What is going on in the restaurant management industry…I have never had such a hard time getting a job or had such a horrible experience. Getting completely ghosted, no replies to applications, no follow up, sometimes going through multiple interview and hiring processes and ending up with no response. I have lots of experience, great references, full availability. The companies using AI are the worst.

Its crazy out here! When you have experience and you're actually good, or should I say great at what you do, they treat you like an outcast! Lots of jealousy and envy, people playing with others' livelihood, its literally ridiculous! I've been in this industry for 20+ years, and I can't find a job because the managers are intimidated by how fast and efIficient am, how much experience I have, and my lack of contributing to their drama, bs, and fragile egos. They want to know your life story and what you've done, are doing, will do-- for a serving job? Like be serious! They only want to hire unreliable, inexperienced kids that they can bully and bs, and then complain about the help! I come to work to work! To make a living for myself and keep my bills paid, not to play around, participate in petty drama, or kiss anyone's ass. This industry used to be so awesome, now its a fucking joke! And look whose running it. God forbid you're someone who doesn't call out, or goof around, you're a threat with a target on your back! I'm looking to open my own establishment and show these people what running a business is actually about! Great food, Great service, and Great leadership! Alot of these "owners" are running their own businesses into the ground because of who and what they have working for them! I am over it!

It's every industry. We are all competing for the same tiny handful of jobs, and businesses have used that as an excuse to treat all candidates like dirt. I have also noticed an increase in victims of mass tech layoffs grabbing up restaurant and retail jobs as well.

Could be the area cuz didn't have trouble getting job out side of were im at just u dont have to put all places on app just a 1 or 2 is fine just im going to go threw the process cuz that's what ur sport to do when thy just want u to jump in but u could allso be kicked out for cuz they half to hire u legally before u work.u can't just go in an start working cuz aprntly that's illegal

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.
