Manager vs. Manager

I hate Fridays… I love the money but I hate only having three server for 126 seats, no host and the closing server is required to do the take out and delivery service. That equals one hell of a headache for me being the closer. Plus the fact that I am the closer and am working with not only people who have never served before in their life, but with managers who really just don’t give a fuck.

The management team where I work is as follows.

GM – Have a great interim gm right now, from our sister store. She is great at what she does and very by the book.

“Hottie” AGM – Really cares for her staff and guests, probably the best person I have ever worked for. She actually puts on the uniform and serves if the need arises. No one else will do that.

Manager J – Wants to be the lounge only manager and is pissed that he has to do the dinning room as well, therefore doesn’t give a rats ass about us dinning room servers.

Manager W – Head in the clouds and eyes on Facebook. Enough said.

Those as well as myself and another supervisor are our management team at the moment. Now to the story of last night.

It was Manager J running the restaurant and someone had fucked up the schedule so only 3 of us were on past 8 o’clock with no host, when we should be keeping 4 servers till 10 pm and the host on till 11. However we were short as I said above and when the hit came again at around 9 o’clock  there was just the three servers on the floor. Myself, Pickle (only been serving 3 weeks) and Lazy Bitch (serving for a month and a half) Guess where Manager J was, yep up there sitting in the office because he doesn’t care.

I have managed I know what it’s like to be frustrated with you position, I left because I wasn’t being valued. That is what you have to do, don’t sit their and be a burden to your staff. You can’t do that, you have to either be out there helping your teamn out or just not their at all, it does no one any good for you to be up in the office when the dinning room just filled in ten minutes.

Man I hate people sometimes.
