Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Backstory, my “fast dining” restaurant that is “Mexican themed” just lost its general manager so it is just the shift supervisors there. I am now making the schedule, one is in charge of ordering inventory, one is doing catering worksheets, and the other is day-to-day business. Recently, we had our main night cook put his two weeks in. We were going to fire him because of his attendance back in December, but I talked to him and told him hey I know you are young but this is a job not a place to hang out stop calling out and it worked. He has been written up twice for this. For the last few weeks, he has been calling out and making some shitty excuse like “my grandma fell” or “i have a rash on my arm” or “I’m puking” or “I have a lot of schoolwork” you get the point. I give leeway to the high schoolers because I was in their shoes once and I don’t want any mad parents coming my way, and they are usually good hardworking kids. I would usually believe him, as he has a rough life as it seems already, but he came in on his lunch at school on the days he called out! So today, he was supposed to be my cook and he called out and didn’t give an explanation, just told me he could not make it in. So I said fine, that tells me that yesterday was your last day and he got pissed and started backtracking and I said I have to go and ended the call. It is easier for me to cover his shifts in advance versus calling someone same-day and trying to get people to come in. Now, all the high schoolers (they all go to school together) are mad at me and the shift supervisors for doing this, and saying that his new job didn’t start until his two weeks were over, and he needs the money because he has to help his girlfriends parents with rent because he lives there. So, AITA?
