A crew of fed-up Burger King employees took their beef with
their bosses public — with a simple message on the fast-food
mecca’s display sign that’s since gone viral.
“WE ALL QUIT,” the sign outside the Lincoln, Nebraska, eatery
said, KLKN-TV reported. “SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.”
The message, which restaurant management had taken down on
Saturday, was the handiwork of a crew of disgruntled employees
who had decided to quit over difficult working conditions and
long hours.
Former general manager Rachael Flores, among the nine workers
who hung up their aprons, said she once landed in the hospital
with dehydration after working in the steamy kitchen without air
conditioning.
“They have gone through so many district managers since I’ve
been GM,” said Flores, who started working at the eatery in
January, told KLKN. “No one has come to the store to help me
out. They’re so in and out.”
She said the idea for the sign was cooked up by her staff as
“just kind of a laugh to upper management,” she told the station.
“I didn’t think anybody was going to notice it, because we did
just one sign, and then it went pretty crazy on Facebook,” she
said. “I got a call from my upper management and they told me I
needed to take it down.”
Flores’ boss then told her to turn in her keys and she was
fired, the outlet said.
Another ex-worker, Kylee Johnson, said she had only remained at
the burger joint to help out Flores, whose restaurant she said
was badly understaffed.
“I knew what was going on staffing-wide,” Johnson said. “We were
just waiting for more people to come then and we got nobody.”
