I worked for ARBY'S for 2 years as a manager and was moving up the ranks. When I notified my general manager that I had become pregnant it began a chain reaction. I had for at least 1 year took care of the ordering of all products, hiring of employees, some payroll, inventory, etc....
Well soon after telling my boss that I was pregnant I lost every single responsibility I had except writing names on time cards. I was very unhappy with this situation but had to stick it out because I had a child coming and needed the insurance to cover the pregnancy. A few months went by and I began to have complications with my pregnancy, I received doctors notes stating I needed to take breaks.
Knowing the situation ARBY'S then transfered me to a higher volume store which did 3 times more business, this part is funny, they said I would be able to do less work there. NOT TRUE! The first week there I was hit in the stomache numerous times, it was an accident but I should not have been put in that situation.
I believe that all this stress caused me to have so many problems with my pregnancy. I spoke to my doctor about the contractions I was having, she gave me another note stating I needed to take a break every 2 hours for 15 mins. Needless to say I was constantly refused breaks and when I called his supervisor to complain I received no help.
The following day I received a phone call from the human resources division, they informed me that I had been brought up on sexual harrasment charges, I WAS 7 MONTHS PREGNANT! I could not believe my ears! I hung up on them and told them they would have to deal with my attorney and walked out! I reported ARBY'S to the EEOC I hope they will help soon it's been 9 months now and it's still under investigation.

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
SYBRA Liars!
AUTHOR: Jerseyguy - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, December 18, 2007
I feel really bad for you, after reading your letter. I worked for a SYBRA store in PA for almost 1-1/2 yrs as a 1st Assistant Manager. I'll tell you this, it was the worst job I had ever had in 30 yrs. I was promised these bonuses and raises when I started. My "base pay" became my salary. Lies from the get go and it got worse. I was told about promotions and moving up in the ranks. BS! We recorded record sales my first year and I was lucky if I got a couple hundred dollars. Our pay plan was changed. I was originally getting time and a half for overtime, but it was changed to less than "half time". I sometimes was making $4.00 an hour, especially if I had to close. I contacted the local Labor Board and was told that they could do this. Why? I wasn't in charge of hiring or firing. I did ordering, inventory and basically the crew person duties, that you're familiar with. It was finally the last straw when I was given a .12 cent an hour raise. I told the Area Supervisor that was the lowest raise I had ever received in over 30 years. It was disgusting and insulting. I told him to take it back and I don't accept it. I'd rather have gotten no raise. I never missed a day, but I had one incident where my drawer was $8.00 short. That was brought up when I confronted the Area Supervisor. Can't believe I wasted my time there. I left in March 2007 and since then; the GM, Manager and Area Supervisor have left the company. I wonder why? I never pursued the "half time" issue any further, should I have? Good luck in whatever you're doing now. I hope you're still not working for this bunch of liars and cheats.
