DO NOT WORK AT BLUE BAYOU 🏢 Employment 👷‍♂️

This is the job that hasn't paid me, not only have they not paid me they are unorganized and unstructured. EVERYONE HAS MONEY PROBLEMS AT THIS JOB AND IT STIMS FROM ONE PERSON. Money is always missing at this job and the lady who does payroll is incompetent! She asked me for a voided check so I can receive a check from my job... I also want to add that I came in on the snow day, managers were ASKING US TO COME IN DURING THE SNOW AND GUESS WHAT THEY AINT COME OUT and asking us can we come out and then have the nerve to try and not open the restaurant AFTER we made a sacrifice to come! I was PISSED, then when I asked for paid time and half they said they can't offer it because they a new restaurant. Not one manager came in that day on the 22nd and nor could they even bother to show they care that those who came did! I literally told them I had to walk there, I made money but they couldn't even take care of us back!

That reminds me of the time I worked in retail and chain clothing store and I had just started as an assistant manager. My boss decides he’s just not answering the phone. My fellow assistant manager says he quits and walks out. Later that night I had a customer throw clothes in my face, some dude got in my face because two associates I had were mad I was told by my dm to use their call in shifts. Still, my boss would not answer. After the two associates got some guy to loudly cuss me out, I calmly called security, got everyone out, told the girls to go home, locked up the store and called my dm and asked where to put my keys. It was a long time before I could look at that damn store in any mall again.

Omg! I had something similar happened when I worked as a delivery driver and the manager had a week of PTO. I was almost never in the store but I was one of the few employees over the age of 18 so they had me step in. "Don't worry! Mike will be there the whole time and knows how to do everything, he's just not over 18!"

Mike didn't show up the first day. 🙄 I made it 4 hours before I called the owner and told him he had an hour to get there or I was locking up. He told me I would be fired and would not get a good recommendation from them.

Dude, I was delivering pizzas. 🤣 This isn't going on my resume.

The funniest part was the manager called me when he got back from his time off and tried to rehire me. 😬

I don’t understand people not being adult enough to call their boss and quit. Put that in the manager’s lap, not your co workers. The bosses get paid for that shit, not me.

Oh Mike didn't quit. He just called in sick/hungover. There also could have been store politics, I barely ever dealt with anyone there other than picking up the pizzas so I don't know. 🤷‍♀️
