I use to work at a Panera. It started out as almost the perfect job. Loved the people I worked with. We were all really close. Like family.

The manager staff was great. They were so understanding and willing to go above and beyond to help you. You could go to them with anything and they were always there to listen and help.

But over time the manager got moved to new stores and we got new ones. Let’s just say the place turned to shit.

We got a new general manager who was married. You could see she was a bit unhappy but nothing to extreme. She showed favoritism towards employees and gave them special treatment. She even tried to sleep with one of the delivery drivers and wanted to sleep with one that was engaged. She never slept with them but we all know she wanted too.

Another manager would constantly curves saying f-that and f-this and even f-the kids (meaning all the people in high school that worked there). He would even jokingly sing and say I’m going to bunch you in the face and stuff like that. Like we know it’s a joke but it’s a little off putting.

This same manager would also talk down to this one kid. He was a bit slow and took him awhile to do stuff because he had some disability’s. Well one of the garbages in the back was about half way full. And it had all the coffee stuff in it so it made it heavy. He started to yell at the poor kid telling him to change it and that it’s not rocket science. The kid being who he is did not understand and said that he knows it’s not rocket science. To then the manager saying that apparently it is and walked away. Like how could you have someone speak to someone that way who has a disability. That’s completely disrespectful.

Then what made me turn around and walk out was that I had a set schedule, this was set before they came. Was set before they all came. Anytime after 10 I could come in. They one day asked me if I could help train someone to put away the truck. I said sure so I started coming in at 730 or 8 on truck days to train the kid. After training him they started to schedule me to do it. I let them know it’s not in my availability. But they still did it anyway. Then I let them know that I would be dog sitting in about a week and a half and not to schedule me early that I would be like 45 mins away. The new schedule come out and there they have me for truck first thing in the morning. So I go in and let them know that I would not be able to do the first truck shift but I will do the second one. And that I was dog sitting.

I thought it was all taken care of but when I walked in to do the rest of the shift I was scheduled for the manager was waiting for me. And stated to yell at me saying I was supposed to be in at 8 to do truck. I let him know that I was dog sitting and let everyone know that I would not be in early. And thought it was understood. I then asked if he just wanted me to go home (because I did not want to be yelled at all day) and he told me he did not care so I left.

I wound up calling later that day and talked to another manager and he basically just yelled at me the whole time saying it was all my fault. And before I could ask if I’m still working there he hung up the phone.

The new manager staff was a bunch of people who did not care about anyone and would talk about people behind there backs. I’m was not the first to leave and I wasn’t the only one who left. More people left after me. They treat their people like crap and don’t care about anyone.
