asshole gm is running us short staffed at work.

We are supposed to have 4 opening cooks, well that was cut to three cooks, now the issue is when you have call-offs.

This morning me and one other cook opened the store, then get slammed with $2500 lunch. My shift ended at noon but I stayed till 2, at 4:30 pm there is a 50 person reservation coming in and one cook on duty. I was asked to stay later and I said no, because I have other stuff to do.

I know exactly whats going to happen.

Now the real reason why I left back on the 4th of July and then again on Thanksgiving eve I worked double shifts(because of call-offs) only to get screwed out of overtime because my hours where cut the following week.


fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, sorry but I wont get fooled again.

4 pages front and back except for front cover 90 items roughly.

130ish dining room
25 or so in the bar area.

and its common to have 30 min waits on weekends around dinner time, especially right after a payday.
people get ghetto rich for a few days.

How long have you been short-staffed for? Is your GM making any effort to find you some help?

I'm glad I don't run things that way.

corporate hiring freeze was in effect due to a 20% increase in prices from the food distributor but its been lifted and replaced with new menus with price increases.

the real reason I think is all the salaried managers get a monthly bonus if they can keep their monthly labor costs under 20%.
