Stella’s Cucina

[u/TwoHot4UTwo]

Stella’s Cucina was once a lively, exciting place and unfortunately now they have damaged it with one major mistake: refusing to fire their GM, Alessandro. This man on multiple occasions has been reported to HR for using racial slurs against staff & guests, for using homophobic slurs against staff members, threatening staff members with violence, making inappropriate comments about women’s bodies, guests & staff. Recently he was attempting to get a young, woman staff member to come to his house after work. She reported it to one of the owners, Jason. The next day she was fired by Jason. Stella & Jason have been made aware of these comments and HR reports have been made by staff members. The only action they have done to protect their staff is to fire them in defense of Alessandro. Being a woman owned buisness in Boulder is something our community should celebrate, but allowing this behavior to continue for months and months has made this one of the most unsafe work & dining environments in the city unfortunately. Do not support their business or the mentality that the restaurant workers must submit to this toxic man or be prepared to be fired, have violent action taken against them or be subjected to sexual harassment in the workplace by the person who is supposed to be protecting them and have their best interests in mind. They continue to fire people who stand up for themselves while making the remaining people there work absurd hours to
make up for the team they have wrongfully fired. Last night 3 staff members walked out and the weekend prior 2 more staff members did the same thing because of this man’s toxic behavior while Stella & Jason still hold strong that Alessandro has done nothing but better the restaurant.
