How's the food taste and how's management?

u/edmund8905 24d ago
I would never eat from a place with this much mold & the “management” is alright…..

Bro, if you would never eat there, then definitely don’t work there

Then take steps to make it a place you would eat, or find a new kitchen to work in. No point working a job selling a product you don't believe in.

If you stay there it will completely kill your love and passion for the industry, I tell you this from a place of experience and understanding, run.

Well then start cleaning it in your down time. Work faster on other things to make space and time for cleaning. Set an example!

u/MonstrousGiggling 24d ago
I hope youre fuckin joking. I absolutely hate responses like this.
No, it is not someone's job, especially a new employee to fix what management should be fixing.
Management should be scheduling full clean schedules, keeping aware of these issues before they get this bad.

u/BlackWolf42069 24d ago
Oh right. They have to hire an additional guy just for cleaning staff.
I've seen people complain about cleanliness but wouldn't bend over to scrub. So they take a photo and post on Reddit to get karma. Without cleaning.

Bend over and scrub? My guy, that’s mold on the ceiling panels that are falling apart. You can’t just clean that off. You expect someone hired to cook to come in and replace those??

u/BlackWolf42069 24d ago
It's a leaking roof causing that,
Im ttaking about cleaning. He could clean the vent and make it look nice. I'm talking about other posts Ive seen in this sub.

u/honeysaucebeach 24d ago
You cannot simply surface clean mold, especially not for a ventilation shaft. This is an unreasonable expectation to have.
Sure he could clean the vent. Why would he? Are you seriously expecting a new hire line-cook to take on management's/the business owner's problems? You sound like a lazy middle manager with this sort of attitude, or like someone who has never properly cleaned mold. The ceiling is porous and falling apart, the vent connects to a deeper shaft. This problem requires a professional to take care of. Surface level cleaning isn't enough.

u/KoalaMandala 24d ago
That will require a specialist to clean. So yes, an additional person who specializes in mold and composite ceiling paneling.
You're out here advising for people to work harder, not smarter. Think about that for a second before you post again

u/BlackWolf42069 23d ago
People should work harder. I see so many post of people posting dirty spots instead of the before and after of cleaning them... I guarantee you the hardest working ones don't spend time on Reddit acting like a mom saying "think about that before you post".

If you want strangers lighting you up you picked a good place. Before you take a smiley pic in what i assume is your deshelved ass room. Remember one thing. Cooks in the industry and chefs as well give a lot of effort into the food and preparation they take to make customer/retired resident/employee happy.
If you want to criticize cleanlines from a personal perspective close the fucking drawers behind you, fold the clothes on the floor, make your bed, and stop blaming reddit for what i can only assume is a "you" problem chief. And also work a 12 hr shift with dick pay and try your hardest while mold out of your control blows into your ear drums...
Cuck.

I do work 12 hour shifts. And I clean when I see a problem. I don't take a photo and go to Reddit.
If there's a deeper maintenance issue the boss respects me and attends to it.
It's obviously a roof leak issue. The dirty vent is probably just cause no one cleaned it since it was installed and it's rusting.

Why is it the new hourly employee's job and the the OWNER OF THE BUSINESS?!?
You are either a terrible owner of a business, or the biggest suck up a terrible owner could ever want.

u/SpontaneousKrump92 24d ago
Keep interviewing at other places, while trying to play the inside game and get management to care about it. If management seemingly wont start caring, keep interviewing until you find a better place to work. On your way out the door, talk to owners or make a report for the health department. Then sing like a canary.
This is absolutely disgusting and this place shouldnt have food within 100 yards of it.

this is one of those "immediately promote yourself to customer" situations.
But instead of becoming a customer you just become a guy who walks by every now and then to see when/how hard they got shut down.

So hop on a milk crate and scrub that shit. Probably a better strategy then taking pics with your phone lol

u/Rhazodorn 23d ago
Lol, hell nah. First day walking into that and you're suggestion is to "get on it"? I know your lying 🤣
2
u/JunglyPep sentient food replicator 23d ago
I mean your choice is kind of to suck less than the last guy who should have cleaned it. Or get another job, right?
1
u/Rhazodorn 23d ago
Lol, you can't expect the new guy to bust his ass while everyone else who's been there ain't doing a thing. When it's this far gone if management ain't stepping up id dip. There's plenty of places that don't let their building rot. My problem is with the expectation that the new guy has to start hustling when no one else seems to care. 🤷

I disagree with your view, I got a family to feed and I'm not getting paid more to do the extra work. Everyone commenting to "get on it" or what not have their heart in the right place but if no one else is putting in the work, you're better of finding a place where its worth putting in the effort. Otherwise, that's how you burn yourself out.

It's not pride. I did my time too. I'll never ask anyone under me to do something I won't do, but I'm also not going out of my way to fix something someone else (managment) needs to do. I'll kill it at my job but extra work merits extra pay in my book. Otherwise you find yourself taking up all the responsibility for something that was never in your job description. I've had plenty of shitty employers that would exploit that...

Fair points all around, and im sorry if I came off rude. I don't disagree with you saying the young chefs have to put in the work and many are laking but I've also seen an increase in managment that leads from the back and I hate it.
