Is it worth staying at a job with a restaurant owner whose standards are too high and involuntarily doesn't seem to respect you when you're trying to do your job?
My current boss has been making me feel mentally exhausted and frustrated. This is my first job working at a bar, and I have no experience whatsoever. However, when prepping in the morning, they withhold their recipes (even though I'm prepping for night shift) and give me too many tasks to do at the same time. I understand it is fast-paced, but at the same time, they have to understand I can't be everywhere at once (there is only one cook in the mornings, which is me). But when confronting them repeatedly, with a missing ingredient for a dish, they proceeded to ask me about it even though it wasn't there. Then, they proceeded to make me clock out 30 minutes early without explanation, and they seemed frustrated.
This also happened the same morning when they were 1 hour late opening their own business, where I had proceeded to wait outside in the hot weather.
Is it worth it?
From experience, we do better at our jobs when we are our best selves. As much as we shouldn't let things get to us mental support and solidifacation eases the mind. Sometimes this job makes our day. Sometimes we drive home with the radio off wondering why we put ourselves through it. Speak your mind unapologetically but on a mature respectful manner. If that doesn't work then it's time to fi d somewhere that will appreciate you. Blessings in disguise.
No, it sounds like the restaurant supervisor is just trying to make it hard for you to do your job.
Unfortunately, some bsinesses take advantage of their new hires. You have to weigh if it is worth it or move on. If they are not giving you the ingredients to the dishes that is not cool in any way. They are hurting their own business. If this is the field you choose it is ok to keep looking for something else, it doesnt sound like you will learn anything there anyway.
While I can completely understand and agree as to why you would want to run ππ½ββοΈ not walk away from this place. My question to you is this, what is there at that place that you think will help you to become a better you in your career? And in life? Meaning maybe you are there, because your life path needed you to learn something about yourself or a particular subject or situation that will make you become a better you. If nothing at this place resonates with you at that level then itβs time to move on. GOOD LUCK! π
It sounds like you're experiencing a challenging situation at your current job. Feeling mentally exhausted and frustrated is not sustainable in the long term. If you have repeatedly communicated your concerns to your employer with no improvement, it may be time to consider seeking a new opportunity where you feel valued and respected.
In the meantime, focus on building your skills and experience in the hospitality industry. Consider reaching out to other job search providers such as Jobcase to explore potential job openings that align better with your work values and career goals.
Remember, your well-being and happiness are important, so it's okay to prioritize yourself and your career growth.
Also that place sounds like trash and from your txt it sounds like you would thrive somewhere else. Change is uncomfortable but it might be the best thing ever. I'm getting frustrated just reading your story cause I would light them up if that happened to me.
