'You need to stay until 1 a.m.': Exhausted fast food employee working 11 hours shames toxic manager and stands up for himself in front of all his coworkers, manager gives him the “silent treatment”

A company that rhymes with "Yaco Dell" has a strong cult following for its Tex-Mex menu items. People are obsessed with their speciality items—so obsessed that they forget the company is owned by one of the largest money-hungry corporations who fight to keep minimum wage as low as possible. So is it really that surprising that the management at "Yaco Dell," which is usually employeed by teenagers, is toxic?

An employee working as a new shift lead recently shamed their manager in front of all of his coworkers. They had already been working an 11-hour shift and were exhausted. It was a particularly busy day and their feet were on fire at this point. The manager approached them and told them (didn't ask them) that they had to stay several hours later then they were initially scheduled to. The employee was in no shape to do so and had no intention to, so he asked if they could discuss this in the office. The manager refused and told them to say whatever they wanted to right there in front of everyone.

So they did, they told their manager exactly what they were thinking—that there is no way they are staying any extra hours and that if anyone should stay longer, in should be the management who has been working way less hours and can handle it. What is with managers thinking they can just add double duty to their employees like this one also did! Read the entire "Yaco Dell" employee epically standing up for themselves below.
