Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

If I were an old man living in a nursing home I probably wouldn’t wear pants either, and would just say I forgot. Why not be comfortable?

Unless you mean nothing at all below the waistline.

After 6 months of telling me "no, we'll be able to give you a tour of the lodge and meet about a hard offer real soon!" I've still got nothing from the hunting lodge that said they wanted me for exec chef. So, when the dive bar I work at offered me a 16k/year raise plus paid vacation for what amounts to a more consistent schedule with slightly earlier mornings and a little more cleaning, inventory, and money handling responsibilities as assistant manager, I jumped all over that poo poo. :toot:

Just 8am to clean up the place and set up the till. It’s a stone simple gig that ends up outpaying basically everywhere else in town.

Holding someone off for 6 months like that is unconscionable. I know corporations will do at a high level when they have multiple candidates, multiple background checks, etc. I find even that ridiculous, but when you've got shareholder oversight to deal with, I at least understand it. To be chef at a hunting lodge though?

gently caress em. Don't withdraw your interest, and when they finally offer it to you, turn them down so they have to scramble to find another person.

I let the lodge know and gave them a chance to counter and they declined. A part of why it went down the way it did is that they reached out to me right away when their last chef put in notice at the end of last season, and the place became inaccessible due to snow and then mud for months after. The last two months haven’t had that excuse though. It’s a small family run place, and I was just getting “we’re busy with the dog breeding program, I’ll get a hold of you in two weeks.” And then never hearing back. They still want to meet about my availability to help out, but I don’t think I want to mess around with that.

Hey FYI to you industry types trying to get jobs outside of the restaurant industry: do NOT spend any time in your interview complaining about past jobs and saying that you just quit a job that morning.

I've interviewed like 4 people like this in the last year and it's real fuckin tedious

Go out to eat all you want, but make a phone call or send an email the day before so that I can double check all my poo poo for a stray clove of garlic in a recipe that's used in a recipe so I don't poison you, and also have a heads up so I have time to make accommodations.

Then again, if they were actually severely allergic to all that poo poo they'd know this and would either do it or be terrified of eating food at restaurants.

Oh we're doing the "restaurants can't afford to pay people" thing now? If your profit margins are so low that you can't afford to pay your staff, you don't deserve a loving restaurant. Your poor business choices and inability to research a market and control your costs and accounts are not the responsibility of your staff. gently caress you.

Edit: Poe's Law, my dude. Sorry!

oh my god I'm so sick of hearing about the budget for every little thing. if the restaurant can't afford loving mop solution then maybe the business is a failure. owners think they are entitled to a successful business just because they made an investment or worked hard. I'd be more sympathetic if they weren't the same group of people who evangelize about the value and wisdom of the infallible free market.
