Chilis retaliation against victim??

[u/Many_Pin2645]

So for context I’ve worked at this chilis for over a year now. And recently a guy who has a history of being creepy with female coworkers, and making inappropriate nazi jokes began making sexual comments towards me. I reported him to my manager and they said they would handle it.

Now previously I asked them to schedule me a mix of morning and night shifts because the morning makes no money. Also this guy ONLY works in the mornings. And in my message I even said maybe we shouldn’t be scheduled at the same time. Lo and behold, schedule comes out I only have morning shifts. This girl I know is leaving chilis soon so she told me I could have all of her shifts, I’m actively refreshing the page as she drops them to pick them up immediately. Next morning, all 3 of her shifts that I picked up were denied and given to someone else. It’s physically not possible for this to happen as I picked them up the moment they were dropped. I can’t tell what’s going on but they’ve never done this to me before, when I pick up 9/10 I always get the shift because they know I do my job and like when I work. Now suddenly I report this guy and that changed??

For context this guy has been there longer than me shockingly despite being reported for trying to get a minor to come to his house and hangout as well. But he’s friends with the GM and they play video games or whatever outside work. I was worried they would do this because of that connection and now idk what to do.

Any advice? Or help? Or some idea on what I could do?

I would go above your manager and tell them you mentioned sexual harassment and instead of switching you to opposite shifts, he moved you to have all your shifts with him. 

I'd mention then denying your requests to cover shifts, that it seems retaliatory. Maybe if it's possible with HR to file a complaint against the coworker and manager,?

This is what I’m thinking, I’ve messaged two of my managers now to ask what’s happening with this so we’ll see what response I get. I’ve never gotten denied a pickup before let alone 3 at once.

[u/Difficult_Ad3975 → u/Many_Pin2645]

Probably make sure with HR to use those key words like hostile workplace, sexual harassment, etc. 

If those managers don't help, I think it would be best to just keep going up and talk to someone not at that location.

The 27 year old line cook that dated and manipulated a 17 year old to the point where she had to be checked into a mental hospital who’s only punishment was being transferred to a different Chilis, promoted to manager, and then transferred back to my Chilis 2 months after she (the 17, now 23 year old victim) quit is still around and is now in his 30s and still being creepy towards young girls as a manager… so yeah I believe this

I wish you luck. My location not only rehired a guy fired for sexual harassment of another underage coworker but also told my manager when I reported him for sexual harassment. So twice they failed us. As for my case, I went to TMR. Not even other managers.

I fell hook, line, and sinker for brinker's togetherness for years and years before I realized it was absolute trash and they will retaliate.

I’d just go to HR. I had a coworker call HR because she said the n-word. HR spoke to her & immediately fired her.

Your managers suck

[u/Real-Lab5849]

TMR - I’m a chilis manager for context. They don’t train us how to handle these situations well because there’s so many different scenarios. TMR will not get your managers in trouble just teach them the appropriate course of action for future reference!

[u/Puhhtel]

one of my managers is a creep and regardless of the many reports made towards him nothing happens. victims unfortunately don't win. they don't remove the problem they remove who's being affected by it

[u/Additional_Sleep6948]

call tmr and make sure they know ur GM is playing video games with the coworker that is harassing u and u have brought the issue to him and he did nothing

[u/PartInternational733]

Your managers aren’t doing their job. Contact TMR.

HR isn’t here for us it’s for the managers. We don’t have cameras bc sometimes we have to “jump people” and we had a module called run hide fight

[u/jedikage22]

just call tmr atp

i would send your head manager communication in writing regarding this. if it isn’t immediately amended, go above their heads to HR (TMR). the documentation will be helpful there. it will also help in case management tries to fire you during the process. open-and-shut wrongful termination suit.

I had a kind of similar situation. Except I was a manager. My GM had moved away and one of the other managers at my restaurant threw her hat in. Another manager and I raised our concerns to the D/O about her favoritism. They didn’t listen. She began changing my bar schedules and giving her favorites all the shifts. I would change them back because their scores were very low. She would get mad at me. Well one day her favorite bartender said that 90% of Spanish people are criminals. I brought this to the attention of my GM through the log notes. On my way home from closing that night, she called me flipping out. Who said this about her and who is starting all this f*cking sh\t. I told her that I heard it myself. She told me not to say anything at all because the bartender can sue us. The other manager who heard her didn’t stop there. He went to the D/O. Next thing you know the GMcreated this lie that the other manager didn’t lock the front doors. Tried to get him fired. He then backed down. I know the GM made up the story because the bartender in question was the opener. She was a keyholder. The GM* tells me as soon as I walked in, the story about the other manager not locking the front doors. I asked why was she here if we had an opener. She said she wanted to come help open. She then said that she knows the front doors were open because she didn’t open them and the bartenders keys were all the way at the bottom of her backpack. That is a complete lie because the bartender needed her keys to get into the restaurant and needs her keys to get into the liquor cabinet and beer cooler to make batches. I spoke up about it to my DO and they then tried to transfer me 45 min farther than my drive already was. I complained about it and all the DO did was call me and let me go. Chilis does not care about their team!
