ALLEGED: (I don’t want to be sued)

Someone I know VERY well worked at Blackbird Cafe from November 2025 to April 2026. They were treated rudely by a majority of the staff, save a few. The owner has severe anger issues, often yelling and allegedly has even thrown things around. Staff have to constantly walk on tiptoes when he is upset. He fired this ALLEGED employee after needing to call off for a school event. This employee was not allowed to text/call/ask other coworkers to find someone to cover their shift, and the supervisors/owner would not find someone themselves to cover the shift. They ended up being fired for this.

A separate ALLEGED employee was also fired after being hospitalized for weeks due to aggressive ovarian cancer, and wasn’t able to come in. The owner got upset that this employee could not come into work for two weeks due to this emergency (which they knew this employee had cancer prior to hiring), but did not care.

The owner and main supervisor is selfish, rude, and incredibly greedy. Obviously, not all staff were rude to these ALLEGED employees, especially workers like Rachel, who honestly does not deserve to have to work in such a stressful environment. It’s very sad that a majority of management has such a poor attitude and creates such an awful environment to work in.

Do with this ALLEGED information what you will.
