Does any other Chef feel burnt out with this industry? I have been cooking for 18 years and have been a Chef for the last 6. I have reached a point where the job doesn't give me the joy it once did. What do you do to make it fun again?

After 22 years i'm looking to get out somehow. Even more so after COVID. The disrespect in the industry is exhausting.

In 2022 I was fed up had no staff, working 120 a week. When I left they found a full management team to cover what I was doing with myself and 3 full time cooks. It’s not easy and many times I wanted to leave it. So I finally did. However while I was out of the country I was connected with a really good boss and came back for a very solid stress free team. I hope it works out for me. But my advice for you is you need time for yourself and breathe, I didn’t have any money but I had a wife and connections in Brazil so i was lucky but it changed my life.

Change jobs, for a while or for good, the break from the kitchen will help you decide

Working in a large health system as a quality professional WFH. I rarely see anyone else on my team, and when I do present findings I see no changes happening.

I’ve been in healthcare for years but graduated with a masters in last two years and was hoping for something different. I have been applying to so many jobs and not many calls back. Any advice ?
