Of course they fired you for the blog. HR-wise, it's easier to blame the scheduling. Social media policies have not been tried in court enough to be reliable. They don't want to be sued, so they give a plausible reason. They don't care about the UI because they just want you gone. You seem to go through jobs like a fat kid goes through a tub of ice cream. Maybe it is you. Maybe if you were all that, you would stay at a job for more than 8 months. Just because you can breeze through training and carry your own weight quickly does not mean you're an asset. You seem very high maintenance and this blogging is going to get you into much more trouble than it's worth. I know you think that you're going to have the luck of Waiter Rant, but you should not put all your eggs in one basket. Look at how "acting" worked out for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-52091056647082644092011-05-08T00:11:52.719-04:002011-05-08T00:11:52.719-04:00I haven't been fired but am on suspension for ...I haven't been fired but am on suspension for a customer complaint. I work for a high-end restaurant in L.A. (sounds like Norton's, but replace the first letter). I'd told the GM numerous times that a "VIP" customer (who brought his own wine in, told me he got his drinks for free and a 30% discount on everything, and hit on the hostess)was unhappy. I tried to make him happy, but I couldn't. The GM even said the guy was a pain in the ass. I tried to get help for the situation. When the GM went up to the table, the customer said things were fine. The guy's WIFE even apologized to me for him being an a-hole. <br /><br />So, the guy sends a letter to "corporate" complaining, the GM throws me under the bus and won't admit that the customer was being a jerk, or that I tried to make things right, asking the GM to give him complimentary cognac. Instead, they are going to "investigate" the complaint and let me know if I still have a job in a week. This is so typical of the company.<br /><br />It is the most corporate nightmare waitressing job I've ever had. They ride the waiters continually and it is almost unbearable. It is by far the physically, most demanding server job I have ever had, (bussers don't clear tables or run coffe or drinks) but the management and corporate baloney makes it miserable. Most waiters are unhappy, but what can you do? A job is a job.<br /><br />They run you into the ground for the little things, yet they make you give TIPS to the Sales Manager when they book a large party (totally illegal). The nitpicking never ends... UGH!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-8249348431520824302010-12-14T22:38:24.330-05:002010-12-14T22:38:24.330-05:00Sheesh!
