... Sorry it was pretty long I also just wanted to get the entireeeee story out I feel better now hahahaha :D
