I've worked for Colton's steak house in Rogers for past 10 years as general manager. On sept,4th 2014 I injured my back by falling on loose tiles in kitchen. At the time there were 4 areas
That came up but owner would not spend money for repairs. The day I fell I document accident and sent copy to Colton's steak house home office and copy to workers comp. I went to workers comp doctor 4 weeks later as that's how long they made me wait and was told that their was nothing they could do for my back.
30 days after accident owner came in one night with a repairman and repaired floors in the darkness of night, at morning he called and wanted me to come in and talk to him. Told him I was on pain medication and was unable to come in. so he terminated me over phone. Workers comp would not pay me a dime as owner lied and stated I was able to work and did not. I have a note from my doctor stating unable to work.
I called department of health -- osha --and local news and complained about my treatment.
Osha sent me a letter stating owner was going to fix floors properly, still today they are not repaired to health department standards. Also there are four issues at this location that's going to hurt a guest or team member one day, as a fire will be created by one or all areas that are not properly maintained.
Owner is aware of these issues but puts off due to cost. Most of his other Colton's steak houses and famous daves has concerning issues as Rogers on poor maintance.
I want to report to osha "again on floors and to let them know the other potential fire hazards. This location caught on fire few years ago on roof and still today, repairs not done to prevent burning again.
Last Christmas, his Jonesboro location caught on fire for the second time, and burnt to the ground.
I honestly believe it was done on purpose as he was losing much money on that unit.
I wrote the EEOC and only was able to get a right to sue letter from them. I want to hurt this man the way he hurt me, and my family by lying to the state. I wrote Jonesboro news and emailed fire department on my thoughts on fire but no response. Now that I'm disabled and having to see a surgeon in Texas it really motivates me to get justice on
My termination, due to his neglect.
