I personally worked for this company for 8 years. They treated me right for about 4 or 5 of them. The company came under new ownership at that point, and I began to feel unappreciated. I stuck with it for three or so more years, and that was all I could take. The management knew there would be no raise for me so they just stopped evaluating my job performance. You can't tell someone they are doing great , but there is no more money for you. So they just stopped saying anything at all, and joined their robot work force. I left O'Charley's 3 years ago and it was the best move I ever made!!! I am now the executive chef of the busiest restaurant in my home town. A town of 115,000 or so. I am not writing this for me though, I am writing this for my wife, who has been with O'Charley's for close to 15 years. My wife broke her foot in two places in march of this year, and has been out of work for 6 months. My wife has turned in paperwork from her doctor, and a work release form OK ing her to go back to work. Now she is being told she no longer has a job with the company. The company she busted her ass for, for 14 plus years. She could get her job back as a new hire, and lose her vacation pay, three weeks paid, seniority, and all other benefits she's worked so hard for. Shame on you O'Charley's for treating your employees this way. Blue ribbon holdings you get no ribbons, so call yourself whatever makes you feel good. You get one star, and that's cause I can't give you zero. If I don't receive a reply of some sort. I will use all my friends, family, and other resources to try to get your restaurant closed in my town. I'm a bit of a local celebrity so it wouldn't be hard. You need to take a good hard look at yourselves, and start taking care of your people, because that used to be the O' way. Don't know where you went wrong "Blue Ribbon Holdings".
