Cool boss - Luke Benjamin
No, make that cold boss. From Seattle station
KING5:
Pizza employees ordered to work in the cold
LACEY, Wash. – Employees of a pizza delivery shop say the owners has cut off the heat in the store. And they say if the workers don’t like it, they can leave.
Dan Baxter, who works at the Pizza Time in Lacey, says he expects to be fired for talking to KING 5 News about this.
“When it’s really, really cold, like when it’s 19 (degrees) outside, it will be 25 in the store,” said Baxter.
So what about using the ovens to heat the place?
“The ovens create a little bit of heat, but the exhaust fans pull it all out,” said Baxter.
And the boss:
Owner Luke Benjamin stands by his chilly stance.
“They know where they work. If they can’t deal with it then there are plenty of other jobs out there,” said Benjamin.
And the real story:
The temperature was 55 degrees when we went in on Friday, but we saw something else. There’s a space heater in the office where Benjamin’s wife – the real boss – runs her accounting business.
Then we get to the real truth of the matter.
“It doesn’t look good, but she’s my wife and my boss and she tells me what she’s going to do and I’m not going to argue with her,” said Benjamin.
Not only is the guy whipped, he is taking it out on his employees.
Schmuck.
