Read MoreMy daughter was recently interviewed and hired at this McDonald's location. She received a schedule via email for her first three days of work, which she accepted. However, when she arrived, she was told that she accepted the schedule too late. My daughter explained that she was in school at the time the email was sent, and since phones are prohibited during school hours, she couldn’t respond within their expected timeframe.
After my daughter contacted me, I went to the location to gain clarity. The hiring manager was not present, but the on-shift manager courteously called her. The manager did make mention that my daughter walked out which she explained that she assumed the manager was finished, the manger explained she was looking to another manager for futher i information which explained the misunderstanding. After the call, I was told that my daughter would have to wait until the following Monday for a call back. I asked if they could call me instead, since I have access to my phone even while at work, but was told that it wouldn’t be necessary that if she missed the call she could return the call when she was able to.
On Monday, my daughter reached out to the district manager, who shockingly informed her that she had been "terminated" for allegedly disrespecting the team by walking away during a conversation. (REFER TO PHOTO FOR EXACT CONVERSATION). Later, my husband spoke with the district manager, who said he’d look into it. However, when I visited the store for further clarification, the staff there told me they didn’t understand how she could be "terminated" when she hadn’t even officially started working.
I find this treatment of my daughter unacceptable. The district manager has not followed up with us, and we have been given inconsistent information at every step. I worked as a GM for 14 years and am familiar with fair labor practices, including Fair Workweek laws, and this entire situation feels both unjust and potentially illegal. Not only is my daughter’s employment in question, but her character is being tarnished with a termination record before she even had the chance to begin. I hope someone looks into this matter, as no one’s child—especially a minor—should face this kind of treatment.
I kindly ask for a response on how this matter will be rectified. This is the nice way to go about it.
