Burger King Sign Goes Viral, Staff Walks Out

By Admin In , , , ,

 

Disgruntled Burger King employees in Lincoln, Nebraska put up a sign on their marquee “we all quit” and “sorry for the inconvenience,” to send a message to upper management.

“They wanted to put up a sign to say, you know sorry there’s really not going to be anyone here,” former general manager Rachael Flores told a local ABC affiliate when interviewed.  “Just kind of a laugh to upper management.  That got put up yesterday before we opened, and I didn’t think anybody was going to notice it, because we did just one sign, and then it went pretty crazy on Facebook.  I got a call from my upper management, and they told me I needed to take it down.”

Flores and several other workers had already put in their two weeks’ notice that they would be leaving their posts, according to the report.

The workers interviewed for the story stated that they had been working in a kitchen with no air conditioning for weeks, where temperatures sometimes got above 90 degrees.

The workers also contended that they would frequently work through lunch and worked longer hours to combat staffing issues.

Restaurants Brands International owns three prominent QSR brands, Burger King, Tim Hortons, and Popeyes.  Unfortunately, these establishments and industries don’t offer the luxury of working from home and have had staffing issues throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
