There was a big news sensation about Burger King workers quitting en masse in Lincoln, Nebraska. All 11 Burger King employees quit because: “We became essential,” Johnson said. “And then we weren’t treated essential by upper management.” From what was reported, they had to endure 8-hour shifts without breaks in very hot conditions. One employee was even hospitalized for dehydration, and then was called a ‘baby’ by management. WTF. The funny thing is that we hear the standard empty motivational tripe that you’re so essential, and you’re so valuable to us.
