just wanted to vent, i’m tired of being disrespected.
i quit my job after two shifts cooking at a fast paced casual dining chain.
in my opinion i’m overqualified for the position, i’ve worked fine dining for many years but i wanted a step back into a more relaxed job. boy was i wrong.
making $10 less per hour, the kid training me was a brainwashed 19 year old and my manager was a corporate drone who kept waving laminated paper in my face of corporates methods for doing things. she just about had a meltdown when i refused to do perform tasks her way as apposed to how i’ve been doing them my whole career. the micromanaging and being treated like i was an idiot was too much.
the final straw was after scrubbing the entire kitchen top to bottom for two hours ( extremely unusual for one person to be expected to perform this task every night) i was told i need to scrub the floor with the mop not paint it.
i handed her my apron and didn’t look back.
my only regret is not telling the kid who was training me he can do better and this isn’t a normal working environment.
