Am I an asshole for wanting to go to a different franchise location?
I'm genuinely considering applying to another location that's ran by an old manager of mine. Ever since that manager left who ill call Carl, the work atmosphere is more hostile and nothing ever gets done. The restaurant will be a mess, the garbage overflows in the back, and the sink (ALL THREE SIDES!!) will be filled with dirty dishes. When Carl was with us, working there was somewhat tolerable cause he was friendly with everyone and knew when and how to get shit done.
Plus there's this one kid who I'm constantly cleaning up after who doesn't ever do his job right. He'll leave the place a mess and not do his job while talking and goofing off. I'll come in for overnight and bug me and say "WiLl YoU cOmE cHeCk mY sTuFf?" and dip the fuck out. Carl even said to all of us when he left we were free to come work with him if we wanted. Everyone liked Carl. Some even brought him Thanksgiving plates back in November.
Should I go apply and work with Carl?
