A Wendy’s manager in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, is fired after allegations she restrained a neurodivergent coworker by tying him to kitchen equipment, according to reports from multiple outlets.
One report says the manager tied the employee to kitchen equipment while she was working and later faced dismissal after coworkers described the incident. Another account states the manager allegedly tied the coworker to a stove so he would “stay put,” explaining she did not want to “babysit” him while attending to her duties. Both outlets characterize the allegations as involving restraint and cite statements from coworkers. The outlets differ slightly in the specifics of the equipment mentioned and the phrasing of the manager’s alleged motive, but they align on the overall core claim: a manager allegedly tied a neurodivergent worker to kitchen equipment, leading to termination.
The reports describe the employee as neurodivergent, but they do not provide additional details about any investigation outcomes or formal charges. Authorities’ involvement and the company’s internal findings are not detailed in the provided accounts.
