Pizza Hut Worker Fired for Reporting Mice

Posted at 6:35 am under Odd

Hmmmm… Something seems fishy here, and it isn’t the anchovies on the pizza…

Health inspectors closed a Pizza Hut restaurant in east Raleigh after a worker found live mice inside it. The employee who notified the health department about the mice says she was fired for reporting the problem.

[...]

That employee called the Wake County Health Department, and an inspector ordered the Pizza Hut closed. The inspector also pulled the restaurant’s permit so it can’t operate until the rodent problem is corrected.

I don’t know… I tend to find that people who report their bosses to OSHA, the Health Department, and all these other agencies are usually doing so out of spite for something. I don’t know if it’s the case here, but I do find it odd that an employee at a restaurant would endanger their job and the jobs of others without some kind of bone to pick.

Something in my gut tells me that this is one of those cases where the employee was having a rough go of it and decided to get back at the boss; the boss then picked up on it and fired her ass. I really don’t know that to be the case, but I’d be utterly stunned if it wasn’t.
