Let me point out now too that I am also a manager of the restaurant I work at, i started when I was 15 as a caterer and worked up to a manager now at 22.
We run parties basically as like a Maitre D and have a staff to help with everything food, drinks, communication, etc. one of the other Maitre D’s is on vacation for the week so instead of the useless one pitching in to help she refuses to come in because it’s her day off which left me with running three parties all at the exact same time. Not to mention how backed up this lack of spacing made the kitchen.
I also covered her shifts while she was away on vacation because it’s extra money and I want to help the best I can. She’s also the owner’s sister so she gets away with murder when it comes to booking parties, or front of the house affairs, etc. She had no customer service skills and is constantly complained about.
I just think its really unfair how it all plays out and, maybe I’m being ignorant here, that she makes more than me hourly.
