Once a video emerged of the workplace bullying at the MTO Cafe, the story blew up on social media and the internet.
A manager named Young Lee is heard screaming obscenities at his servers, and threatening to deny them their tip money.
ESPN legal insider Justin Watkins explained what rights the employees have in situations like this.
Can they recover the tip money?
Should they sue the business?
Should they go after the manager through legal means?
MTO Cafe says they’ve remedied the situation by firing Lee.
We do not believe in treating our team members this way and unequivocally stand with our team. We have taken the necessary steps to swiftly terminate the manager. We apologize to our team as the actions of this individual do not represent our values.
— MTO Cafe (@MTOCafe) May 27, 2019
But his LinkedIn page has him listed as an owner of the business.
The MTO Cafe has two locations – one downtown and one in Summerlin.
