Arby’s Workplace Complaint Reports Manager Bullying and Unprofessional Behavior

I am writing regarding serious concerns about the conduct of a manager named Arianna at the Arby’s located on Liberia Avenue in Manassas. A 16‑year‑old employee who started working there around September 21 has been experiencing ongoing unfriendly and rude behavior from Arianna. From the beginning, Arianna has not provided proper training, yet still expects this employee to know how to perform all job duties. Instead of supporting new staff, she talks down to them and makes them feel inadequate and belittled. In addition to her rude attitude, Arianna has disclosed confidential information about employees to other staff members within the company. This is highly inappropriate and creates a toxic and unsafe work environment. There are also times when her behavior appears discriminatory toward certain individuals, which is deeply concerning. Because of the way she treats people, some employees are afraid to speak up about what is happening because they do not want to lose their jobs. Corporate was contacted about this situation today, but the employee never had a real chance to explain everything to the manager from the Falls Church corporate office who originally hired her. I believe Arianna’s conduct harms both the employees and the Arby’s brand, and her negative attitude does not reflect the standards a manager should uphold. I respectfully request that this situation be formally investigated and that serious action be taken regarding Arianna’s position, including removing her from this managerial role and employing someone who can lead in a professional, respectful, and supportive manner. I want the young employees and the rest of the staff at this location to feel safe, respected, and able to work without fear of retaliation.
