Two managers were reprimanded, and one was fired by the franchisee. The CEO indicates that he does not allow such behaviour, so how come it is happening? Does he not have any area reps out there, or does he demand such high sales and service from the franchisees that the work atmosphere has become toxic in this company?
shareI don't know.... I have never been to one nor does that type of restaurant interest me. That cook was a d bag though.

I've worked in much smaller companies where the CEO didn't know that his own son had stopped doing things in the established way. When the 'S' hit the fan, he blew his stack that we weren't using the same standards as he'd established 10 years prior.
so basically this episode is a great example off food service management not being very nice people.
sharethat kitchen boss thought very highly of himself when all he does is manage the kitchen in a fast food restaurant. The joke is on him. I was told that people who put others down are unhappy with themselves. That guy is the poster child for that theory.
shareYes, the kitchen manager was a jerk but he apparently was also hard worker. Firing someone on national TV without any giving him any chance to mend his ways doesn't make the manager look good either.
shareThat conversation at the end WAS his chance, and he defended his behavior. "I'm not gonna change me. I am who I am."
Build a man a fire, he's warm for a day. Light a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life!
Was it just me, or did anyone else get the impression that he is an intolerant, close minded a$$h0le who lets women and minorities know where their place is?
shareHe is a Kentuckian, one of those rebel people that you never wish to meet. Definitely against the establishment and willing to get their way!

It's not just this one business, it is all businesses in the U.S. to some extent. Most of the time, the CEO is the ahole. I mean there are businesses still paying minimum wage when minimum wage is just the guideline in the U.S. and they talk about how their business cannot make enough profits. The wealth discrepancy between the employees and the board is getting larger and it goes unnoticed. Who do you think is in charge of all that? The CEO. Even more so, these are franchises and so most CEOs write it off as each being their own businesses. The only people they really are in charge of is just the franchise owner.
To make matters worse, you get franchise owners like Shawn, who gets away with the excuse of opening a new franchise and never being at his older one. WTF?!
You get that franchise owner in Chicago, IL, who says "Yeah, things may need to be run a little better"; however, do you think anything is going to come of it or is it something he says just to simmer the conversation, so when the CEO leaves, it starts up again?
So you see, it is corruption by many people down the line, not just the CEO.
