Do you think unemployment needs to end now?


A Nebraska Burger King has gone viral after the staff put up a sign reading "We All Quit. Sorry for your inconvenience"

Employees at Lincoln franchise said it's been understaffed for months while they worked in a kitchen with no A/C even as temps go as high as 90F

Ex-General Manager, Rachael Flores said employees pulled the plug after she put in her 2 weeks notice and then 8 others followed

She said "They wanted to put up a sign to say, you know, sorry there's really not goign to be anyone here. Just kind of laugh at upper management"

They joked on July 9th to put up the sign telling customers the store wasn't open cause they all quit and they did it

She said "I didn't think anyone was going to notice it, because we just did one sign. I got a call from upper management, and they told me i needed to take it down"

But she said she couldn't take it down cause they were short staffed at which point they told her to leave.

But she said working conditions drove all of them away as she too was hospitalized for dehydration but her boss said she's just making excuses

But they've gone through a lot of turnover since working there last year as they were forced to run breakfast with just 2 people on staff and 3 in the lunch rush

Burger King told Dailymail that the work experience described here doesn't go in line with their brand values and is looking to ensure this doesn't happen again

Her best friend, Kylee Johnson started working there in January because she knew they needed help and was goign to quit when more people showed up but never happened

Kylee wrote "When your GM puts in her 2 weeks and the 8 other employees including yourself put in their 2 weeks laughig emoji. I'm so f****** proud of my best friend for all her hard work and being an incredible manager. Anywho, BK will learn how to treat their employees before they completely shut down"

The LA times said the national unemployment was 5.9% but those who received Unemployment durign the pandemic have a financial cushion to search for a better paying job rather than settle for a minimum wage job causing other chains like Chipotle to raise the wage to $15 followed by McDonalds, Southwest Airlins, Walmart and Costco

Unemployment benefits pay more than most minimum wage jobs and due to continue until September as part of Biden's 1.9 trillion dollar pandemic relief package.

But Job Creators Network, Alfredo Ortiz said while unemployment benefits were helpful during the pandemic for laid off workers, now these people are being paid more to sit on the couch than get to work creating an unbelievable labour shortage and said "The Democrats should realize times ahve changed and reduce unemployment benefits accordingly"

Conservative critics have been blasting these benefits claiming people who earned less than 32,000 a year were better off on EI when they were the ones doing the labour jobs now without staff

Do you think unemployment benefits need to end?

Honestly if I was paid less I'd probably quit my job too over the temperature. I've worked warehouse jobs with no AC before, but they all had fans all over the place and good circulation. I currently work at a place where the AC won't do anything and everyone who responds to the work orders keeps saying "no problem" and it's just brutal oppressive heat with no relief anywhere in the building.

You mean people were annoyed at no A/C in grueling work conditions while it's hot as shit outside and being understaffed?

Umm yeah, I think even if unemployment benefits were complete garbage most would have quit. Shit people quit jobs like this on a regular basis, most fast food places struggle to keep staff in even ideal conditions.

I can't imagine working a fucking grill in a building without AC when it's 95 degrees Fahrenheit outside.

It's crazy because BK is probably my favorite fast food place. At the very least I think they are winning the chicken sandwich battle (no popeyes around here I have no clue what their sandwich people kill for is like)

Burger King is definitely one of those joints that can be hit or miss. There are about 7 within 25 miles of me. Out of those 7, only 3 have clean and predictable food.

I think some BK do not follow storage protocol or cooking protocol because they're bound to be getting the same inventory. The only thing I ever order there is the whopper or their chicken sandwiches.

The ones near expensive areas usually can be trusted more. But I wouldn't count on it. We had a Wendy's in downtown Charlotte when I was a teen that was in the news because the owner wouldn't reprimand or fire these girls that would be mean to the customers. It was some race thing looking back. They put a cop in there and for years it was never a problem. It happened right around 2000 to 2001. People would come in there looking for a fight. They tried to burn it down, it closed for a few months and reopened with completely new staff. I'll always remember that day because I listening to that song "Drive" by Incubus on the way to night school after it reopened. Damn, I wish I could go back. That was a good time.

The owner's don't seem to care at all about the Burger Kings in the Omaha area. Potholes and broken pavement in the parking lots, trash everywhere, broken or malfunctioning signs, and heavy employee turnover. I wouldn't doubt that the Lincoln stores are the same way.

If you quit a job, you disqualify yourself from unemployment so that isn't the best move to make.

Generally, unemployment is provided only to those who are temporarily out of work through no fault of their own so if you quit a job, that's your fault.

Depends on the circumstances for which you quit. If it was because of a better opportunity, school, or becoming self employed, then no, you don't qualify. If you quit due to unsafe work conditions or because your employer basically forced you to so they didn't have to fire you, then you might qualify. Of course, that has to be proven and can take quite a while before you see anything.

Well, it's higher around where I'm at I guess. Either way, I'd trade shitty customer service for a little manual labor for a few extra bucks an hour no question. How hard you work would also depend on the warehouse
