@@lyrablack8621That’s a ludicrous statement but if you have to commute a significant distance/time to work you should definitely get a tax deduction for it.
Any time you work off the clock means your total hourly pay is being cut by however many hours you’re not getting paid. If you work 10 hrs but are only paid for 8, even if your pay is $12/hr, 12x8=96, divided by 10, now your hourly pay is $9.60/hr over that 10hr shift since you worked 2 hrs for free. Anyone telling you to work off the clock is actually cutting your hourly pay so get pissed at them. If they say the same thing happens to them since they’re salaried, ask for their take home pay with benefits and bonus and then you’ll work the same salaried hours.

I remember a manager clocked us out while we were still closing -> yeeeah we laughed and walked out. Openers were pissed at us till we told them what happened.
I never understand why some managers would adjust hours and do all kinds of illegal stuff for a company that is willing to fire them just as fast if not faster than they do their regular employees..... Why put yourself at risk because when the company gets in trouble for hours being cut and not giving breaks, they're going to blame the management and fire them and make it seem as if they didn't agree to that the managers were just acting on their own accord.

We do have labor laws. They aren't being enforced. But all of these stated problems should, by law, grant these workers $ ( back pay) in a much deserved lawsuit
@tjsam805 There's a lot of things your job can't fire you for. They just reduce you to 4 or 8 hours per week, and then you have to find another job anyway because you can't live off that amount. For some reason this fun loophole of "we're not firing you but we're dropping your hours to 20% of what you were getting before" is allowed. Kinda defeats the purpose of "they're not allowed to fire you."
@zBorderPatrol not allowed in whistle blower cases. that would be considered retaliation and land the employer in a lawsuit. if you're able to prove that they are doing it as retaliation like you have no disciplinary action on file and nobody else has hours cut then you can make a case out of it
@tjsam805 I'm not sure if that would work in these jobs where hours are always changing. That seems easier to prove in jobs where everyone is always full time. And I don't know about whistle-blowers, I'm thinking more about all the jobs cutting hours when someone gives their 2 week notice, or if the person did something not that bad, but a manager didn't like it and is "punishing" them. They also cut hours when they want to fire someone but won't because they don't want to pay unemployment. It just seems like a lot of ways that employees are meant to be protected by firings are just sidestepped by cutting hours. And these rules that are supposed to help employees, like unemployment, refuse to address the easy loophole of cutting hours.

I've stopped eating there, which I'll admit sucks because I like their food... but I can't support a corporation like that anymore. Now I eat almost exclusively at local businesses. Honestly, the food is better and healthier (there's a LOT of salt in Chipotle), and my money is going directly to the people who live in my community. If I stop eating at Chipotle and instead eat at the local Tex-Mex joint, they will grow, hopefully put the Chipotle out of business, and open another restaurant that will employ the Chipotle workers, only with better conditions. What you spend your money on matters. Choose wisely.
My own experience as a mcds worker im glad to say im not the victim in fact im treated decently. But i get paid like 17.85 hr and i think thats starting salary. Im not above beyond and late a lot not working full. But then i go to a city much more expensive (so wages should be higher) i see the sign "hiring for 15 hr" BUUULLL SH$%. i feel like they get late 1 sec they get fired and they steal there paycheck! Yea glad i havent eaten there over a year
A lot of times, it’s young inexperienced and eager workers who end up doing all this unpaid labor because they don’t know it’s illegal or they believe everyone does it to get promotions but don’t realize if they expect you to do it when you’re at the bottom, it’s way worse when you’re promoted. Salaried workers are doing it because they’re expecting profit sharing where they will be given bonuses for how much extra money the store is making but not hourly workers who are barely getting any benefits.
i’m a chipotle employee. it tells you in the training videos that you are never allowed to work off the clock even if a manager says to. you also get paid sick time (starting your first day even if you’re part time) so you won’t get fired for being sick or injured.
Corporate lawyers always have to make sure anything official is following the law or they will be sued. How each location is supposed to handle the amount of work for the amount of money allocated to pay for the work is up to the manager. Either they do less by following labor laws and end up with no bonus or they try to get away with breaking the laws to try to make earning quotas while cheating workers just to make sure to get that bonus that will justify the extra time put into the store.
Chipotle is literally the worst. Former manager here. Should've had 3 line, 2 grill, online order line, cashier as well as 2 managers on shift. Can't tell you how many times we had to make due with 4/5 employees. Not to mention the attitude from guests. Effin hate Chipotle.
My best friend worked for Burger King for about a year right out of high school and for that entire year he would put in anywhere from 50-75 hours a week and every single week he would only get paid for 40 hours. Us being the ignorant 18 year olds we were just didn’t pay it no mind but almost 7 years later I think about it now and how big of a lawsuit that could have been.
Find your labor relations department they are supposed to take care of these kind of things. And be sure to call or write your state representative. These are things you can do.. if everyone did these things hopefully it would change
This is why I swear not to work in fast food, they’re super sketchy. I’ve worked in retail for about 5 years, but I wouldn’t say it’s great either, but definitely no fast food.
True. Retail and grocery are slightly better. I work at Trader Joe’s and it’s much better than Chipotle, Starbucks and every restaurant I used to work at
@@MS-we9gn Trader Joe’s seems like a good place to work for. The one closest to me was the first ever unionized Trader Joe’s! Got to meet the guy in one of my college classes who started the union and it seems they’ve got quite the environment up there.
Profits over people. That is the root of it all. I support unions and incremental change but systemic change is what we need if we are to cure the underlying disease that seeks to profit from these types of working conditions.

Unions also keep corporations honest when they are trying to break laws to screw their own workers. If they are willing to steal from their own employees, they won’t hesitate to steal from other businesses or from the government. An honest business practice aims to benefit everyone involved and to take care of the environment for future generations so that there is a future customer base serve, future workforce to continue to employ and future marketplace in which to continue the business.
Slavery was never abolished, it was extended from blacks only to be a “benefit” for all skin colors. This struggle you guys are fighting was fought 100 years ago and we know have human rights for all. As long as workers vote for guys like Trump you are toast. Keep up the fight guys. Cheers from the 🇪🇺 where 4 weeks of paid vacation is compulsory and healthcare and child care is cheap or free. Maternity leave for both parents with pay up to two years, yes we have it.
i’m 17 one time i started my shift at 4pm didn’t leave till 12 am. AT 16 YEARS OLD I WASNT EVEN 17 YET MY FIRST TWO WEEKS THERE. so many more stories js waiting till my two weeks is up.
Americans CAN ask for equality. Conservatives just dildoing the need to progress. This types of unfair employment abuse, is something conservatives are working extra hard to not allowe workers to do, ask for FAIRNESS ⚒️✊
Walmart lost $3 billion last year due to theft, and closed 13 stores, but made $27 BILLION in four (4) months from profits. I'm crying crocodile tears here.

I worked at chipotle and loved it. Cleanest kitchen I've ever worked in and we made alot of tips. Also we were never understaffed so i don't know, I guess I got lucky.
You could always get a different job, I mean I totally understand, one time when I was younger I got a job washing dishes and clearing tables, I was sure they would pay 40 grand a year and all my dream would come true. Man was I DISAPPOINTED. I don't get it I dropped out of high school and got a friend to tattoo my face??? Racists! oh, also that ectopic thing that's from those shots you got.
A Union...or Attorney or rely on your Elected Representatives.....Ill take a UNION all day long!!!..you may not get everything you want but a Union puts a fence around what the Corporations can legally do to you.
I'm not necessarily defending most of this, but seven hours without a break? Where I'm from, at least, there are NO laws for breaks for adults. That's not even a "full" shift. I was used to that by the end of high school. (There were strict labor laws but mistakes happened)
If this closes stores, it sounds to me like the problem is taking care of itself. I don't understand why fast food employment is worth so much energy to keep. Just keep exposing them & go find a decent employer. They are out there, presuming you're a decent employee. This is what I've done, and it works beautifully. Plus I keep making money while being a whistleblower. I find the whistleblower business is easier if I can eat.
Got COVID, manager yelled at me and said I should’ve “planned better” and it was my responsibility to contact my coworkers and find coverage. I was new and shy so I had nobody’s number, she yelled at me for that too. When I got better first thing i did was turn in my two weeks. She told me to put it with the stack of everyone else’s two weeks. She also would bring her infant in a stroller and park it by the register her whole shift Also brushing sexual harassment and assault under the rug. The manager who hired me openly flirted with underage staff and groped one of the staff I was friends with. He threatened the dude if he snitched he would fire him. Everyone knew about it but no one said anything because the poor guy didn’t want us to “make things worse” That manager later got fired for being caught having sex with an employee in the hallway where we take our trash out. There’s cameras.
While most of these employees are probably pretty soft working at Chipotle probably sucks ass. Would definitely be fighting someone over cutting hours though.
I worked at Chipotle Almost all food service industry jobs are hard . I never had any of these issues but quit after finding a better opportunity. Seems to me these employees don't have a problem with Chipotle corporate but a problem with their immediate management ...
Work at a resturaunt and we don't get breaks. It's sureal to think that it's legally required everywhere but the resturaunt industry. I worked 11 hour shift on valentines day with no break and almost passed out. Got yelled at by so many people because the owner overbooked the resturaunt and people had to wait up to an hour for reservations. They require those hours of me every holiday. Oh yeah. No paid time off, paid sick leave, or benifits either :)
Labor laws aren't the only regulations Chipotle ignores. They also dont follow food safety rules, which is why they've been the source for multiple e coli and norovirus outbreaks.
I worked at Pizza Hut this last 2 months (just quit) I worked for 2 weeks before they gave me employee of the month so I wasn’t even there a month working yet but still got employee of the month. Well long story short they were abusive condescending and were still money from me! I left quick! I lost a family member a month ago and I went into work an hour early to talk to my manager about maybe leaving early that day to spend some time with my family and before I could even get it out I was being attacked and screamed at!
If you didn’t like working there nobody forced you to stay..you could have just quit and found another job where you could do nothing, take off work for mysterious ailments and not be prepared to ever work a few extra hours that earned you a few more dollars..also if you bothered investing in improving your skillset beyond serving food you would find you would be more respected and employers would appreciate you more because you bring value to your position.
I worked here and it was difficult to realize that it's dirty af the location I worked at was busy and dirty I don't remember management ever being responsible they was young kids they all hated it and how difficult it was to keep this place simple clean was never 😮
You don't need to unionize and fight that kind of working condition. That is completely against federal labor laws. You have a lawsuit on your hands that you will easily win.
The problem is everyone is lazy and not working so therefore so many have to work short handed. People have no work ethic and call in for any reason. Go to school, learn a trade ,do something. Stop complaining and trying to live on a minimum wage job.
I just noticed that they now allow you to tip the staff when placing a pick up order on the Chipotle site, I tipped but I don't know if the workers are actually getting the tip? Can anyone let me know if you work at Chipotle are they giving you tips for online pickup orders?
I had already decided to never eat at Chipotle because they made workers show up with stomach flu and caused huge norovirus outbreaks. Now I think i will protest any new Chipotle store applications at the zoning board. Cant think of anything else to do thats more than a boycott

If I stop eating at Chipotle and instead eat at the local Tex-Mex joint, they will grow, hopefully put the Chipotle out of business, and open another restaurant that will employ the Chipotle workers, only with better conditions.
What you spend your money on matters. Choose wisely.
My own experience as a mcds worker im glad to say im not the victim in fact im treated decently. But i get paid like 17.85 hr and i think thats starting salary. Im not above beyond and late a lot not working full. But then i go to a city much more expensive (so wages should be higher) i see the sign "hiring for 15 hr" BUUULLL SH$%. i feel like they get late 1 sec they get fired and they steal there paycheck! Yea glad i havent eaten there over a year
A lot of times, it’s young inexperienced and eager workers who end up doing all this unpaid labor because they don’t know it’s illegal or they believe everyone does it to get promotions but don’t realize if they expect you to do it when you’re at the bottom, it’s way worse when you’re promoted. Salaried workers are doing it because they’re expecting profit sharing where they will be given bonuses for how much extra money the store is making but not hourly workers who are barely getting any benefits.
Greed is EVIL
Honestly they're doing society a favor closing. How evil
And when a Chipotle bowl is $28, we’ll see how many workers still have jobs.
i’m a chipotle employee. it tells you in the training videos that you are never allowed to work off the clock even if a manager says to. you also get paid sick time (starting your first day even if you’re part time) so you won’t get fired for being sick or injured.
Corporate lawyers always have to make sure anything official is following the law or they will be sued. How each location is supposed to handle the amount of work for the amount of money allocated to pay for the work is up to the manager. Either they do less by following labor laws and end up with no bonus or they try to get away with breaking the laws to try to make earning quotas while cheating workers just to make sure to get that bonus that will justify the extra time put into the store.
Sounds like you should explore getting a union: apps.nlrb.gov/MyAccount/#/ChargeAndPetition/
BOYCOTT Chipotle, it works!
So that's why the "i just want wingstop" girl was so mad, she probably worked there.
Kids getting screamed at is “traumatizing”? Lmao okay
That anyone even chose to live in the us is beyond me.
It’s still better than most countries. I’d rather be poor in the US than most other countries.
Chipotle is literally the worst. Former manager here. Should've had 3 line, 2 grill, online order line, cashier as well as 2 managers on shift. Can't tell you how many times we had to make due with 4/5 employees. Not to mention the attitude from guests. Effin hate Chipotle.
Fast food has some of the worst labor violations and treatment
Ya my wife worked for them and they treated her like trash ya she walked out😮
My best friend worked for Burger King for about a year right out of high school and for that entire year he would put in anywhere from 50-75 hours a week and every single week he would only get paid for 40 hours. Us being the ignorant 18 year olds we were just didn’t pay it no mind but almost 7 years later I think about it now and how big of a lawsuit that could have been.
Free country... go work at Costco
I got an idea. Find another job
Capitalism is great!!!!
Find your labor relations department they are supposed to take care of these kind of things. And be sure to call or write your state representative. These are things you can do.. if everyone did these things hopefully it would change
Dude Sonic does not give breaks even in 8-10hour shifts. Also lots of working off clock cause labor is/was high
This is why I swear not to work in fast food, they’re super sketchy. I’ve worked in retail for about 5 years, but I wouldn’t say it’s great either, but definitely no fast food.
True. Retail and grocery are slightly better. I work at Trader Joe’s and it’s much better than Chipotle, Starbucks and every restaurant I used to work at
@@MS-we9gn Trader Joe’s seems like a good place to work for. The one closest to me was the first ever unionized Trader Joe’s! Got to meet the guy in one of my college classes who started the union and it seems they’ve got quite the environment up there.
Sounds like the Nursing field! Same thing!
Profits over people. That is the root of it all.
I support unions and incremental change but systemic change is what we need if we are to cure the underlying disease that seeks to profit from these types of working conditions.
@juqual78 As a businessman/biz owner,
I LOVE UNIONS!!!
I Love Unions because I need what ALL small biz owners need; I need CUSTOMERS!
CUSTOMERS are Consumers with Money. Union Workers organize and fight for a Living Wage = Money. Because Union Workers are ethical and work to get Money for a middle class lifestyle, they can become my (and Your) valuable CUSTOMERS.
Because non-union workers are too timid and/or ignorant to organize and instead choose to work for slave wages, they will likely Never become my (or Your) CUSTOMERS. Non-union workers choose Not to be middle class and instead choose to be poor slaves; they and their Handlers (aka greedy Corporate Overlords) are a shameful drag upon our economy.
Unions also keep corporations honest when they are trying to break laws to screw their own workers. If they are willing to steal from their own employees, they won’t hesitate to steal from other businesses or from the government. An honest business practice aims to benefit everyone involved and to take care of the environment for future generations so that there is a future customer base serve, future workforce to continue to employ and future marketplace in which to continue the business.
Slavery was never abolished, it was extended from blacks only to be a “benefit” for all skin colors. This struggle you guys are fighting was fought 100 years ago and we know have human rights for all. As long as workers vote for guys like Trump you are toast. Keep up the fight guys. Cheers from the 🇪🇺 where 4 weeks of paid vacation is compulsory and healthcare and child care is cheap or free. Maternity leave for both parents with pay up to two years, yes we have it.
i’m 17 one time i started my shift at 4pm didn’t leave till 12 am. AT 16 YEARS OLD I WASNT EVEN 17 YET MY FIRST TWO WEEKS THERE. so many more stories js waiting till my two weeks is up.
Americans CAN ask for equality. Conservatives just dildoing the need to progress. This types of unfair employment abuse, is something conservatives are working extra hard to not allowe workers to do, ask for FAIRNESS ⚒️✊
Walmart lost $3 billion last year due to theft, and closed 13 stores, but made $27 BILLION in four (4) months from profits. I'm crying crocodile tears here.
Any time you work off the clock means your total hourly pay is being cut by however many hours you’re not getting paid. If you work 10 hrs but are only paid for 8, even if your pay is $12/hr, 12x8=96, divided by 10, now your hourly pay is $9.60/hr over that 10hr shift since you worked 2 hrs for free.
I worked at chipotle and loved it. Cleanest kitchen I've ever worked in and we made alot of tips. Also we were never understaffed so i don't know, I guess I got lucky.
Did you fact check this, or just collect "stories" from union organizers (whose activities are only kegal because they get exempted from RICO).
VOTE FOR PEOPLE WHO REPRESENT YOU. Get back to WE THE PEOPLE NOT WE THE CORPORATION. 😮😮😮
You could always get a different job, I mean I totally understand, one time when I was younger I got a job washing dishes and clearing tables, I was sure they would pay 40 grand a year and all my dream would come true. Man was I DISAPPOINTED. I don't get it I dropped out of high school and got a friend to tattoo my face??? Racists! oh, also that ectopic thing that's from those shots you got.
A Union...or Attorney or rely on your Elected Representatives.....Ill take a UNION all day long!!!..you may not get everything you want but a Union puts a fence around what the Corporations can legally do to you.
every one of them applied for the job and got it, so what are they complaining about ?
The illegal practices of the job
@@jinglecat3678
Doing a job, and getting paid to do it is illigal ?
@@fentonb9520 it’s illegal to make people clock out and keep working
I'm not necessarily defending most of this, but seven hours without a break? Where I'm from, at least, there are NO laws for breaks for adults. That's not even a "full" shift. I was used to that by the end of high school. (There were strict labor laws but mistakes happened)
Worked at 2 different locations in 2 different states 🖕🏻 Chipotle
Such a bright future for the new generation of workers 🤷🏽♂️🤣😂better start learning how to cook cause food places will be closing
Sucks to lose jobs but we’re all better off with less chipotle
If this closes stores, it sounds to me like the problem is taking care of itself. I don't understand why fast food employment is worth so much energy to keep. Just keep exposing them & go find a decent employer. They are out there, presuming you're a decent employee. This is what I've done, and it works beautifully. Plus I keep making money while being a whistleblower. I find the whistleblower business is easier if I can eat.
Never ate at Chipotle. No I don't think I'm really ever missing out I rather cook my own Mexican food at home!
Got COVID, manager yelled at me and said I should’ve “planned better” and it was my responsibility to contact my coworkers and find coverage. I was new and shy so I had nobody’s number, she yelled at me for that too. When I got better first thing i did was turn in my two weeks. She told me to put it with the stack of everyone else’s two weeks. She also would bring her infant in a stroller and park it by the register her whole shift
Also brushing sexual harassment and assault under the rug. The manager who hired me openly flirted with underage staff and groped one of the staff I was friends with. He threatened the dude if he snitched he would fire him. Everyone knew about it but no one said anything because the poor guy didn’t want us to “make things worse”
That manager later got fired for being caught having sex with an employee in the hallway where we take our trash out. There’s cameras.
While most of these employees are probably pretty soft working at Chipotle probably sucks ass. Would definitely be fighting someone over cutting hours though.
Every job in America! Let’s all walk out tired of the bs
I worked at Chipotle
Almost all food service industry jobs are hard .
I never had any of these issues but quit after finding a better opportunity.
Seems to me these employees don't have a problem with Chipotle corporate but a problem with their immediate management ...
Work at a resturaunt and we don't get breaks. It's sureal to think that it's legally required everywhere but the resturaunt industry. I worked 11 hour shift on valentines day with no break and almost passed out. Got yelled at by so many people because the owner overbooked the resturaunt and people had to wait up to an hour for reservations. They require those hours of me every holiday. Oh yeah.
No paid time off, paid sick leave, or benifits either :)
Labor laws aren't the only regulations Chipotle ignores. They also dont follow food safety rules, which is why they've been the source for multiple e coli and norovirus outbreaks.
Chipotle isn't a career. Just leave.😂😂😂😂😂
I worked at Pizza Hut this last 2 months (just quit) I worked for 2 weeks before they gave me employee of the month so I wasn’t even there a month working yet but still got employee of the month. Well long story short they were abusive condescending and were still money from me! I left quick! I lost a family member a month ago and I went into work an hour early to talk to my manager about maybe leaving early that day to spend some time with my family and before I could even get it out I was being attacked and screamed at!
If you didn’t like working there nobody forced you to stay..you could have just quit and found another job where you could do nothing, take off work for mysterious ailments and not be prepared to ever work a few extra hours that earned you a few more dollars..also if you bothered investing in improving your skillset beyond serving food you would find you would be more respected and employers would appreciate you more because you bring value to your position.
Where is our Government this is horrible she is ambitious young worker this company should be investigated and this is just one person
I worked here and it was difficult to realize that it's dirty af the location I worked at was busy and dirty I don't remember management ever being responsible they was young kids they all hated it and how difficult it was to keep this place simple clean was never 😮
You don't need to unionize and fight that kind of working condition. That is completely against federal labor laws. You have a lawsuit on your hands that you will easily win.
I don't eat at Chipotle bcuz their logo looks like the pedophile child lover logo that the FBI released years back. Gave me chills.
Facts! I currently work there, but thank God my last day is in two weeks!
The problem is everyone is lazy and not working so therefore so many have to work short handed. People have no work ethic and call in for any reason. Go to school, learn a trade ,do something. Stop complaining and trying to live on a minimum wage job.
All employers are crap anymore start your own business be happy stop working for theres and start working for yours.
I just noticed that they now allow you to tip the staff when placing a pick up order on the Chipotle site, I tipped but I don't know if the workers are actually getting the tip? Can anyone let me know if you work at Chipotle are they giving you tips for online pickup orders?
I had already decided to never eat at Chipotle because they made workers show up with stomach flu and caused huge norovirus outbreaks. Now I think i will protest any new Chipotle store applications at the zoning board. Cant think of anything else to do thats more than a boycott
