The manager of the Harvey Mitchell Parkway, Bryan, TX location Paul Jones (979)779-7756 interviewed my 21 year old son Michael and offered him a job at his location. During the interview he asked my son if he was &acirc;??handicapped&acirc;?? which is against the law but my son responded that yes, he suffered from mild Cerebral Palsy. Knowing this upfront he offered my son the job and asked that he report on Tuesday, September 3, 2012 to take the online quizzes and pick up his uniforms. Michael did so and was told to come back on Thursday, September 6, 2012 from 2-5p.m. for training on the line. He then got a phone call stating that the manager would not be in on Thursday so to come in on Friday at 11a.m. to start on the line. <br /> <br /> Friday, September 7, 2012 was the day before the first ever SEC home football in our college town, Texas A&amp;M University. There were thousands of people in town on Friday getting ready for the football game and Mike was placed on the line without any training. The manager pulled him aside at the end of his shift and told him that the Regional Manager Scott Haynes (979)693-3933 said that due to his physical &acirc;??handicap&acirc;?? he would never be able to keep up with the fast pace of this particular store and he was let go.<br /> <br /> One shift. No training. Physical Handicap. There has been a huge injustice done here. Paul Jones needs to be required to attend training on Americans with Disabilities and Political Correctness and Sensitivity Training to name a few. People are not referred to nor do they have &acirc;??handicaps&acirc;??, limitations or challenges I will accept but not Handicaps. Also, he knew up front because he asked. Mr. Jones needs to be informed that you cannot ask that question, it is against the law. Mike didn&acirc;??t lie or try to hide the fact that he suffers from mild CP. Mike may never be the fastest sandwich maker but how will we ever know. He was canned after just a couple of hours. He was not offered training other than that shift. He was not offered a less fast paced position. He was not offered the opportunity to work at another, slower paced location in town. He wasn&acirc;??t rude, he didn&acirc;??t have a melt-down, or use inappropriate language, he isn&acirc;??t covered in tattoos and/or piercings, his hair is not purple, he was just too slow. To tell you honestly, if you were to put me on the line at lunch hour on one of the busiest days without ANY training, I would be too slow as well as I&acirc;??m sure a vast majority of people would be, and I do not suffer from any &acirc;??Handicaps.&acirc;??<br /> <br /> I think Paul Jones needs to find other employment. I think Scott Haynes needs to be asked if he actually said to fire Michael or if he even knows this kid exists. I think he was used as a scapegoat in this situation to make sure Mike accepted his being fired without further question.<br /> <br /> Mike left the establishment and called me. He didn&acirc;??t argue or cause a scene. His response to me was &acirc;??I&acirc;??m too big a loser to even make sandwiches.&acirc;?? This situation has been very traumatic for Mike&acirc;??s self-esteem. I would like some response to this. I am not an unreasonable person but I do want to see something done here. I think Paul Jones is in the wrong line of work. I think Mike should be offered the training that new employees should receive to succeed in the Subway family. I think Mike deserves the opportunity to prove he CAN make sandwiches.
