I think if you get caught exploiting your staff your staff should get to destroy your restaurant for a limited period. Like the more egregious the exploitation the longer the destruction window. Maybe they get tools in addition to PPE.

I had someone once order a large 5 cheese pizza, but instead of pizza sauce as the base: mayonnaise.

Forward that order to the CIA in my opinion

There are tiny automated turrets that detect and fire an infrared beam at mosquitos, melting their wings.

Maybe you could put a texmex spin on Japanese classics. Like a sushi roll but instead of seaweed use a flour tortilla and instead of nasty old raw fish use like ground beef flavoured with coriander, cumin and chili

One of my mates was telling me about this time he explosively quit his restaurant job. His boss was chewing him out and he got fed up, yelled “i loving quit” and threw the metal mixing bowl he was holding him behind him and into the air. It smashed into the fluoro lights which exploded and rained glass throughout the entire kitchen. So maybe you could try something like that.

In my opinion at the wage you guys are on at least 20% of stock should leave with you at the end of the night

All Christmas music should be banned. It’s not fair that you can just cobble together a bunch of lovely notes and get it played just because it’s Christmas.

I am not picking up admin duties and other things, I explicitly asked to be trained because they are things I have not done much in my career that I feel are my biggest weakness outside the kitchen. I’ve done ordering from a warehouse, but not direct ordering, I’ve done some menu building, a little catering planning, but not enough to consider myself proficient. The casino environment I am in (Tribal casino very closely managed and controlled by the tribal body) doesn’t allow me much room to actually do many of those things regularly (they know who all the chefs are and only want to work with or through them).

I want this training not to do it here, now, for this casino, but so I have it going forward. Even if I end up somewhere with different policies and procedures I will at least have some experience. My chef is about 3/4 over this place as well and is willing to take a little time to make me more a more valuable employee even if it doesn’t help this casino.

As far as my actual job here, I am less attached than comfortable. I would be adding a half hour minimum, quite probably more, to my commute each way if I wanted to go elsewhere and make anything close to my current wage. My current drive is 10 minutes.

Ultimately, however, I told them and meant I wanted a compromise that gives me satisfaction and fulfillment, something that will help build my career. And if they can’t come to an agreement with me on that I will find something else and hand in my notice without a second thought. I’ve been too passive here, but I won’t be anymore. I realized it was time to insist on what I need from a job and if they can’t do that, to go find it

Sorry for the third long post basically in a row

Edit: I also have to admit there’s a small amount of spite in what I’m doing. Since I really would love it if I could make this job work out, as unlikely as that seems long term, and since we do have a strong HR department, I might as well see what other very unprofessional things she wants to send me in an email. Telling me I shouldn’t have visited my wife in the ER is a good start, but when/if I leave, I would love to dump a huge mess of HR trouble on her for her behavior. I won’t stay in a bad situation or risk my goals for it... but I wouldn’t mind at all if it works out.

My opinion is that you should quit. It sounds like this company extremely sucks and they're working you to the bone because they can. Find some other company and work hard for them.

Ok we're coming up to the busy season so everyone is gonna have to dig deep and really step up to support the company. Also if I catch you eating a single chicken nugget you are fired.

"Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell."

-William Strunk Jr., The Elements of Style

My main feedback for your writing is that it is unnecessarily verbose. I think you need to go over it and edit it down. Not everything requires an additional comment tagged onto it.

I found the stories and subject matter interesting but it is a slog to get through.

This guy I used to work with told me when he quit working in the kitchen due to his manager just constantly berating him he threw a metal bowl full of flour back over his head. It smashed into the fluorescent lights which exploded, scattering flour and glass shards over the entire kitchen.

So you could maybe do something like that
