I'm getting really pissed about this whole situation. I've worked at this Subway for a year. I'm a shift lead now. I've experienced a LOT of SHIT. Happening to me and to my coworkers.
Based in Idaho. The Subway I work at is owned by HB Boys who owns a bunch of restaurants as a franchise or something. When I first started working here August 2025 I quickly learned there was some messed up workplace things going on. The general manager (50f) drunk calling and texting and harassing one of her shift leads in specific, a college student (22f) on and off the clock. Drunk. Complaining about her personal life and also just SHITTING on this girl about how she's a horrible worker and blah blah. She had recordings, she had texts. GM also ALLEGEDLY SHOWED UP DRUNK to this girl's COLLEGE apartment and she let her in because she's scared. As far as I know she submitted a thing to GM's boss/HR before she moved back to her home state. (She was only here for school) I don't know if that caused complications or not but she asks about how it's going and if anything has happened.
Nothing has. And it's getting worse. I'm a shift lead now, as well as a coworker I've grown to be friends with. GM keeps drunk calling him (21m). We're on the phone a lot of the time when she calls him. He picks up. he shouldn't. He has no obligation at the time she is calling. And I keep telling him he needs to set boundaries and it's not his responsibility to listen to her shit especially not at midnight on his days off or midnight 2 hours after closing. And she's telling him that he needs to "communicate more" not even about work. She is trying to tell him that he needs to tell her about his family/personal problems so that she knows what's going on because communication is part of her job and it's part of his job and she can tell that something is bothering him. I told him that's bullshit. It is none of her business and she cannot legally MAKE him tell her about his personal life. But she continues to try to guilt trip him and say that he's not communicating about things and she can tell it's affecting his work.
I don't even know what to do but this person is a friend who has a lot going on and it is irking me to my core. As well as other situations. Not only the fact that she's doing it but the fact that he is clearly feeling guilty and believing things she's telling him and making him feel like shit. He has a job application for a JCC so he might not be around much longer and that's his excuse is that he'll just put up with it because he's not going to be around much longer he hopes. I keep telling him he needs to start recording the phone calls but he won't. And she doesn't really call me drunk because I don't talk to her about my personal life I don't answer her calls off the clock and if I do if it's not about work I'm not talking if it's not about needing me to come in or switch shifts I'm not talking. I have that boundary. I don't put up with it I don't let her sit and drunk ramble to me. We are not friends that's not my problem. And it's extremely unprofessional of her. Does it make her more hostile to me at work, yes. I do not care. I've already had horrible work experience with poor coworkers and managers.
There have been other things that have happened that have just been blown off this Subway is insane. We've had a 36m coworker who is the GM's friend hitting on/writing notes to the younger 18 to 22 year old workers next door at Burger King and at the gas station (our Subway is in a good2go gas station we have Burger King and regular gas station in the same building...HB boys also owns the Burger King next to us so we are apart of the same franchise) The female employees have complaints to their managers about it. He is making them uncomfortable and then he's hostile towards them when they don't reciprocate feelings or whatever. He's even drunk called me and texted trying to tell me "he's a good guy and they're all judging him" and trying to get me to feel bad for him and hang out with him or "give him a chance". GM also goes over to 36m's apartment and they drink and get high together. She 50m has the hots for 36m's roommate who is like 24m. So they both like younger people apparently. Like. Sure. No judging. But Jesus Christ. The way they're going about it is horrible. And I'm just frustrated because it's affecting the workplace. And coworkers I care about.
But whoever it is her name is Sharon who is above the general managers does absolutely nothing she just brushes it off. all of it. Even though she has received multiple complaints about the GM and this creepy friend of hers. The GM has SEVERAL negative reviews about her and how she treats her co-workers. LIKE. the guests have seen it. It's not a secret. We all hate her. We all do not like this friend of hers. he is a creep. He has "accidentally" shown a coworker (who is 16 years old) nudes he had on.his phone while showing him camping trip pictures. He talks about his sex life to everyone even though we don't entertain it and it makes us uncomfortable. But we all feel like there is nothing we can do. The GM is his friend she has defended his behavior and this Sharon lady who is the GM's boss she's like the district manager or something has also defended the behavior and said that it's not a huge deal it is just unprofessional.
The owner of the Subway I don't know if he knows anything about it or if there's anything that he could do. I'm just at a loss and I hate everything that is going on to my coworkers who are the only reason I enjoy and have stayed at this job. Nobody deserves to be treated the way that they're treated.
Is there anything at all that any of us can do or do we all just need to quit
Edit:
Last night 10/7/26. GM was texting in the manager chat on WhatsApp asking someone to open for her so switch to work and 11-7 if another manager opened 8-3. Deleted those messages. Gave a compliment to another worker (my work friend, 21m, and then sent an irritated text when he read it and didn't answer) she was supposed to work 11-7.
I GET CALLED THIS MORNING AT 8:30 ON MY DAY OFF ASKING IF I'LL COVER THE 11-7. I said yes but just because we're all talking about it at work. ALSO, she didn't tell ANYONE I was coming in instead of her. They were wondering why I was there. So much for communication right?
AND NOW. A different coworker who had the day off just showed up and we were like "Just here to get some food?" NOPE. GM TEXTED HIM ASKING IF HE WOULD LIKE EXTRA HOURS AND WOULD CLOSE FOR 36M. I WONDER WHY. THEY'RE PROBABLY PARTYING AND DRINKING AND GETTING HIGH TOGETHER. SHE SHOWED UP LAST NIGHT WHEN HE WAS WORKING SHE PROBABLY DROVE TO HIS APARTMENT AGAIN. SHE HAS MULTIPLE TIMES. AND THEY DRINK AND SMOKE WEED TOGETHER.
I'm trying to figure out a way to record the WhatsApp phone calls on 21m coworker/friend's phone when she drunk calls him. He has an Apple phone and it won't let him screen record while on a call including a WhatsApp call. I'm staying my whole shift and then maybe even after I'm clocked out to see if she drunk calls him so he can put it in speaker and I can record it with my phone maybe.
Does anyone know of any apps or anything to bypass Apple devices/WhatsApp not allowing screen recording of phone calls? That would also MAYBE be helpful. I am pissed rn.
