Table 51 & 52

I’ll try and make this short but I have a lot to say. Today I was laid off work from a chain restaurant, what’s even funnier about that is I was hired a year ago today. My job title at work was Marketing Director. It became more than that. I didn’t have an office so I always sat at table 51. I would spend countless hours “trying” to answer emails & make calls. Trying means, loud music & servers needing my help. I did not mind helping the servers at all! (Putting in discounts, taking mistakes off whatever. But was it really my job? No. Then I got to running food, making cheese logs in prep, slicing onions Etc. Sound like a Marketing Director roll? Doesn’t to me. But I liked my job & cared for the company I worked for & most importantly our guests. But it kept me…

But I liked my job & cared for the company I worked for & most importantly our guests. But it kept me from doing the job at hand-Marketing. Managers didn’t mind it as they would stand on expo on their phones while I ran food & Togo orders. This has gone on for weeks now. But as of today. I have been laid off. Ooooo, I forgot, we had manager meetings on Wednesday afternoons. Sales/loses/gains/marketing. I was last, not always, but most of the time. By the time they got to me…the all guy manager team would not listen to anything I said. They didn’t care what I was doing to build sales for the restaurant, my lack of time to do a-lot was there but I still gave it my all! I even worked 3 weeks straight after my son got married only taking 4 days off for that. About a month ago during our meeting I did ask if they were listening and the GM says we can’t hear you, so I said do I need a microphone? My GM tells me…that I could unzip the male managers, sitting next to me’s, pants & use it as a microphone……WTH!! Now that I have been laid off due to sales being low…I’m mad at myself for not turning him in or charging him with se**al harassment. He didn’t own his role! I owned his role & my role & the other 4 managers role. Guest complaints , the managers sent me out there to deal with it. I should have just opened my role & not all of their roles. It had me soo stressed out & my anxiety threw the roof. And now I’m out the job. No one else but me. Now I go look for a new job while the GM that is a POS stays. All I can say is good luck with that. Hope it all works out for you buddy!
