Yesterday I went to work, to do PAPERWORK, you know, much like the office manager who was there doing paperwork--dressed in chef's gear and crocs w/o socks. The office manager didn't have socks on either. She had on sandals. The catering manager didn't have socks on either. She had on high-heeled slingbacks with her toes a'hangin' out.

The GM got there about 10 minutes after I did, went into his office, and then came into mine to berate me for not having on any socks and inappropriate shoes. WTF!!!???

I told him that if he was going to pick on me that he should pick on everyone equally.

He said: "Worry about yourself."

Me: I *do* worry about myself, but if you're going to call me out on inappropriate dress, then you should call EVERYONE out on theirs.

Him: You don't hear me pick on anyone else, do you? So how do you know that I don't?

Me: Well, if you pick on everyone else like you're picking on me now, I *would* hear it, wouldn't I, because there are other people here now!

Him: I expect more from my managers.

Me: Well then you should start at the TOP.

I promptly left for home to put on socks and appropriate shoes.

I suppose I should add that my direct boss was already an hour late at this point. I returned (still no boss), dressed "appropriately." About 20 minutes later, my direct boss, the EXECUTIVE CHEF strolls in (1.5 hours late), dressed in green and gold sneakers (Black shoes are the dress code), brown ankle socks (Black socks are required), khaki carpenter shorts (black pants are the code), and a paint-stained T-shirt (Chef's coat is required)-- and NOTHING was said.

NOTHING.

*blinks*

Moreover, the chef decided to change a customer's menu by giving them what HE wanted them to have, which had exactly nothing to do with what they ordered.

Nothing was said.

Bonuses are due soon. If I am not included in the group that receives a part of them, I will be looking for another job. I'll be damned if I'm going to continue to bust my ass for what I make and do more of the chef's job than he does while HE makes the money for doing next to nothing!
