It has come to light that a manager at an Olive Garden location in Overland Park, Kansas, who is now, according to the parent company of Olive Garden, no longer employed there, is under fire for allegedly attempting to impose a sneaky sick leave policy.
Olive garden manager’s letter to employee
The manager is accused of writing a letter to employees explaining the new policy on sick leave and mailing the letter out.
A section of the letter that states, “We are no longer tolerating ANY excuse for calling off,” was collected by a local news station and can be found online. If you claim to be sick, you should show up here so that we can verify it. If your dog passes away, we require you to bring him in so we can verify it. If it’s a ‘family emergency,’ and you can’t say no, then it’s your own damn fault.”
The letter continues by stating that any employee who calls in sick more than once within the next thirty days would be terminated because it is common knowledge that an individual may only be sick for one day at a time while they are ill.
And if a restaurant is struggling with low staffing levels, firing employees is the best solution I can think of for the situation.
She responds back to the company by writing a legal letter
The manager is said to have mentioned in the claimed letter that she had personally come into shifts when sick and had even made it to work on time after being involved in a vehicle accident.
Don’t let on to other folks about that! What a mortifying thing to say! Nobody ought to care that much about what they do for a living. Find another thing in your life that provides you joy and make it a priority. The quality of those breadsticks is not very high.
It’s never a bad idea to tell your staff members that you won’t respect them unless they give their lives for Olive Garden, followed by the question, “But we’re okay, right?” This strategy will never backfire on you. Your subordinates are really enjoying it, and there won’t be any tweets about it.
The reason why Olive garden manager fired Kansas
The manager of an Olive Garden restaurant was fired after he threatened his staff members for taking time off, telling them they would “need to come to prove it to us” if they were sick or their dogs had passed away.
The staff of the Olive Garden in Overland Park, Kansas, was recently disciplined by their manager for calling off work at what the management referred to as “an alarming pace.” The staff has also cautioned that no excuses would permit in the future.
According to a local affiliate of CBS, KCTV5, an unnamed boss sent a message to all team members, telling them that if they called off from work in the future, they “better get out there and look for something else to do..”
