I am a employee of the Cinemark Century Theater in Terra Linda. My issue is with a Senior Manager who has been unreasonable with her discipline methods, and tired of the favoritism that I think is being shown in the workplace. While I do fully understand the Employee Guidelines and that I am breaking them, her requests are not backed by any of these. I called in sick, because I had a fever at 101.3 and she told me to get a doctor's note for that one day. I did not call out any other days, and that was the only one. As it was a Sunday she requested that I would go to the ER and pay out of my pocket just to avoid a write-up. Her argument was about how I had swapped my shifts several times on Sunday in the past, but recently I have not done that. If she had looked a little closer, I only did that to my closing shifts, and many times I chose to still work them. I was also issued one for something when I was off the clock and had managed to get mixed up with a customer, when I think for anyone who has a reasonable sense of judgment could say I was not in the fault for. This could have been entirely avoided if another manager had done their job, and yet me and the other employee involved were written-up for it. I've worked for this company for nearly a year and a half, and these are my first two writes, both recent, and both written up by the same manager.
Upon recently I was given a full amount of days, seeing as the previous manager understood that I wanted that and needed that. Now that this manager is in charge, not only are my shifts being cut, but only the people she seems to personally get along with are getting a good amount of shifts. I think you could describe me as a good working, disregarding my cell phone use on the job. (I don't mind admitting that) I do everything I am supposed to and more, and I feel like I'm being disciplined for that.

there was a female employee named, ana she looks pregnant she works for cinemark in el centro she works in the hall and takes the tickets she was on the phone with someone talking about "SUCKING DICK AND LICKING BALLS :. I ASKED HER TO STOP TALKING ABOUT THAT IN FRONT OF MY TWO DAUGHTERS AND SHE TOLD ME TO FUCK OFF AND I ASKED HER TO LET ME SPEAK TO THE MANAGER IN CHARGE SHE SAID HE AINT HERE RIGHT NOW .so i walked off and went home. i didnt bother to watch the movie. this is suppose to be a family enviorment and uyou have employees on the phone using foul language this happened yestur day on <br /><br />

I was recently at Sandy Century 16 Union Heights, it was a Sunday night, and the management were acting very childish, I've seen them not doing their job, but this was ridiculous. One of the managers, a Mr. B was running aroung chasing the employees and hitting them with his laniard with no regard for the customers that were in the way, he was also taking the creamers from the front of the cafe and popping them on the employees. Then there was a Mr. C, he was going around to the male employees and hitting them in the groin area, he was also on his phone, when a customer came up to him, he didnt even look up, he turned around and told the employee to help the customer, and stood there with his back to the customer. And in addition to all that, both managers were very crude, and were swearing like sailors. I was very dissapointed with the actions and the childish display that the management showed that night. I also asked a couple of the employees if the managers acted like that on a regular basis, and they said that it gets worse in the scullery, they said that they go hide back there, and spray eachother with the sink hose. And speaking for the employees, those two managers are horrible, that they are hypocrites and that they get the employees in trouble to get the heat off of them, that they tell the employees that they can do one thing, then when questioned they act as though they didnt give the employee permission. I am over all very dissapointed with what i found out that night.

I went to Cinemark to watch a movie with my wife and 2 young children.
Jamel 3, and Jerrell 2... We got 4 tickets to got see Qurantine...
Purchased 2 large slurpies and walked our children to our seats..
My wife and i have trained and tought our children well, and how to
respect adults and they are well mannerd.. 15 minutes into our movie
my wife and i were asked to leave the movie by a cinemark employee.
He told us that some one was crying said our kidds were making to mutch noise..witch was completley untrue... come to find out the woman who made the complaint was crying good enough to convince the manager of the cinemark to refund our slurpies, give us tickets to the next movie, and
refund us for Qurantine movie.. Furthermore, my wife was 9 mounths
pregnant and readdy to pop, she was highly iiratated that we had to leave
without warnning!!! Not to mention that we had just enough gas to go to
the movies and back home one time, Its our anniversary today!! so..
we saw aprox 18 min of Qurantine and we got some tickets we will most likley never use being that my wife and i bolth work tihgt sceduals!!
"F" CineMark, Sincerely Jerel Butler..

P.S. I will Have my Picket Sighn... Lol.

I thought discrimination didnt happen anymore. Last night I went to catch a late movie with my friend, I purchased tickets online so that i wouldnt wait. So we head to the theather and since it was the last function, they where begining to closing down, and all the doors had been closed. However we were only 10 mins late and the movie had only barely started. So I go to the box office and get my tickets. Im standing at the door...mind you, the movie had already started...and a man who seemed to be of importance, is standing at the door. He seemed to be a manager. I show him my tickets then he looks at me and my friend, who happens to be gay, and he turns around and starts making jokes to his co-workers. He continues making jokes for 5 mins while we are standing at the door outside the theater waiting to be let in with valid tickets. He then points me back to the box office and i go to the box office and they tell me to "go in". We go back to the entrance and the man in charge seems to be annoyed by us trying to get in the theater. To my surprise and frustration, he looks at us again and turns his back on us again continuing to laugh and make jokes. It was very rude and unprofessional. Finaly after 10 mins he looks at us with an angry face, and points us to another door, we walk over there and wait again, well he never opened that door instead he opens the door we had been standing at in the first place. To make things worst, my friend who had driven there, ask the man if he could validate his parking ticket. Simple question right? well it angered the man and he loudly and rudely says "Well maybe after you get out of the theater we will". If I hadnt already purchased the tickets I would have walked out and never set foot in that theater again, but they where making it hard for us to even get our money back. As we continue walking into the lobby, the employee continues talking loudly and rudely my friends was so angerd he nearly walked out. Needless to say I didnt enjoy the movie and this morning I woke up with the bitter taste of this experience, I will NEVER go back to that theater again and am filling a formal discrimination complaint because he was making fun of us and he left us outside waiting while he made jokes to the other employees.
