Today, August 14 was my last day at joey. A lot of my coworkers were aware and actually brought it to my attention that I ve had a massive target on my back since I came back from Thailand. I am not surprised that I was let go as I could sense something was off. I refuse to have my work ethic and attention to detail be ridiculed and undermined. My iconic hospitality was in question even tho i was one of the few to get positive feedback letters weekly.

I have been harassed, bullied and have had to act like everything is okay for months now. It was also brought to my attention by several of my regular guests that they had written several feedback letters and management had withheld ALL of them to substantiate their false claims against me. (Definite witch hunt) I travelled from Oshawa solely to work with the people I had the pleasure of working with, there are many other restaurants to work for but I chose to stay because of my coworkers. I think it s important that people are away of the way some of us are treated on a daily basis as it can really affect our mental health. I, a woman of colour with very short hair was constantly told how I didn t meet the joey brand on numerous occasions. Yet I was constantly relied on to take on bigger sections to help fill the roles that others couldn t take on. I hope that those who have been put in my position can speak up against this harassment as it s extremely wrong and very unnecessary.
