“If your dog died, you need to bring him in and prove it to us,” a then-Olive Garden manager wrote in a letter threatening to fire “anyone from here on out calls out more than ONCE in the next 30 days.”
An Olive Garden Manager in Johnson County, Kan., has been fired after sending restaurant employees a scathing letter about workers calling out too frequently.
“If you’re sick, you need to come prove it to us. If your dog died, you need to bring him in and prove it to us,” the letter read. The author threatened to fire “anyone from here on out calls out more than ONCE in the next 30 days,” adding that they have never “called off” in more than 11 years of work at the chain. “I got in a wreck literally on my to work one time, airbags went off and my car was totaled, but you know what, I made it to work, ON TIME!” the memo noted.
“Do you think I want to be here until midnight on Friday and Saturday? No,” the manager wrote. “I’d much rather be at home with my husband and dog, going to the movies or seeing family. But I don’t, I’m dedicated to being here. As should you. No more excuses or complaints.”
