You wouldn't think this kind of mistreatment of our military would still be occurring in 2011. Yet it does.
I would like to let others know how Winco Foods in Eagle, ID treats their military employees. The management suspended his employment for missing the day he was enlisting in the United States Military.
Even though he let Winco know 2 days ahead that he needed the day off to be at the MEPS (military enlistment processing station) all day. He was having physical, mental and back ground checks done that took all day. He also took the oath and swore in to the United States Marine Corps that day.
He called his supervisor Tony that day from the MEPS and was told his shift was covered. The next week the main store manager, Linda Chandler suspended him, in writing, for missing the day he enlisted in the military.
Prior to this, Tony had cut his hours by 75% once he told Tony he was intending on joining the military after high school graduation. He repeatedly wrote notes asking the main manager Linda Chandler to contact him concerning his hours being cut. Ms Chandler said it is not her job to contact employees. Imagine being treated like that? After being mistreated and bullied by these two employees he felt forced to quit.
These two managers are nothing more than adult bullies. We have sent a formal complaint to Winco Corporate and nothing has been done so far. Winco Corporate will not return letters, email, and our phone calls concerning this matter. The Marines have also repeatedly called Winco Corporate office and they do not get called back either.
Who would want to work at a place that is basically trying to force you out anyway? Who would want to shop at this store when they don't support our military?
I feel that people should be aware of how this store management treats employees, especially one that is going on to support and defend our country!
Shame on you Winco of Eagle Idaho and especially managers Linda Chandler and Tony!!!
I will never shop in that store again until or if these two employees are fired! Many of our friends and family are doing the same.
