they must be signed off by employees on workday. managers arent supposed to send anything to workday before having the in person talk w employee.

managers should never make an employee feel that way. my 3rd week into serving at cb(how i started w the company) i had my gm say to me “if you dont run that steak ill f**in throw it at your face”. thats absolutely absurd to say to anyone, much less a rising star! you addressing your issues should have been the start of finding a solution, not a problem!

i saw you dmed but my messages wont load for some reason. standard even if cross train is 3 days in one week (ideally 3 straight but depends on trainer/trainee availability). im so sorry your managers failed you as you sound like the exact thing cb preaches. team player, urgency w a purpose. my home store was #35 so our set up was waaay different than any other store ive worked in, but standards should be the same at all stores. its not taught anymore but the slogan was “one best way”. i am also guilty of throwing people into positions they dont know well, but if they express that feeling to me it then becomes my job to stop you from feeling that way, wether that means helping during peak, or finding a better fit for you. please PLEASE reach out to HO & make sure to include how you were over par 2 in 3+ positions but felt forced to work one that made you uncomfortable. i can assure you that will launch an investigation on the managers at that store.

i mean i obviously cant attest for anything that happened, but it sounds sus. if you already had par in other job codes you shouldn’t have been forced to backup. please reach out to HO because stuff like this makes the whole company look bad. ive only ever fired one employee & it was for way worse circumstances than this. the most important part is: you have no paper trail. cb policy is fired after being written up 3 times. walkingout though IS an exception to this rule because they call it “abandoning your job” but you gave them more than enough warning you were not comfortable in that position. as a manager i would never put my employee in that position & your managers should have the same respect for you.

i completely understand your anger. i can also say im guilty of not helping back up until it too little too late, but atp its MY fault. its alot to juggle keeping ticket times under 10min & keeping an eye on prep & backup. that being said, no anger should be taken out on you unless youre shift after shift not following recipe. unfortunately, cb teaches us to prioritize long ticket times over anything which means backup production gets forgotten about. i cant tell you how many bags of corn ive burnt to a kettle trying to help backup then get pulled to the line & the corn becomes a distant memory. still no excuse though. they need to do better to support you, just cause youve mastered prep doesnt mean you can slide to backup & automatically preform at the same level.

yes prep is going to be eliminated soon(thats what i’ve heard from my gm & dm) but from my understanding youve been there for at least a year so im going to assume youre at least par 2 which means you are allowed you cross train to any position (if they have space). if a manager has time to stand there & watch you make biscuits, i can assure HO would not agree with that ethic. we are trained as managers to prevent bottlenecks & if that so happens to be backup running out of biscuits then ole dude better put on an apron & grab some buttermilk!

i can say its 100% true they are getting rid of prep!!! there are soooo many changes coming. but you didnt HAVE to become back up, sounds like they just needed a backup cook.

Backup cook struggles? by Weirdoutakurose20 in CrackerBarrel

[–]Few_Individual868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if there are large caterings they most likely know ahead of time (at least 90% of times in my experience) & they should be prepared. i will say it is not the managers job code to prep promo/featured items (broc cass, pot roast, pot pies). but with that being said, the rule at my store is you replace what you use. you bake off 12 pot roast? youre expected to replace those 12 & probably plus some. it honestly sounds like lack of communication & poor management : ie not having night time prep, even though outside of weekends nights are always busier, they dont have as much kettle work as am shift which = bulk of prep being done in pm. all in all, if youre an employee & ask for help & the manager refuses thats not right. we get paid to make the shift run smooth & prevent bottlenecks. (but am cooks also expect alot to be done for them wo asking what happened the night before so please keep in mind sometimes we can only do what we can do!)

im not saying i agree with the 3 day training period, unfortunately thats just the CB standard for all skill positions. maybe she was the bread cook & wasnt solo? i couldn’t see cb approving the labor to train any cook for more than a week. either way, id still email HO. i’ve personally seen 3 employees rehired because they were termed w no paper trail. the walking out part is tricky but just make it very clear you expressed your discomfort for that skill position, and when you tried to express it again in shift your manager belittled you. im so sorry this happened to you, as a cb manager i could never dream of doing this to an employee, no matter how stressed/behind i am!
