In reply to the discussion: Chelsea Welch-Fired Applebee's Waitress- Heroic "Statement On Behalf Of Wait Staff Everywhere' [View all]jtuck004
(15,882 posts)What do you want to bet if they told Michael J. Archer, the CEO, that they were going to pay god and not him this week that the story would be all over the WSJ, not just some two-bit Reddit site, company policy be damned? Good little corporate fascists always believe in the policies. For example, Kerr-McGee didn't want information getting out about the murder of union activist Karen Silkwood. Lot's of corps and governments have policies about not releasing information, especially where they are profiting from the mistreatment of others. But as Jay Gould taught us, they can always hire the other half, because kissing ass is the way up, eh? Typical management attitude.
EVERYONE up the line got paid more than the shitty little amount this waitress got, the one who did the front line work, and, frankly, if this preacher woman didn't want it made public she shouldn't have been stupid enough to put it in writing.
It's really too bad that Applebees doesn't have a corporate policy against their employees getting screwed over by cheap thieving bastards.
