Good results from being assertive!!


I am so proud of my teenage daughter,she has been working at a fast food job for several months She is a hard worker and has been working very late every weekend.Well she got a new manager and she  started having problems at work.This manager not only had her  in tears, but the other young girls as well.She was verbally abusive,she called my daughter a dumb-ass, and was dropping the F bomb.She also hit my daughter on the arm because her sandwiches weren't lined up evenly!When my daughter said something about her hitting her she said she hit a pregnant woman on her last job.She was very rude and critical.Well I called the main number for complaints, and my daughter and I met with the head manager of the company,it took a lot of courage to stand up to this kind of thing,but she was very calm and stated what had happened. I handled it well myself,honestly before this program I would have gone there and lost my temper with this person and probably not have  accomplished  much,but I expressed my concerns to the person in charge.I think it resulted in a good outcome for all the other employees because they posted a message  this morning that said ," Treat employees like they make a difference and they will",and my daughter's name  was mentioned. So a difference was made for a healthier work environment. Even though my daughter decided to leave the job she wanted to make a difference for her friends.

Mary good going! For both you and your daughter.

Toxic work environment should not be allowed and
That was abuse plain and simple. No excuse what
So ever.

You handled that well. Isnt it freeing when you hand
Over your will to God? You do the next best thing,
One foot in front of the other, one day to a time.

A good example of "say what mean, mean what you say, but don't say it mean". Great job!
