Left guy has 1 arm. Both guys have an arm that melds into the surface that the glass is sitting on. The “optimist” is the glass.

As a chef with 22 years of experience hiring cooks, there is absolutely a distinction. I would have said fast food worker instead of “cook” because the quotes make it feel condescending, but I also do not count experience in fast food as relevant experience when reviewing resumes for a line or prep cook position.

We’re also misusing the word chef a lot in this conversation. Everyone working the line in a kitchen is not a chef. They are cooks. The chefs are the kitchen leadership. There is typically one executive chef and one or two sous chefs below them. I’m simplifying things a bit but that’s the most common structure you’ll find in non-chain/corpo kitchens.

Correct.

They pay cooks less than $20/hour in a city with an average rent of $3000/month. I’ve got no problem passing judgement.

I find that even more infuriating.

Thanks for that.

I wouldn’t go that far. There are people on here that would call me a monster for just being middle management.

The current argument I’m involved in is about an online platform that people can use to give recognition to each other. HR is telling me to give my team negative performance reviews for not using it regularly.

They love to remind me that there’s an app that everyone can install on their phone. The thing is, my team aren’t allowed to use their phones at work. So, the goal is to get them to tell me in writing that using this online platform is mandatory and that my hourly staff has to do it off the clock or face repercussions which is illegal.

That’s the goal.

As a middle manager in a corporate hellscape, one of my few joys in life is setting logic traps for HR and making them choose between admitting company policy is bullshit or directly instructing me to violate labor laws.

Probably because they didn’t mention that it’s not free.

That’s right, and the poor grades and stunted growth they’ll experience as a result of that hunger will build character.

No, you can only increase.

Thr bumper sticker specifies that you have been passed by the car therefore the car must be moving.

Now I have to wonder, does she wear a unicorn onesie all the time or does she put it on over her regular street clothes before driving? If the latter, why? Which came first, the sticker or the onesie? If her partner drives the car, is she required to wear the onesie?

Technically correct but not the game in the picture.

I’d bet all the cash in my wallet that the tacos were significantly better than anything from Buffalo Wild Wings.
