Traumatic Employment
Complaint

Country: United States
My wife has been working for Burger King for a couple years and has been an outstanding employee with minimal write ups. She has been going through such a traumatic experience working for Burger King that she is questioning any future work and possible careers. Working extreme hours along with mandatory meeting, constantly receiving harassing phone calls with verbal abuse while not at work and on her days off of work and being threatened with write ups and being fired over job duties that do not pertain to her job. A few months back, the phone calls got so back that I could personally hear the entire conversation from ten feet away. I quickly took the phone away and dealt with the situation in a bold upstanding demeanor. The phone calls stopped for some time but have slowly started back up again and have progressed from innocent job related shop talk to being distressful, traumatic and verbally abusive again.
To give another recent example. Yesterday, my wife had a Mandatory Meeting from 9am to 1pm. With a 45 minute drive time home and another 45 minutes drive back to work. She was also scheduled to work from 5pm to 2am closing the restaurant and cleaning for an hour that same day. Another Mandatory Meeting was scheduled at 8 am the same morning. She is still at this meeting and it is 11 am now. She also is scheduled to work tonight from 5pm to 2am and close/ clean the restaurant again. She has tried talking to the General Manager and the District Manager and even Human Resources multiple multiple times! They are unwilling to cooperate, file reports and just keep passing her off to each other. She has also put in for several transfers to another restaurant under BK corp and has been denied time and time again.
I have stuck by my wife and have tried to help her through these difficult times but now it is just too much for both of us. She is now in her third trimester, pregnant, and it seems that all the want to do it is get rid of her by any means necessary. After all the years of service this is the thanks BK Corp. has for it's employees.
