Shouldn't a restaurant put a sign up if a staff member is infected with Covid? Well we don't have one up in SD. I used to love working at (Chili's store 1813) they make you feel welcome and at home, At First. You get comfortable with your " Teammates " and management until until something like COVID-19. I've been here over a year now and it's been wonderful don't get me wrong but this whole TM this is bull.
Ok, a line cook was exposed to the virus and reports it to management. After leaving the office he comes and tells me and a cpl other cooks ( I'm a line cook also by the way )
No meeting was held on what precautions to take or how serious it was ok... Then it's been a few days and I notice there has been only one manager working the whole week and my bro was on quarantine. I over heard servers talking to the manager and she explained that the other managers are staying at home to take safety precautions because they've been exposed to my bro... Duh we all have! We should have closed to do the right thing and make sure everyone was well and healthy, like test all employees talk about the social distance criteria or something. But instead,a they bring a couple of managers from Out of State Stores to come help. Along with Director of Operations Brian (something) from Minnesota to sweep it all under a rug.
And on top of that GM of the (1813) store Rachel here in RC, SD messages everyone on HotSchedules that she is sorry and that she appreciates blah blah blah, and "A True Chili Head" will go above and beyond to keep the ship afloat. So..... If the GM is willing to abandon ship with no warning to her staff, that "she says" is really important to her and cares about drown. Then why wasn't the workers still working during this time compensated? Hazard pay, a bonus, raise? Something? We were left to die basically is what that sounds like to me! What if "ANY OF THE WORKERS" were infected GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND for the job we appreciate?
I asked Rachel about bonuses and stuff for us who stayed but she replied "Nobody is getting anything, you got a lot of overtime that should be good enough." I only asked because a longtime (few years) cook told me him and another long time cook received a bonus.
I only posted this because when we report things to our GM, it only goes that far. Maybe you'll get a word in with Brian but that's all, he's a smooth talker. So if any of the Big Guys appreciate us small guys who care about each other and what we do here at Chili's of Rapid City please take notice that the epidemic is not over. What will happen if we get hit again or what if my bro "who still works" at Chili's infects a customer or fellow workers.
And yes we all take the proper procedures to stay healthy but there's always that What If... Thank you... Nothing like managers who say they care but will flip in a heartbeat...
