Burger King workers’ public message to bosses goes viral

A team of tired Burger King employees went public with their beef with their bosses – with a simple message on the fast food mecca’s billboard that has since gone viral.

“WE’RE ALL STOPPING,” the sign outside the Lincoln, Nebraska restaurant said, KLKN-TV reported. “SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.”

The message, which restaurant management withdrew on Saturday, was the work of a team of disgruntled employees who decided to resign due to difficult working conditions and long working hours.

Former general manager Rachael Flores, among nine workers who hung up their aprons, said she had previously landed in hospital with dehydration after working in the scorching kitchen without air conditioning.

“They’ve been through so many district managers since I became general manager,” Flores, who started working at the restaurant in January, told KLKN. “No one came to the store to help me. They are so inside and out.

She said the idea for the sign was concocted by her staff as “just kind of a laugh for the top management,” she told the station.

“I didn’t think anyone was going to notice it because we only made one sign and then it got pretty crazy on Facebook,” she said. “I got a call from my senior management and they told me I had to withdraw it.”

Flores’ boss then told her to return her keys and she was fired, the outlet said.

Another former worker, Kylee Johnson, said she only stayed at the restaurant to help Flores, whose restaurant she said was sorely understaffed.

“I knew what was going on with the whole staff,” Johnson said. “We were just waiting for more people to come in then and we didn’t have anybody.”
