oh wait, i haven’t updated in ages! zomg! gomenasai!
i have been real busy, school, work and what not. möe fucked me around too much, and i decided it wasn’t good enough that i was already there for like… 4 weeks? and no one still know when i was going to work, what my pay rates were like and the official stance about pay is. we are not talking about the grunts – the managers themselves had no clue. unless i complain and raise a heckle about it, i don’t get more shifts.
it is not my job to complain EVERY WEEK so i get more shifts.
i sat down with old boss. we talked out our differences, what he can do for me and what he can’t, what i expected and what my reactions will be. so i am back at old dinky place, with few benefits, slightly more pay, but with the familiar shit.
i know, i shouldn’t be back. it’s like asking for more. but after 3 places, 2 of which dick me around more than they should be considering their reputation, i rather the old familiar shit than not knowing which truck will hit my face.
it is funny though, everyone’s reaction when they know i was here to stay for good (till graduation). the bitches had been enquiring as to when i was going to leave. apparently when i was gone, they were lording over everyone. not that they are any better now, but there are some things that were, simply put, and still are MY territory. they may have fucked my manager, but unfortunately i have seniority over his little ass. i can walk out whenever i want, and i can have shifts whenever i like. it is only out of sheer human respect that i tell James anything.
Mel decided to quit her supervisory role, because of Don. Don and Cookie hates her to the core, and so they went out of their way to irritate and annoy her, not to mention leaving hundreds of things on her plate. i can understand why though – she was good BEFORE she became a supervisor. then, she suddenly decided she was better than everyone else. came in out of uniform, decide whenever she will be a supervisor and when she will not be. in short, she was just a more conceited version of Don.
And because old boss is really trying to improve the place, between our talks, and because of various other issues, Cook was fired. no, it’s obviously not because of me, but amongst the improvements he mentioned was Cook leaving. don’t get me wrong, i don’t hate cook to the point i wanted him gone. he’s terrible immature and full of himself sometimes, but i can handle it.
a few months ago, cook and boss had a falling out. to make long stories short, boss isn’t perfect, he made mistakes and cook called him out on it as much as boss called cook on his shit. boss said ok, he will change and he hopes cook does. 2 months down the road, cook not only stayed the same (nothing is his fault remember?), he stalked down this guy from the headquarters and complained about boss.
not only that, Don and Big Boy, another sous chef, called up headquarters and rat on boss being not around as much. Boss had his own reasons why he wasn’t around – it was personal and not anyone’s business to know really. he had to be there for his family, and the HQ had no qualms about it. infact, HQ were the first ones who suggests to boss perhaps he should fire Cook as his first choice of actions when he buys over the business.
there were many other things anyways, but boss had enough of Cook’s immaturity and manner of “sorting matters” out, which was to basically yell at boss. and so… cook’s fired.
personally though, i strongly believe cook manufactured the whole situation, but i won’t comment further on it.
and then…
i think i will eat him thanks!
of course, this means i really don’t know the real names of the food you are about to see.
