I was previously a manager of a fast-food chain for the past 3 years. I had never been reprimanded for any reason. Never written up, nor have I ever been demerited in any way. I show up to work on time, usually early. Stay as late as needed. About a week ago, the franchise owner asked to speak to me. He then told me I was being demoted from manager to new hire status; I was transferred to another store and not permitted back even as a customer. No papers were drawn up or signed and his reasons were fairly weak. Such as not having my cell phone on my day off.
