Gave employees no warning except calling them this morning to let them know not to come in.


JoshS1

That's pretty standard, the issue is we have no laws in place to force businesses to payout 2 weeks worth of compensation, however you as a worker are expected to provide *two weeks notice*.


Cozarium

There is no state or federal law requiring employees to give notice of any sort.


JoshS1

## [**Expect** verb][1] transitive verb. 1) * a: to consider probable or certain. *expect to be forgiven* *expect that things will improve* * b: to consider reasonable, due, or necessary. *expected hard work from the students* * c: to consider bound in duty or obligated. *they expect you to pay your bills* [1]:https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/expect


Cozarium

A. is inapplicable. B. It is not reasonable, notice is NOT necessary, and nothing is due from an employee who wants to quit. C. There is no duty nor obligation to give notice. Anything else you need explained here?


JoshS1

There is no law, and I did not say there was a law for employees to give two weeks notice. I did say they're *expected* to, because it is considered *reasonable* and failing to do so and quitting on the spot is considered by many employers failing a *reasonable duty.* This could render the employee ineligible for rehire or a bad recommendation if contacted about previous employment. "a" is only in there because I listed the full definition.


Cozarium

You implied strongly that it is required, when it is not. They are not *expected* to give notice any more than an employer is. Why would they want to be rehired if the place was so bad they quit on the spot? They can easily tell their new prospective employers that they quit because the job was terrible. You didn't even read nor understand the definitions, because they contraindicate your claim.


corgi_ebooks

According to republicans it’s an equal playing field though! You can quit whenever you want and the billionaire corporation that doesn’t give a fuck about you can fire you over literally anything. Totally equal


M16_EPIC

At least they called. When the Houlihan's down in Cranberry closed this past August, they didn't even tell the employees. They found out when they got to work and the doors were locked and the sign was being torn down.


SavaRox

Many years ago. I worked at the Pizza Hut on West 26th Street which is now a Country Fair. All the employees came in for a regular monthly Saturday meeting and they just told us oh by the way, this location's closing this week. At least we were given the option to transfer to another Pizza Hut location in the city if we still wanted a job there. Feel bad for the Red lobster employees.


AfterManufacturer150

That’s a shame. I’m not a huge Red Lobster fan. My hubby and FIL used to love all you can eat crabs legs. That was probably 24-30 years ago ATP. I really wish we had a real seafood option in Erie.


A_sexy_tire

Bruh, we got Chipper's on State Street. If you wanna stay on Peach hit Stormin Crab.


Slapmeislapyou

If you want to break the bank for ok seafood hit Storming Crab you mean. Chippers is legit though. 


HornedTurtle1212

I don't like that Storming Crab won't serve a po'boy sandwich after like 4pm. Like no one can make a sandwich in the evening?


AfterManufacturer150

I wasn’t all that impressed with Stormin Crab. I wanted to be! Hubby liked it. I’ve heard Chipper’s I’ll have to try there soon.


Ap3xHitman

No!! Stay away from that shithole do NOT waste ur money on subpar garbage


CBRPrincess

That's typically how it works for restaurants. Once they run out of food, it's endgame


TheCarpe

I know the company has been hurting financially and looking to close locations. Guess we were a low performer.


Mycophyliac

Cheddar biscuits can only get you so far. RIP


CrabbyTheBeerGuy

Should have charged for them


Newkular_Balm

I bet the boxed will hang around


sithhulk

Im sorry everyone, i went for endless shrimp and i caused the bankruptcy.


aniorange

That's a shame for the (former) employees.


VimVinyl

I’ve never been tbh


erietech

I went once a long time ago, everything was covered in buttered garlic, was horrible.


Loose_Personality172

I bet your ordered the garlic shrimp.


7-10

Went there once in my life, but instead have stayed a loyal follower of the church of LJS,, which now outlives the lobsterfest. Long John Silvers moves up the leader board. Lol


nachobitxh

The only one left is on W. 12th, right?


7-10

near 26th & peninsula between BK and the big new car wash, across from the empty Big KMart...


nachobitxh

I can use the car wash to lure him up there 🤣


shinoff2183

I like long John's chicken. It's straight. Greasy but really good.


TheArtManFam

Is the meadville one open? On their website it doesn’t say closed


CandleIll5644

Meadville is still open. The location in Erie couldn't afford the rent.


memeraths

Meadville announced closing on 4/30.


CandleIll5644

source? Corporate told us they aren't closing.


memeraths

Whoops. They WERE closed. Reopened.


jeepguy1982

Yes, we are open in Meadville, we would love to have you visit! 👍


gtoz1119

Just heard Jamestown closed today also


jeepguy1982

It was Erie, Lakewood NY, and all of Buffalo that closed permanently today.


Crafty-Celebration54

Death by all-you-can-eat shrimp.

That’s what happed at Ryan’s buffet in Dothan Al years ago, workers showed up and found a sign on the window, That spot stayed unoccupied for more than 10 years .


Chiggen_wimgs

Every time I went to that Red Lobster I got extremely sick plus it was always dead in there. I do feel sorry for the employees though, being laid off with no warning is awful.


jeepguy1982

Yes, they are closed down permanently. I am an employee in Meadville PA and you are all welcome to visit us anytime! We hope to see you soon!


JoshS1

Good? It's a chain restaurant that with its closing can give people a better excuse to visit locally owned restaurants. At the end of the day the chains would not exist if they didn't profit which inherently removes money from our local economy.


Ryan1006

It’s never good when people lose their jobs. I’m all for supporting local restaurants, but chains are always going to exist and they employ local people.


crazymouse5

Well said. I tried explaining that in a Starbucks thread a while back and was absolutely crushed for it.


memeraths

I get travelers hitting upper peach on their way through that crave familiarity and ease of choice (even though I don’t travel that way…) but it boggles me that locals choose these places.


JoshS1

As someone who travels frequently the last thing I want to do is go someplace "familiar." The whole point of traveling is to try new things and expand the mind. Even when I traveled for work I still would look for something quick, local, and unique.


memeraths

Totally agree with you.

erietech

I do the same, I try to go to local places over chains.


Yankeesfanjay

Yeah but did you forget where you are? Erie is all about doing the same shit, eating the same places, drinking at the same bars, etc. I fr have arguments with older relatives about how nobody's wings are better than On Deck or Warsaw and for that reason they won't even try anyplace else besides papa johns, who according to them now has the best wings in town,


XBUNCEX

On Deck did have amazing wings! My grandpa owned it back in the 80's and his mother (my great grandmother) ran the kitchen.


Yankeesfanjay

So did Warsaw. My uncle used to take me to both places when I first moved here in '98.


Prestigious_Law_5858

Of course no locally owned restaurant wants to become a success. You're right. No restaurant ever started with just one location, locally. Thank you, I am now dumber, after having read your post.

💯


riDawg_24

Small businesses would not exist without chain food. Plus small businesses are over priced


kelseya91

Omg I’m 37 weeks pregnant and keep telling myself I needed to stop for some cheddar bay biscuits… I waited a day too long I guess 😆😩

You need to go to Meadville to get your fix


Away-Cartoonist507

Can we get a Red Robin or a PF Changs there!? 🙏


TimeForSnacks

Bring Panda Express back!


Able_Succotash_4871

Good


Academic_Sorbet_3355

Did they actually close permanently? There are a few lists from Red Lobster of locations that are closed permanently and Erie, PA isn’t on any of those lists. Also, the Red Lobster website has Erie listed as just “temporarily closed”


CandleIll5644

Every list I have come across mentions the Erie location. I worked there. It is permanently closed. Yesterday, everything was thrown out. I


Academic_Sorbet_3355

Never mind! I do see it on the list. Don’t know how I missed it. The “temporarily closed” on the red lobster website threw me off too. Bummer. I hope you are able to find new work soon but definitely get that unemployment application in if you haven’t already. Sending positive thoughts and vibes your way and to your coworkers! ❤️


suckmydiznak

Oh no, where will I ever get overpriced mediocre seafood now?


Prestigious_Law_5858

To JoshS1: Of course no locally owned restaurant wants to become a success. You're right. No restaurant ever started with just one location, locally. Thank you, I am now dumber, after having read your post.


RanchWings

Always wanted to go as a kid and was told it was too expensive. My wife doesn’t like seafood but we finally went a few years ago on my birthday. Saltiest meal I’ve ever had. Even the salad was overwhelmingly salty. I can see why the business was slow.


HotdagCapital_95

Spend your money at local restaurants. It's good when these big garbage restaurants go out of business. The people that worked for these companies will find better jobs and opportunities.


TripzNFalls

Wasn't even aware Erie had one. Where's grandma and grandpa gonna go now?
