***Shift Leader btw***
*I apologize for the typos, I was mentally breaking down when I was typing this*

So for starters im writing on a separate account for privacy reasons. I would like to say that I genuinely love my Coworkers, and I’ve been working at Jersey Mike’s for over a Year and a half. My former manager had stepped down due to stress and pretty much being bullied by his boss. We had another worker that was part time, but was a manager in the past. I enjoyed working with him as well, until recently. They basically swapped places and he became the new manager. I was happy just for the fact that I wouldn’t have had a stranger as my manager. However, there’s been plenty of things that has made it almost insufferable to work there now. If im being honest, the new manager was a great worker. But now that he became the manager he throws everything on everyone else. He leaves two people numerous times during lunch rushes and goes in the back or just goes in the bathroom for 45+ minutes (at least 2 times per shift)
He understaffed us on days that we need help. I know most jersey Mike’s has 4+ people for lunch shifts, be we can be one person worker a 2 person job (it is was it is) He complains about labor but takes a few days off, and now that the labor is high (mainly during his days off) he’s now cutting everyone’s hours, but is still taking those days off. Granted everyone deserves days off but as a manager you have to step up and at least have a game plan. Not to mention, it’s annoying having to work with someone that puts a schedule out last minute, and I mean LAST minute, I received my schedule not even an hour ago, and gave me 4 hours of a notice for my shift today.
Not to mention, he says things about women (customers) almost every single day and it makes me uncomfortable. I just needed to vent without being too specific, if you got this far with reading, Thank you💛

**Also, we’ve received numerous comment cards/reviews about how the workers always look stressed out and that there seems to be a lack of management 🥲 I do enjoy working here but something has to give.
