Literally almost everything about my job would be better if they felt like they could take a deep breath and calm down. I mean there's vastly enough separatation between my immediate bosses and the ultimate bosses that this should be possible and everyone involved would feel less like killing themselves so... I don't even know.

same at my job but a little less pronounced maybe
my immediate supervisor takes it up the ass so hard and never refuses any order no matter how devastating physically or emotionally
he’s currently in the middle of 12 days straight 10-12 hour days he’s older than I am and he’s constantly moving heavy cases of fish and dairy products around in the walk-in
both his feet have collapsed and he’s constantly in agony- back feet knees
there’s ribbing in the kitchen, you know, but I’ve said some ****ing cruel jokes
I like the guy but other cooks under him especially the morning crew hate him
He gives everybody **** and people just take it 90% of the time
He’s a good dude but he’s so overworked that he gets frustrated and then lashes out
The sous chefs the managers they’re all so willing to drop dead on the job - I feel sorry for them, they’re so cowardly- I mean I’ve been fired from so many jobs- but they’re terrified of it
if you’re sick of your restaurant job here’s what you do: every time it’s absolutely mad crunch time and your absence ****s them up - go to the doctor and say you have bad diarrhea. They’ll have to fire you because you leave them in the lurch every time. You’ll be let go without cause because it’s illegal to work with food when you have the runs. Let go without cause then go straight to the unemployment office. You’ll get a check for doing absolutely nothing for a few months. And you think you can’t get another **** job? I’ve done it probably 20 times. I haven’t collected unemployment that many times but I’ve abandoned that many jobs. I mean, I get it if you want to move up but if you’re just stuck in a miserable hot ass kitchen for so many ****ing hours a week all you do is go home and sleep and it has no chance of going anywhere what the **** are you afraid of? Without hyperbole I would rather kill myself than be my manager. And I’ve told him that lol
cue dwv calling me a loser
