Burger King marquee goes viral with 'We all quit' message

The GM didn't think the letters put up by her workers would attract this much attention. She's now explaining what led up to the viral signage.

Thats great!!!!

I doubt if the employees who quit will have much trouble finding a new job.

Oooh they left careers?

Lol

That's defined as a career in Canada. Sadly.

I've never worked at a fast food joint When I was "managed out" of a corporate financial position however, McDonalds was the company someone was happy to help me get into. Why thanks. A nation of insulting people working their insulting, self serving agenda while the nation burns.

That is their right to quit. No one forcing them to work there. Go find another job.

I think they have, that's the point. They all quit after their manager quit. They didn't have A/C for two weeks, over 90 degrees inside, short on workers there etc.

If you need to quit, do it in style. No big deal except that the internet makes everybody a star these days.

The fault here is 150 percent on the corporation and zero on employees. I hope nobody applies at this dump

Don't disagree. And I don't think most people will disagree.
I will say that this is not the fault of the "Corporation" unless this is a corporate owned Burger King (which according to Google only 52 Burger Kings are actually corporate owned).
More than likely this is a franchise and is the responsibility of the franchise owner and not Burger King Corporation. Complaints can be filed with BK Corp, I'm sure, and that is probably the direction the employees should go. But IMO, that's a waste of time. Leave and move on. Most states are at will employment meaning that the employee and or employer can terminate employment "At will".

I worked with a moron that managed a BK and when he applied he told us that his background was in "food service" LOL.

If nobody applies to work there EVERYBODY wins. The nation wins.

BK is a Canadian company anyway. Tim Horton's acquired it in 2014.

Agreed. Employers need to realize that, with a labor shortage on, they need to work to attract and keep workers.


The old power dynamic of just expecting good employers to track you down and to put up with shit, is not working right now, and hopefully not for a while.

Employees are getting a leg up perhaps? It's so long long long overdue. Double or triple the pay for anyone that stays.

They're going to have to do that in any case as long as the government pays people more to stay at home than to work.

 

[initforme]

Good. Pay more or go under. No pity from me.

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

En masse...

All four of em

 

[initforme]

"take this job and shove it"....a great song with many real life american applications.

LOL! True, but when a workplace lets their staffing get short, if the small number is the whole workforce, "en masse" kind of works.
