Working in a school cafeteria has become a nightmare, extremely toxic boss/ your mean lunch lady!
Today I got a text Congratulating me on 1 month, and to leave a review from my culinary company…ohh if I did I would be fired.
The kitchen is already understaffed, and yesterday one guy who’s been for a year and had a good relationship with the kids got fired for giving out free snacks. The kitchen manager was watching him like a hawk looking for him to mess up cus he’s already been slacking and taking advantage tbh he had a record.
Everyone in the kitchen was mad yesterday and today, you felt it in the air, the manager thinks I’m her friend so she openly complains about the other staff to me she and this one old lady have a huge beef, and now the old lady has beef with me cus I took the the guy who was fired station... she also complains about how all the kids are bad, today I saw her take a second lunch outta kids hands (what they had was free!! ) cus his balance was low. The guy who was fired would let it sly and taught me that it was ok too. Today I learned it is not….
My manager is toxic she seems to trust nobody and be watching and controlling but I can tell she likes me and my work ethic, so she is friendly to me but also still toxic. She shouldn’t be comparing me to the rest of the staff! That is wrong! ( I’ll admit I have a good work ethic I have adhd so I love being busy) Anyway today she increased my work load I now have a whole new station and today was a half day so my first day on a new station with less time felt like a disaster and I ran out of time to cook some extra fries before I had to go on the register and now I stand next to my mean lunch lady manager who is rude to all the kids. She even took away juice and ice cream. She threatened to take it away an again if the kids don’t start acting right.
She claims she only likes me and this other new guy and wants to replace everyone else these are things she confides in telling me, and I can’t stand it! But I listen and fake agree with the gossip which the other dude also does, cus we need our jobs and we’re young.
