My sons unjust treatment

Posted Fri March 14, 2008 6:31 pm, by David H. written to Pizza Hut, Inc.

Write a Letter to this Company  |  Rate this Company


My son had worked for the Chesterton Pizza Hut since it had opened as a delivery person. Last night he had a delivery at a dark location and the house had no porch light on, my son tried calling the house 3 times from his cell phone no answer. All the drivers are instructed that if there is no porch light on and you can not reach them by phone you are not to go to the door. He went back to the store and told his manager what had happened and his manager ordered him to go back and go to the door regardless. My son said it was against what he was told when he was hired, a argument occurred and needless to say my son lost and lost his job for trying to follow the rules and voicing his opinion.

Reconsider his losing his job and consider some better training for their store managers

I would suggest for him to find a job elsewhere, one that considers
the safety of their employees over the almighty dollar.

That's terrible, he was just doing what he was trained to do. You
should take it up to the EOC department. He was treated so unfairly.
Just like the lady who got fired for reporting that child pronography
criminal at the library. Tired of hearing law abiding citizens getting
fired for doing there jobs.Call the Equal Opportunity Commission in
your county.

Definitely not an EEOC issue.. by Harleycat Mon March 17, 2008 @ 1:51 PM

I agree that he deserves his job back if he didn't become nasty with
his boss when he was discussing it with him, even if his boss was in
the wrong. But, going back isn't the best situation, either. The
boss will have ill will towards him.
I agree, also, if your son is old enough, he should be writing to
Pizza Hut himself, not only to represent himself, but he will learn
that he needs to stick up for himself. With your guidance, I am sure
he could come across just appropriately as you did.

Didn't we have this same exact letter just a few weeks ago?

The corportate office doesn't care about human resources issues at the
local level. Contact the franchisee, whether a company or individual
propreitor about this issue and file a complaint with them.

Ifv your son is old enough to be delivering pizza's and driving then
he is old enough to write this letter with your help if needed.
This manager was way out of line...and I think if your son were to
follow up with a letter written by himself, it may or may not get
better results, but he will have learned how to handle such issues.

Most of the other posters are right...these jobs are a dime a dozen
and if he does not feel safe delivering under those conditions then he
can find another job.

My son delivers pizza...and his boss tells him that his safety comes
first. If a situation does not look right, keep driving and come back
to the store. He will handle the people when they call asking about
their delivery.

I think, unfortunately, he lost his job due to the argument that
ensued. In situations like that, the low level employee is the one
that's going to lost.

I think his safety is more important than this job. If they give him
his job back, who's to say it won't happen again. He's better off
looking for another job.

I had something similar happen at my first job in high school. I
worked in one of those photo booths located in a shopping center. My
manager wanted me to work late doing inventory, a task that would have
kept me there alone long after the others stores closed. I explained
that I wasn't comfortable doing that and would stay until the stores
closed and come back early in the morning to finish. I was told that
I had to stay no matter what. I ended up quitting and finding another
job within a week.

You're not the only one.. by Harleycat Sat March 15, 2008 @ 12:13 PM

If your son is a minor, then I'm fine with your writing this letter on
his behalf. I don't want this to come across the wrong way, but jobs
like his are a dime a dozen. Lots of jobs are. I've worked some
myself. This is a good sign: His employer wasn't looking out for his
safety. What if something horrible had happened if he tried to
redeliver?

Be thankful your son is no longer working there. He can find a job
delivery food pretty easily.

I have to agree, especially when delivering to people's houses. by Gino Sat March 15, 2008 @ 1:54 AM

But if he listened to his boss by ~Fiƒi-la-ƒlea~ Sat March 15, 2008 @ 5:26 PM

by SuzieCat Posted Fri March 14, 2008 @ 7:42 PM

Employment issues really do not belong on a public site. If your son
is old enough to work, he is old enough to dispute his own issues.

He should review any paperwork he received upon hire to see if this
rule is in writing.Next steps are to contact the district manager or
human resources to appeal the issue.

Ask your son a question before he, or you go any further. was he
released for not going back to the house? Or was he released for wards
or tone he used while aruging with his manager?

If he he was released for words, tone, etc during the argument, he is
out of luck.
