i worked for a fast food company for the last four years. i was a manager and made decent compared to others on staff. i did my job very well. i worked hard rarely late, never called off, worked late and came in on call. i always was a go getter. last year my father died and this last spring my grandfather died. it took a toll on the family financially and even called for a relocation in my mother and my owns case. in this company i have even worked at many different locations for the area managers and the were happy to transfer me to a new location. i was very settled with a great team and as usual did a kick ass job. however, this particular location decided to sell into a franchise . we all knew there would be changes. soon those changes were becoming too much. we understood wen they took away our meal discounts. we understood wen they cut hours to train new employees. we did not understand when the store slowly began to fill up with managers from other stores who turned out to be friends with the new stores gm or when money started to come missing and was asked to place our personal money to cover the indiscretions.then they transfered our gm only to fire her with in the week. then everyone of the original team started being suspended ten fired one by two by one. so far seven of fifteen in total. they literally started lying to get people fired so they wouldnt have to pay unemployment and altered the hours worked. they took away the benefits and everything,. i worked there four many years. i built a name for myself and was respected in my field. today i have a lie tarnishing that hard earn respect into a black balling nightmare. i moved to a small town and because of these lies that can not be proven i can not find a job. now less the money erased off my last check i have fallen behind, i have tried to seek assistance through the government and i can not get food stamps or unemployment. i have gone from supporting a family by working hard to falling behind quickly unable to get a job no matter the effort. my rent is 450 and car payment is 295. insurance is 140. wit these numbers doubling within the week i am good to have to start choosing between food and bills to keep ahead. i know i can get past these injustice. i just need some assistance floating by til i can get a source of income. please any little bit you can do offer advise representation or good old fashion cold hard cash would help me and my family greatly. thank you in advance for the support!!
