Hardee's Restaurants

I worked at the Fennimore, Wisconsin Hardees for the last five and a half years. One employee (Darrell) got his hours reduced because he always came to work dirty, refused to wear gloves and did very little work. We were losing customers due to his dirtiness. He would not label day dots (used to determine food expiration), filter the fryers, thaw frozen product, clean, or take temperatures of heated foods. Several employees told me the he sells drugs at his home. But Doro would not let us fire him. He is African American and accused the entire Hardees staff of being racist. Any time Hardees complained about his laziness, he pulled out the race card. Not only were the entire staff respectful of him, but he often used the 'n-word' HIMSELF at work! He was the only one doing this. I have no problem with other ethnicities! I don't care if a person's skin is green (with blue polka dots). But I do expect everyone to work hard. I have documentation of these issues. But Fennimore Hardees sales are down by 2% to 5% over last year. The General Manager's husband had heart surgery and she has to take care of him. But this isn't why sales are down. Sales are down due to bad weather. Doro fired the G.M. instead. They kept Darrell around -- as a way to harass the G.M. Then canned her. ALL THIS - AFTER NOT LETTING HER FIRE THE GUY. I went into work -- on my day off - and complained about Darrell's laziness, dirtiness and suspected drug sales. I was fired for being insubordinate. I am an award winning biscuit maker and (recent) bonus winning manager. I have a perfect record with them over five years. When I refused to work with this lazy, (several employees accused of being a drug dealer), I was fired by Robin F. I was always very devoted to Hardees. I did lawn care, maintenance, shift leading, training and truck orders. In 5 ½ years I called in sick once! I took one day off last year while battling pneumonia, pink eye, a cracked rib and a sore back. All at the same time. I helped remodel the inside and outside -- often on my own time. Often with NO PAY. Robin Flannery told the Unemployment agency that I did not deserve unemployment because I was racist. This claim was later dismissed by the Unemployment agency. Currently, this G.M. is unemployed. She if hurting for money. She does not get unemployment because Robin F. lied to the Unemployment agency. Robin F. claimed Robin M. quit. Now Robin M. gets no unemployment. Her family does not qualify for help with food. She had a sick husband, no job and no food money. Is this the kind of evil Hardees needs to make a buck? I have also gotten sympathy letters from other managers in Robin F's district -- complaining about her. Even though Fennimore Hardees' last two Eco-Sure evaluations were Gold and Platinum. Even though it's last two Secret Shopper evaluations were 95% and 100% we were both fired.
