Chick-fil-A Corporate A local store to our community now has a new owner operator. He recently fired several staff that had been hired under corporate during the transition. The employees were fired as part of retaliation for trying to help the new owner understand federal wage laws and hourly employees. What does corporate do to make sure owner operators understand federal laws. This owner has no prior experience with restaurants and is losing money and apparently thinks it's okay to skew labor numbers.

I’ve been in sales for nearly 3 years doing alright and all of a sudden I have developed an anxiety towards sales that has made my job unbearable in the last few months.

Has anyone else experienced this?
Any advice on how to get through this?
