13 years, now I’m out
I’ve finally had it chefs. I’m kitchen manager at a bar and grill, and my sous chef was out of town for a week. I worked 12+ hour days 7 days in a row. On the morning of day 7 I got a call from my corporate chef chewing me out for labor being 1% too high, and got told I needed to “step up to the fucking plate and fucking work harder”
Two minutes after I hang up the phone, I got a call for a job offer as an electrician apprentice. Perfect timing.
I’m done being exploited and worked to the bone for assholes who couldn’t give a fuck about me. It’s been real chefs.
