I need to mention that besides my irritation with jimmy johns policy my husband LOVES his job and is a super manager. My hate is only my hate not his. He doesn\'t want to look for another job, he\'s comfortable, and i would be fine with him working their if the sick policy wasn\'t so ***.

My husband has a fever of 101 and he needs to stay home!.He's not a little sick, he has a FEVER, is pale, looks awful and feels awful!

But instead i got into a fight with him about how he needs to stay home and rest". Nope Jimmy Johns offers no sick days, and because he's a manager he can't call on his other managers to take his place because all of them work an ungodly amount of time, 12 hour plus days.. If he doesn't show up to work even if he tells everyone he's sick he will be FIRED'. WTF?

The only way he can not to work is if he goes to the hospital, ie: if he's on his death bed, and even then they'd probably threaten him with losing his job because of the absence". I'm not even asking for PAID sick leave;. I am so furious right now I seriously hate jimmy johns and he can't even look for another job because of how many hours he works".

When you work for jimmy johns you give up your life and your family, get paid terribly and feel tired all the time!.EFFF YOU JIMMY JOHN. 30ecd53

I'm a contractor who did finish work on a new JJ in the area. I spent allot of time there after they opened, doing finishing touches. I was shocked at the hours those kids (everyone one was a kid, even the main manager. He was a punk kid, had to be right out of high school, who thought he was something great) put in, and around the clock too... anyway.... That's crazy about not letting somebody call in sick. Still a temp of 101 is not the end of the world. I've worked through much worse. He and his wife just need to learn some work ethic. Life is hard, work is harder, and you can always quite. I really could care less about the slave monkeys who work their...there sandwiches are pretty *** good :)

The thing you people need to remember - those slave monkeys who are coming to work sick are sneezing/coughing/breathing on YOUR food. The policy at the JJ's is that if you are sick, you have to try to get your shift covered, and if you can't, you either come in or it's a write-up. Jimmy also doesn't want to pay for health insurance for his employees. So the next time you go into a Jimmy John's and see some kid making your sandwich who is obviously not quite feeling so hot, remember all this. And don't cry when you get sick too.

You got that wrong, in my franchise it's, if you can't find someone to cover your shift and don't show up, you quit.

;) this is true being a manager is bad..at times but it is the responsibility we take accepting it i was a mgr at jjs and yes i was asked to bring drs note for having surgery!!!!! Ridiculous especially when the *** who requested threw it away -_- but i did have another person who covered and as soon as i came back i covered her shifrs its about communication but if you guys hate it find something else.

If your "Supper Manager" husband can't fight his own battles at the buisness he was hiref to run, maybe he should be let go! Doesn't seem he is a very strong leader. By the way, 101 is not ecactly the same as being on his death bed! :cry

I agree with all of the previous comments. Something is weird in the complaint.

I totally agree i should work outside of the home but his work schedule doesn't let me and i have two kids under two. Daycare you're saying right? So far i haven't found any jobs that pay what i would need to pay for daycare and help out with the family. I have a small ebay business right now though.

Can I call BS?

This seems to be little more than an agenda filled rant.

At the JJ's I used to manage, we simply switched shift if need be. If nobody wants to switch/cover for him, maybe he's not so "super".
