Eh, not really sure what she is suing taco bell for. They fired the people involved, who then harassed her (but they’re fired so…). Some of the people she still worked with were pissy that she narced, so they then harassed her. Taco bell then offered to move her to another location. Sounds to me like taco bell did what they could for her…
Yeah, I said that… Those would be the people she still worked with that were pissy she narced…
Taco bells job is to provide a safe work environment, which they did by offering to move her to another location to combat this.
That’s not strategy bud, that’s American workplace law. Not sure what you do in your country, but here when there are claims of harassment, you provide a safe work environment. Obviously since claims of harassment are hard to substantiate unless there are eye witnesses or video evidence, moving them to a location they couldn’t be harassed was the best idea. Not sure how you equate whatever you are trudging up with the Catholics to this workplace issue. Sounds a bit idiotic to me but…whatever.
This is indeed the correct thing to do, if the harassment can be verified or is at a level that merits such termination.
I once was involved in a disciplinary case where a group of unionized employees claimed one employee was harassing them by having a bad odor every day. They put to their steward that this was a hostile work environment. I documented several times where I personally talked to the employee, never smelt a thing.
Should I have fired or moved that employee?
A lot of people here make quite a few assumptions on the extremely limited info provided…
Umm, no. Someone being forced to move to a different location based on accusations is about as silly as firing them over accusations. They can and will file a complaint with the state labor board.
Have any of you actually worked before…?
I’m pretty sure you insinuated that Taco Bell should handle criminal harassment in another post, so I’m going to go ahead and just assume you’re a troll and not reply.
That’s cool. When you do get into the workforce, you’ll find it’s never as black and white as it seems. I’ve run into just as many people claiming victim when in reality they are the problem. Not saying that is the case with this person, but moving everyone that they claim is harassing them is foolish and leaves your company open to retaliation claims.
Now you know.
How so? I doubt the employees are going to be shitty to a new hire that didn’t “rat” on anyone.
Bad work relationships exist everywhere and one valid solution is to split the offending parties up. That’s not “leaving the problem” as is, it’s an active attempt to address the problems at hand.
If they’re shitty to a person that reported something like this then they’re shitty people who will be shitty to everyone. Fire the lot, start that Taco Bell over. Pull the franchise from the owner over it and sell it to someone else as well
I guess it is rocket surgery. Harassment isn’t a “bad work relationship,” it’s a crime. If you and I worked together and I broke a window on your car and instead of me getting fired and/or arrested, you get moved to another branch, you cannot tell me you wouldn’t feel cheated at the very least.
CORRECT, certain levels of harassment ARE CRIMINAL. Then guess who gets to deal with that level of harassment? *Hint- It’s not taco bell
EDIT: I had to come back on this one and ask, did you even read your own post? Are you really saying it’s taco bells job to get involved in criminal harassment? Are you trolling…?

Associates of those fired created issues. Those associates were (and remain?) employees.

You’ve got a bright future in the Catholic Church with those strategies.

Moving the harassers to different locations is the proper thing to do instead.
No. Terminating the harasser is the proper thing to do. And contact local law enforcement if there was any criminal conduct.
Moving the harasser means they’ll continue their actions somewhere else.

But you were perfectly fine moving the victim??

Ah yes, the catholic priest strategy.
Vastly different because the harassers were co-workers, not bosses like priests essentially are.
Moving an abusive individual to another place so they can continue their abuse isn’t vastly different but you do you
How is moving the victim even remotely the same as that?
Because you left the problem in a position to do the bad thing to someone else. It’s not rocket surgery.
