Flores said she began working at the restaurant in August 2020, after losing her job as a representative for Capitol One at the beginning of the pandemic. She said she had worked in restaurants before, including other Burger King locations, and was prepared for the job, but was surprised by the behavior of upper management. It was pretty hectic. They were already short-staffed (in August) and the general manager was pretty loud and crazy, very argumentative, said Flores, who was promoted to general manager in January after that employee left. As I became general manager, it got more crazy. I had multiple different bosses.
Burger King workers announce resignation with a sign outside restaurant: ‘We all quit’ Marisa Iati After about nine workers quit their jobs at a Burger King restaurant in Lincoln, Neb., nearly simultaneously in June, some of them changed the location s marquee sign to explain why the restaurant would probably be understaffed. (Rachael Flores) Two employees took turns on the ladder, climbing up and down to painstakingly remove the block letters from the marquee sign outside a Burger King location. Letter by letter, they added a new message. The candid note, posted Saturday outside the restaurant in Lincoln, Neb., was the employees’ way of expressing in no uncertain terms that they had had enough enough of management, enough of understaffing and enough of the scorching-hot kitchen that at one point allegedly hospitalized a worker with dehydration.

LINCOLN, Neb. â Workers at Burger King in Nebraska quit their jobs using the fast-food restaurantâs sign and a photo of the blunt resignation has now gone viral.
The sign outside the Lincoln restaurant read, âWE ALL QUITâ and âSORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE,â but the letters have since been taken down.
Two of the former employees told local TV station KLKN that they quit because of issues with upper management.
One of those workers was former general manager Rachael Flores, who told KLKN that employees had to work in the kitchen with no air conditioning for weeks, and the temperature in the room reached more than 90 degrees at one point.
