Furthermore, if there WAS more, you should've just terminated him. You even said yourself, the unemployment wasn't a problem... Here in TX, we have "at will" employment; meaning you can be fired for any fucking reason...and quit just the same. But obviously if it's done maliciously, there is most likely going to be retaliation. Can you really blame a guy who's well-being was sacrificed? Was it really handled the best way?
Again, BOL moving ahead...hope you two both move on, period.
Let me help you understand
First off I OWN A BUSINESS
2nd off Ill be a danmed to allow someone anyone who works for me, reaps all benifiets from me to post anything negative about me, my restaurant or other staff members who work for me via SOCIAL MEDIA.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?
Does this compute?
Are we seeing what I am writing here?
Now that we are seeing exactly what Im saying let me let you in on how this went down, since you are clearly convinced that I did the douchebag wrong.
As a matter of fact here is what I sent my main manager via facebook the first time this moron wrote something negative via facebook
Sean
Did you see what Brandon is writing in regards to the the restaraunt and certain people who work for me?
Call him immediatly and tell him to remove all these stupid statements or he can quit, Im not going to allow him or anyone else to air their greivences on a social media network.
This was December 2010
Fast forward to October 2011
His wife wrote
the customers are as big assholes as the owners, thus the reason they eat at *** **** *****
I was outraged, I called him and said, put that dog of yours on a leash, and chain her outside, I will not have your wife disrespecting my customers via social media, I also told him, If you want to vent, be my guest but do it via text with your friends, I want nothing negative coming from your family when the sole reason you are feeding them now, have your own apartment now and not living in your uncles garage is because of the job that I provided you.
His response was
I didnt write anything negative my wife did
I said so you are not gonna make her remove it?
He said No, she is entitled to her own opinion.
I said okay
When he came in and saw he was only getting 6 hours a week for the next two weeks on the schedule he quit.
REGARDLESS of what you think, feel and say, I handled it with a-lot more class than most people would have.
for you to say, I had it coming speaks volumes for the type of person you apperently are and thus I will nolonger have contact with you on any level on these boards.
