McDonald\u2019s employee fired after being arrested on shift for violating probation The New York TimesA McDonald\u2019s employee has recounted the horrifying story of how they got arrested on shift after ignoring police request to return home for violating probation. The employee claims to have taken the job whilst still on probation after being released from prison, but they weren\u2019t sure if their manager knew this. When the employee received a call from the police and was asked to return home, their manager allegedly told them to, \u201cgo back to work\u201d which prompted the police to come and arrest the employee on-site. Manager told the employee to \u201cgo back to work\u201d after receiving call from the police It all started as a normal day at work for this McDonald\u2019s employee, until they claimed that their colleague received a phone call asking if the employee on probation was on shift that day. The former employee, who shared that they had reportedly been on the run for up to five years in the past, panicked and told their manager that they were on probation and that the police were looking for them. Instead of freaking out, the manager apparently ensured the employee that they would not tell the police that this person was on shift and that they should just \u201cgo back to work\u201d as normal. The manager even went as far as telling the employee who had answered the phone that they shouldn\u2019t have revealed the person on probation was at work. Things escalated, though, when the employee on probation got a call from their Mom saying that the police had arrived at their house, which was a short distance from the McDonald\u2019s store. Apparently, they were being arrested for failing three drug tests and were planning on turning themselves in at their next probation meeting. The whole incident came to a head when the employee explains that, \u201cThe police came in, four of them, three not in uniform and one with khakis and sheriff vest. They make their way to back booth and take me out the back door. I no longer have a job now.\u201d The former employee was left feeling angry with their manager as they were reportedly told to continue their shift instead of surrender themselves to the police. The former employee states that they didn\u2019t know they would be fired if they were arrested at work, saying, \u201cShe didn\u2019t tell me \u2018Hey if you get arrested on premises you will be terminated.’\u201d Although it is not clear what repercussions the McDonald\u2019s employee faced for violating their probation, they definitely experienced one of the worst days at work ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
