South Dakota teen claims manager forced him to wear ‘Gaytard’ name tag at fast food job

34. which manager?

The one accused or the one that was involved in the joking around with nicknames and name tags?

The manager that was accused is the son of the franchise owner. He isn't in any position to get fired or quit and just walk away. Dad would kick his ass.

The manager involved in the joking around was likely about the same age as the accuser and indeed acted horribly unprofessionally... but whose to know when they're the manager on duty and the kids that work under him enjoy his joking around. When the bigger professional boss isn't there the unprofessional managers have pretty much free reign to be joking around with the staff.

I worked in a lot of places just like that when I felt like I was the only professional in the building. It's really irritating. I also worked at one place where the son of the owner was basically forced to work there doing all the crap jobs until his dad made him a night manager despite his wanting nothing to do with it. The son was by far the most professional manager there because he knew Dad would clean his clock, throw him out of the house, etc. if he wasn't. I still smile at how thrilled he must have been when his Dad sold the business. I hope he's finally out from under his father's thumb and pursuing the career he actually wanted.
