My GM let go one of my best servers. I’m just a manager but like that makes no sense to let go of a high performer. I can’t seem to get an explanation out of him… any thoughts?

Peak performers are often the target of irrational behavior due to their success. In my personal experience it’s because the other servers feel they are unfairly being rewarded and will often work to get the peak performers fired so they don’t have to match their performance

Ooooooooh - I did not think of this! They must have gotten the GMs ear and said things to get this server fired… wow that’s crazy.

Good workers are a threat

Apparently that is very true!!! Crazy!!!

Gotta be something going on behind the scenes that he's not comfortable discussing with you. At least I'd hope there is. Because if not, this is a really stupid move. Good workers are hard to come by and shouldn't be dismissed thoughtlessly.

When someone is let go, especially someone who appears to be a good worker, there's always a story that goes with it. I'm guessing the server offended the GM in some way. Or they committed some infraction that was serious enough to warrant firing, yet no one is comfortable talking about it. If you're clever in how you poke around perhaps you'll get the real story.

Yeah maybe the server offended the GM - I doubt she committed anything serious enough for a firing though. Makes no sense to me!

Could be that a quid pro quo scenario turned into a quid pro no.

Colleague has put in his resignation. They are offering him whatever he wants to stay including 4days a week work from home. He’s not bluffing and plans to leave. However, at this same time I was asked to begin working as a supervisor for the engineering team and I would get a promotion at the beginning of the year. I have been supervising and managing our team of 6 for months with no extra pay or bonuses. I was told yesterday that raises will be light this year. Yet today they spare nothing.

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?

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.
