There is always that one person, that one employee in every workplace that's just a complete asshole. I mean, assholes, they come in all kinds of style and flavors. But the one I'm talking about is the one who tries to shine when the suits are around. In my case, the embrodied chef coats.
It doesn't help when the Supervisor tells you straight off that that one person is crazy. That's only tellibg me, that you as the Sup, is very afriad of him. He even went on to say that me and this guy can't work together. That I will work t.he assembly area AND the kitchen when this guy is off. See. He thinks that I have a problem with him, which I do. Its how he works. Out of an 8 hour work day, he works about 3 hrs. That's not good.
Other coworkers on the team have a problem with him also, he work ethics. They question me like what's goibg on with him. Instead of asking me I tell them, ask him. They too are somewhat afraid of him. Well the Excutive Chef put a nail in it early today at the end of shift. Told him that if he is late one more time he is terminated. He then went on to say that its the hours, he has a hard time getting up at night to be here 3am. Chef said, bullshit. That I comee all the way from The Bronx, by train and I'm here an hour before shift. He has 3 more times to be late, then its a write up. Next time, he's terminated. Simple as that, right ?
But it doesn't stop there. I have less than a month there. So he is in good with the other departments, and he goes to them talkikbg shit. Mostly about me, saying I think I can come in a try to control things. Well the Chef over heard this and he stepped in. Told him he can either quit, resign, be fired or shut the fuck up. He choosed the later. I approached him and told him that him trying to punk me is some childish shit. I could've went really in on him. On how he is a 'yes massa' type man, one I have no respect for. He says this, no bullshit, 'yes boss man' to the Kitchen Manager and Excutive Chef. But where is the respect to the Supervisor. He calls him Sous, as in Sous Chef. To me that degrading. A Supervisor is a step of from a Sous.
I spoke with people outside about his ass, they tell me why do I bother, keep my mouth shut. Fuck that. Cause the next move is for him to really mess somethibg up and then blame me. Not here he will.
