Tl:dr my boss threatens my job at a restaurant after i prioritise other job opportunities Me and my partner are going for a home lone, so we need part or full time employment. I asked at the restaurant to be changed to part-time, but i got hit with “we do a review of employment type at 6 months and 12 months.” I was like fair enough, its a restaurant in a club so loads of corporate tape etc etc, time to find another job (and i did) as a kitchen hand in a cafe. My intent was to just work the 2 jobs alongside each other. Previously i worked 5 or 6 days at the restaurant.

'Keeping the peace ' 'The status quo' 'It is what it is' 'It's part of the job' 'Well there's nothing we can do about it so I don't stress about it' 'I don't like to worry about that kind of stuff' 'Just ignore it' 'It's not that bad' 'That problem doesn't exist'(we both know it does) 'Seniority' And the way the boot lickers just get so MAD if you ever discuss anything along the lines of improving conditions or even suggesting better ways to do things
