Support Shakayla and Teens After Job Loss
Donation protected
I Shakayla Dixon , (As of yesterday ) Manager of Burgerking in Clinton Ms , received a phone call yesterday from my District leader , Area Manager on a 3 way call , stating they didn’t want to turn something good into something bad , but they had concerns .
The concerns were me having my son working for me , me paying the boys the required pay (the same as every new hire gets paid) and the amount of hours worked weekly .
These boys along with myself and upper management were sooo excited to shine the light on the youth , the company , and our community , but now, where do we go from here.
As of yesterday July 9 , 2024 , we are all in disbelief that after all we have done , all the people we have talked to, all the interviews we have went on , all the food we have made , had come to and end .
How will we now buy school clothes ?
Will we quickly get another job ?
How will i Pay mortgage , Car insurance and take car of my day to day Expenses ?
Were do we go from here ?
Was it even good idea to even hire the youth for the summer ?
Was it a good idea to tell my mom yes i want to work for her ?
How do i explain to the boys that what we thought was good , really turned into something bad , and now we are all jobless because of it .
When the article first took off and went viral , one of the team members at the store informed the district leader about it , since then , the company as a whole has been ingaged with setting up interviews , sending new gear so we all will represent the company in new clothing , has even showed up to the Mayors office with us to get recognized , now everybody is saying it goes against policy . I have plenty photos , text messages and emails , that i will attach below to signify the company new before hand.
Since it went viral and was a good look for the company , everybody overlooked policy , now since somebody have to cover there own behind , policy comes into play .
Management stated in an interview that she told me to reach to the youth and hire the youth , that’s what i did .
Management , Marketing ,The Alderman, The journalist all asked how did the story began , and it was the same for each one that asked .
“ valentine , the son of BurGerking manager , hired her SON , and he put his friends on as well “
If it’s policy , policy is being broken all over the district, i feel like i was targeted .
It was never presented before hand that it was a problem with me hiring my son .
This is totally not what myself nor the teenage boys expected to happen , We have shined a whole different type of light now it is dimmed .
How do we suppose to feel about this ?
We need your help in encouraging myself and the boys that it will get better .
We need monetary donations , school supplies , school clothes , Bill donations and anything else that will help us get through this unexplainable Moment , Thank each of you in advance .
