Month: April 2022

So this happened years ago when I was in culinary school. I was working in the kitchen at an upscale boutique hotel in Newport, Rhode Island. I'm not going to name it since this happened too long ago and this is sadly not a abnormal situation in the restaurant industry. I interview with the chef there and he likes my resume so I am brought on to be a rounds cook (someone who can work any station in the kitchen depending on the needs that day/minute). He schedules me to start training on garde manger (salads, cold apps, desserts) which is lowest rank in the kitchen for cooks with the intent to train me on the rest of the stations after that. Two days later the chef that hired me gets fired and replaced with a tyrant of a chef. Old school guy who thinks screaming is an acceptable form…

Please do not screenshot or report on other social media Looking for ADVICE and to VENT I recently got my bachelor’s degree and accepted a long-term sub position. In their handbook, it indicates that I would get paid $225 per day. My teaching license is still being processed, but I was told I could begin the position because I am co-teaching almost all my classes. But when I got my paycheck, it was at their base rate of $112 per day. I immediately contacted HR, and they said that they would continue paying me at that rate until my license is approved. I told them I would not be back until my license is approved and they could pay me at $225 per day. I’m in Minnesota, US, if it makes any difference. I’m pretty sure I’m helpless here, but needless to say, I’m furious!!!!

Manager told me this when starting the job all he does is Thank me but i wanted a raise. Workload is heavy and I spend 58 hours a week any advise?

Edit — I have 2 jobs because one isn't enough ); —I can barely afford gas and car insurance. My dad leaves for work at 4am and doesn't get home until 8pm or 9pm. He works for 13 days straight and then gets one day off and then works another 13 days and the cycle continues. We can barely afford the basic necessities. This economy is totally fucked. Most people can't even afford to go on strike for a week so nothing is ever gonna change. The only way I see out of this living hellscape is to join the military and then after I've served my 20 years and most of my family has died, move to a different country with an economy that people can actually live off of.

My manager complains about the time I waste. I send invoices, file things away, answer calls. Sometimes, when I've done my daily tasks all I have left is wait for the phone to ring. My job doesn't take 8 hours but since our phones are on for 8 hours, I'm here. Occasionally, I will have a situation arise that I don't know how to handle and I have learned not to ask him for help because his response is: “Figure it out,”. So, things pile up on my desk because I don't know what to do about them. Today I said to him, “When you say things like “Figure it out,” it is not helpful to me. It causes me stress, anxiety, and makes me feel like I can't ask questions to you or anyone. So things pile up on my desk and don't get done because I CAN'T figure…
