A former restaurant manager has taken to social media to express frustrations over inequities experienced during his tenure in the hospitality sector. He highlighted several injustices that he claims are prevalent in the industry.
In his video, the ex-manager described a situation where, after four years at the establishment, he was reportedly not required to work as a cook unless there was a special event. He questioned whether there were any specific dishes he, as a Spanish employee, was uniquely qualified to prepare, suggesting that his skills were not fully utilized.
The manager mentioned that his superiors often referred to a flexible schedule to justify not compensating him for vacation days, which added to his frustration. He recalled moments when he felt overwhelmed, ultimately leading him to a point where he decided to resign from his position.
Upon his departure, he recounted a conversation with his bosses that left him baffled. They seemed to indicate that they had previously discussed his resignation, which he found perplexing. They suggested that he could have taken his vacation during less busy months, a notion he did not agree with.
This candid revelation has resonated with many in the hospitality industry, sparking discussions about the challenges workers face and the need for better treatment and rights for employees. The video has gained traction, highlighting the ongoing issues within restaurant workplaces.
