i started with high hopes, it was my first job and i made sure everything was done perfectly, as perfectly as they had poorly trained me to do. things at chipotle are always rather hectic, and on the second week of my employment there one of my co workers, an older man about 40 started hitting on me, saying uncomfortably inappropriate things to me. im 18 and have issues with this kind of thing due to my past and i ended up having a panic attack. i told my manager and he said he would talk to him. i felt sexually harrassed but he was still there the next day (no biggie right?) -___- anyway... that stayed on my mind all night leading up to the very next day when i worked again. i was nervous and uncomfortable all day. i felt like i was getting looked at funny by the other crew and i ended up fumbling over a few things while at work. at the end of the day i ended up being short $30. i was devastated at the effect that event had on my day and i told my manager that i would take full responsibility. upon trying to explain to him my uneasiness at wat had happened, he told me that it wasnt a good enough reason. somehow at the end of the night he told me he would give me a second chance and that to do better. since then i completed my tasks each day perfectly. then on the last day of the second week i peeked at the schedule and i wasnt on it (i had even ordered shoes for work) so immediately i started thinking i got fired and noone told me.
all day was incredibly stupid. the manager avoided letting me see the schedule when i asked him about it and he pretended that everything was cool and even made small talk with me. he then left around night time and left the other manager to fire me. i asked that manager as well for the schedule and he told me the same thing "ill show it to u later, youll see it later"
well... later came, and when he saw i was finished painstakingly cleaning everything as clean as it could get he called me in and told me that he was left with the task of firing me. it was my last day and that because of the one bad day i had, i was being let go. mind u, it was my SECOND week. and on my first mistake they got rid of me.
im not full of myself but i know that besides that day i did hell of a job there. i cleaned and i served and i did everything to the best that i could and for wat? for them to tell me i wasnt good enough and that it would benifit the company if i wouldnt work there anymore.
not only did they not inform me sooner but everyone knew and kept going with a fake facade. it was cruel and unfair and not even the older man was fired. but i was. for one thing. i incredibly dislike chipotle now. they could shove their organic cilantro up their asses.
