treating employees unfairly

I agree with @missmommy777 comments. I am a manager at my local Wendy's but started out as crew. The night manager that asked her to slice tomatoes was wrong that is part of opening prep. I am not saying it is bad for the night crew to help the morning crew and vice versa but there are different things that could have been done in less time. Also the night manager should have been nice about it not rude.

For example: Instead of slicing tomatoes which have a very short hold time once cut.
She could have done a few bags of mayo. Once the mayo is in the pan it is good for 7 days. Panning pickles and/or onions.

If it was my store the focus would be making sure bacon was cut and panned, shake bottles filled, frosty parfait ingredients ready to go, ketchup/honey mustard/ranch/signature sauce bottles filled, ready and labeled. Positional cleaning was compete. If time permits a couple pans of pickles and onions. No prepping tomatoes, lettuce and any of the salad ingredients.

If all the above was completed and missmommy777 (or any of my employees) were done then I would ask them to complete an extra cleaning assignment/task. If an employee was missing any WeLearn certification courses I would have an employee work on any incomplete WeLearn assignments.

This generally fills up the time at my store on a regular night. If it was super slow then more extra cleaning and WeLearn would be assigned. And I would clean the oven and oven racks, do positional cleaning for the PUW coordinator, ensure the PUW is stocked for the next day then I would move onto extra cleaning.

On busy nights I would eliminate extra cleaning/WeLearn on slow nights I would send one or two closers home if the night was really slow to control labor.

In any scenario tomatoes does not fit into anything. Once a employee/manager gets all of their regular night shift duties completed then to fill the extra time should be extra cleaning/WeLearn.

@missmommy777 there should be a big sign in your breakroom that is required to be posted and should say "Speak Out" if the management staff is not doing what is expected of them. Such as stopping harassment, favoritism, doing things that effects the quality of food, etc. Also in your breakroom should be the number to your DM, Human Resources, etc in the event management can't solve your problem.. If the speak out line isn't supported go to your Human Resources department and file a complaint.

Regarding breaks, the rules vary from state to state. In Kentucky everyone is required to have a 10 minute break for every 4 hours worked. In other states there is no such law and these stores do not have to give 10 minute breaks every four hours. This is up to management. In WV where I once worked the crew is supposed to have a 30 minute lunch break (paid or unpaid) for every six hours worked. Wendy's company policy is a 30 minute unpaid break for every 5 hours worked.

In a WV store a manager can have some flexibility regarding breaks, for example if a crew member is only working a 5.01-5.99 hour shift and doesn't want a break then the manager on duty can allow that crew member to skip that break but if their shift is 6 hours or more they have to have the break no matter what. In this scenario the crew has to ask the manager if he/she can skip the break. When I am asked this question I evaluate the situation, if I know this crew member will take longer than the scheduled shift to complete their duties I deny the request and have them take a break. If the crew member is great about completing tasks on time then I will allow them to skip their break.

Regarding the 10 minute breaks every four hours check to see if your state has this as a law. 9 times out of 10 the reason it is included in your handbook is because Kentucky has this labor law and handbook are printed for every Wendy's is the same regardless of state.

Also @Always blamed if your opening manager was late but you were there then your time should have been fixed to reflect your scheduled start time.

@the unhappy employee missmommy777 was right about the tomatoes, they should not be cut at night because they are only good for one day. There were plenty of things she could have done that would have been more productive.

Hope this helps.

treating employees unfairly

First off to everybody who has nothing better to do than to troll on websites and call other people stupid, f*%$ you mabie if you had a job of your own you would know what it was like to get treated like garbage by your employer, just stop getting all pissy at people who actually have jobs because you cant get one. Also I work (well worked) at Wendy's and I have an I.Q. of 176, its the area I live in, nothing but physical labor and minimum wage crap jobs. All the specialized jobs go to older people who are more "responsible" yea I can see that in my supervisors and managers. Nobody wants to hire a teenager in a management position or give them any sort of responsibility because a few bad ones of us ruin it for all of us.

Well since you are only six years old you really don't have the choice of where you eat do you? Another way your mother is neglecting you by not having them give you quality food. Seriously she should cook at home and not be lazy.

Why don't you get mommy to cook for you. It is her job to do so, if she can't she should have kept her legs crossed if she cant take care of a child.

If she gets laid would the person who laid her not be a pedophile since she is still a young child.

treating employees unfairly

I worked for store #29; and I have had to deal with death threats, racial slurs, sexual harrassment that started on my shift and didn't end until right about the end of my shift..THE ENTIRE SHIFT. I have had to deal with them cutting my hours or treating me shitty for complaining about theft, sexual harrassments, hours cuts, exessive hours when they would roll back the clock, not getting a break because they were pissed off...and the occasional drunk or high manager. I've had managers text, sleep, play video games, or sit in the lobby doing nothing on my shift. When I complained to my District manager nothing was done. I have even figured out how some of the managers were stealing and making other people pay for it. I just don't know how to prove it, but with the scores I used to get in customer service how could they do nothing but cuss me out because of another employee causing me grief and threating to kill me because i'm not nice enough?! My job is to do the 'sparkle' service to code...not be a doormat, a whore, and a kissass. I'm not being party to corporate theft or even better time clock theft. I informed them of my EEOC rights and that I wanted them...They're lucky I have no desire to contact AREN on my behalf over the way I was spoken to and treated for a 1 1/2 out of 2 1/2 years working for them. I have never heard such sexist, racist, bigotist, inflamitory speech in my entire life as what I had to endure from my coworker. No one short of hell deserves to hear it, we went from 10, 000 in one day to 1, 000 in one day and they couldn't figure out why.
