Ever had a manager who thought “positive energy” was more important than real support? 😣 Like, we’re drowning in tickets and they’re just clapping their hands saying, “Come on team, you got this!” Meanwhile I’m bartending, running tables, and out of silverware. I’d rather they grab a tray or seat a table than give me a pep talk.

You can tell very quickly who has actually worked one of those jobs and who just came in as a manager.

I cannot stand these types lol. We've got one guy like that here (not a manger) and his nonstop peppiness drives me up a wall. Please spare me the motivational spiel and just shut up and do your job.

Nothing annoys me more than toxic positivity, but that is especially true when you are using it in place of actually making things better. At that point, it's just a form of manipulation.

I’m definitely more of a hands on manager. I’d be so annoyed if my colleague was like that - I’d tell them to stop talking and start moving!!!

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?

Do you think culinary school is worth it? I've been a waiter for a year but really want to be a chef. The people I work with say to just start in the kitchen and work my way up but I think culinary school might get me where I want to be faster. The cost is pretty insane though. Any advice?

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?

Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
