I handed in my 2 week notice last night at the hotel.
You may remember from previous posts that I've been having problems with the head chef and last night was no exception, I've had a week off and when i went in we were quite chatty and normal to each other, sharing a joke and a giggle about me going to London and not seeing the queen but visiting a king instead (king tut), then later on he decides that I'm not doing my work well enough and instead of telling me he goes over my head and gets the gcm. The gcm is like whats going on and obviously has to come in and see whats going on and I tell her that everythings fine, because it was. Anyway she goes downstairs into the staffroom to have a fag and a chat to the head chef and he tells her what i should be doing, she comes back up and tells me I shouldn't be serving food I should be seating and greeting and doing bills, well I'm sorry but I have 3 other girls in the restaurant who are all working their arses off because we're super busy and there is no way in hell that I'm going to be standing at the door waiting to seat people. I can seat poeple and run around like a blue arsed fly, because I can mutli task and who the hell does he think he is?! He's not a restaurant workers he's a fucking microwave chef grr.
So I get upset again and call Pete, bless he's working nights atm and I called him just as he arrived at work and started crying at him, I asked if it was ok for me to quit now instead of October and if I was being silly and Pete was great and supportive and said that it was ok for me to quit and that the head chef was bullying me.
So I went off to do some supervisor work, I wrote out my resignation letter and put it in daniel and lauras tray (my managers), I then text Laura who was on holiday and she replied that she wasn't surprised. I felt sad that she didn't say please stay, but I guess you kind of learn how much your treasured at your work place when it comes to the crunch. Anyway Laura kept defending the head chefs attitude etc and this made me angry, dammit she should be defending me not him, I work for her, he doesn't.
At the end of the night one of the waitresses whose after my job says to me, I'm being nosey but are you going to leave and I said yea I handed in my notice earlier, she was surprised but I tolder she could have my job. She asked me why i was leaving and I told her about the head chef, she guaranteed everyone will know that 1 I'm leaving and 2 I'm a big wuss!
So my last day is the 19th August, I'm kind of happy, but also worried that I've been too spontaneous and that I've over-reacted, but I honestly don't think that i should have to put up with people swearing and yelling at me, its not good for my sanity.
