I was a Chipotle apprentice until yesterday! I was ultimately fired for not being a leader. Lets see... I was a km in 6 weeks and a sm in 8 and two months after my promotion to sm I was promoted yet again to Apprentice. I was never in one place long enough to have a manager invest in my development until I went to Harrison Ohio. Everything seemed to be great there until to psycho alcoholic GM Kim accused me of sleeping with crew members! None of this was ever proven so they moved me yet again to another store. This time I was moved to a store with no GM and there was only another apprentice. Again no real leadership, nobody to help develop my career. The other apprentice and I didn't get along for many reasons, mostly because they put two of us in there to battle it out for GM. If that wasn't bad enough the demoted the Area Manager to a GM and then we had nobody at all. Eight months later they decided that our store needed a GM. He came in a pretty much was either told that he was to get rid of me or do kim's dirty work and get me out. I can't express how much I have given up for this company, soccer games, picking my kids up from school on time, and just having the joy of watching them grow up. I did it because I believed in something more for myself and my career but I realized that if the don't like you they will remove you for some bullshit reason. I am actually relieved that I will no longer have to fake a smile and tell people about Food With Integrity when I know its a crock of shit it is! I Did I mention that I have never once been written up or received a bad score on my manager review? How's that for integrity for you????
