No Sandwich in The World is That Important 

Amen! My former employer wouldn’t let me take off 2 days to go to Ft Campbell KY. To see my oldest son get home from Afghanistan! He was a combat medic in the 101st Airborne. I was a supervisor, well I went anyway! Sooo glad I did. It was emotional for sure. Got back on Monday, they were gonna demote me!! I laid the keys to my free company truck down along with my name tag, told them where to stick it!! Next day I started my own company!! That was 2013.

They did you dirty bro. Thats f'd up.

My father passed away a couple weeks ago. I didn't miss a minute of work because he would have been mad at me for using him as an excuse to be lazy. I didn't realize how toxic it was until I started typing this.

compassionate management is so vital, makes for better business and grateful employees

Oh wow I used to work for Jersey Mike’s and some of the Managers can be a bit insensitive but I’m glad you found a place for you where people are more understanding. Congratulations on 10 years I was only at my location for a year.

For me, a Jersey Mike's sub makes everything better. My local Jersey Mike's is like family to me because I have come to know all of them. When I had COVi-D, I was sick at home and my mom brought me a sub from Jersey Mike's and "Get Well Soon TJ" was written on it. I started crying.

Yeah some places can be so cold, and they really take advantage of people that need the money. Glad you're in a better place now.

Well said. You're an outstanding person. I will always support your channel.

Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏🏾

I support this channel because of the delicious-looking sandwiches but after hearing this video this is one of the biggest reasons I support this channel because of the big heart of this gentleman I wish you health and prosperity on this channel!

You’re a real one bro. Love sent your way.

Man you are amazing for telling the individual to take as much time as they need. Every single person grieves differently. The sad aspect on this matter is, most big industries you bereavement pay for so many days depending on the relationship with the lost loved one. And in my eyes, I think that it should be a law for ALL businesses and corporations to give you paid bereavement without any question or harassment. I know it has been a while since your Grandmothers passing, but SORRY for the loss. Hope you always have GREAT memories of her and smile.

You quartered the sub, very nice. Chef here for a restaurant with limited staff. I feel your pain but admire your work ethic. Made you stronger brother❤

The car doesnt run without the engine. The people make the tires move. Got to take care of the people

Sorry for your loss man..... You are a master of your craft I love you guys

Here's my story crazy SG. My grandfather passed. I went into work. Stone faced. Turned out that me not wanting to tell anyone wouldn't pass. The man who got me that job was also a pastor on Sundays. The same man was appointed to lead the procession at my grandfather's funeral. He took the time to call my boss and tell him about that passing. When I went into work J my boss says I'm sorry about your grandfather E. I remember making that sound like you got punched and the wind is knocked from you. Crying I says to him ya know I came to work today thinking it'd get my mind off things. He made sure to tell every employee I worked with that night, hey, E is going to need some patience from all you guys tonight. Chuuuch

Some Ppl have no sympathy or compassion

I guess I wasn’t raised so nice…Grandma somewhere appreciated that.

Why did I just watch this while hungry? Off to jersey mikes

I worked for a horrible Franchisee for Jersey Mike's. I was a hired to be an assistant manager and worked there for about a month and I got really sick. I had a fever of 104.2 and actually was hospitalized and missed about a week. When I came back they fired me and said call offs was not allowed in my probation period.

Bless you for doing that despite what happened in your life.

Everyone is important!

Most businesses these days are run trying to minimize costs to the last nickel, particularly labor. But a well run business will have some grease in extra resources so if a manager goes down and they have a big order, they can flex and manage.

F..k that. Jobs are out there. Family is everything. You are only going to be with them once... here on earth. Sorry for your loss. I have been there, but I learned the hard way. I'm 57yr.

Knowing me I would have told them to f*** themselves and I would have not gone in but you know I understand that you needed the job at the time and you know you were very strong for hanging in there for that shift but honestly they should have just gave you a couple days man you know cuz losing your grandmother is like losing the extension of your mother or father's mother you know and that's like almost like a parent as well too.

Bosses cant wait to remove the human element from the work force. God bless you bro we need more men and women of character in the world.

Damn, the thing is, they expect you to leave your problems at the door so they have room to give you some, that management in a nutshell now days

Sounds about right for corporate life….

Sorry you had to go thru that! I bet ya if that GM grandma passed away he wouldn't have been at work. So sad that some people are donkeys 😢

I've always viewed it that *you are doing your employer a favor by telling them in advance that you won't be in* nothing else should be expected. You aren't a slave. It isn't a "request" for time off. Take the time off that you feel that you need.

I didn’t leave work when my dad passed away. Why? Because he will be just as dead after my shift as he was right then. Unless you can CHANGE the situation or there is a child that needs cared for that’s without supervision there’s not any reason to leave work.

Jersey Mike's are Great! M sorry about your grandma buddy...

Yep! My boss made me come in on the Monday of Thanksgiving week in 2019 after my dad passed VERY unexpectedly on the Saturday before! Who does that???

Most places I've worked, if they could have figured out how to make $1 more throwing me into the woodchipper, I'd be chips now.

Jersey giant in toledo on monroe gonna hit them up on my bike ride. Mike's with mayo of course lol

No job is worth neglecting your family when someone passes away

That's f*cked up... now I want a sandwich.

I've worked for places like that... Oh, WTF! You didn't cut all the way through that sub looked at it and put it back in there like that. Dude, thats a real Pet Peve, that can mess up a day.

Duty calls.

Hey Jersey Mike's Corporate People watching these videos - PLEASE BRING PEOPLE LIKE THIS to the Coweta/Fayette GA area. YOU know the area, you know the issue I'm talking about. Please.

I remember once when I was so sick that I couldn't even stand up and the employer was laying into me on the phone to go in. Like, i was not driving 40 miles when the world was spinning to go shine a flashlight at some fucking teenagers making out in the bushes behind a data center for minimum wage....

Sandwich would have been better on the grill.

My grandma is in the hospital. Hug your grandmas yall and fuck bad bosses

$20 for an Italian sub……….thats Bidenomics in action 👀

You should have had 3 days off, minimum!

Tom green subway order do it

Forget your family, just make sandwiches! what kind of bullshit is this?

We have all had grandparents pass away. Yes, it does suck. But if it causes you to break down at work and seriously cry for multiple days in a row then I agree with the managers that you need to get yourself together.

Jersey Mikes is a high school job lmao if you’re still working there in your 20s you need to reevaluate your life 😂
