I fucking despise the way my boss prioritizes profits above all else, including employee/customer satisfaction. Why bother pleasing the customer if you're just going to fuck them over the next time they visit? Tired of being blame for the complaints about shit that's managements fault and I have no control over.

Maybe if they paid me enough to actually be the employee they seem to want, I would step up and help keep the place in code, but noooo that's too expensive on labor hours. Maybe you should've thought about that before you bought a restaurant???

I'm sorry about complaining here, I'm drunk and don't have anyone/where else to listen to my unimportant shit.

This is interesting because I recently brought up with my own company the issue with pay and the expected workload. I told them in a meeting that I thought they paid shit and expected too much, this was confirmed by the manager saying the number one reason for another department quitting was shit pay.

The company does not own you, if they want to waste cost to keep retraining people because they don't pay their workers fairly then so be it. Play your cards right, raise the concerns and document the responses (get independent third party opinions just make sure you are correct in your thinking). If they are shitty then quit and find another place to work and have no shame about never looking back.

Here is the important part though, make sure you are not the problem. If they give feedback take it onboard and again seek third party advice if its correct. If it is then learn and grow. Appreciate the workplace for giving you the feedback and the opportunity to grow as a person.

It's a major problem, even though a company isn't publicly traded it exists in a business environment where the larger players are always doing that.

Yep it sucks mate, I get to hear a whole speech about customer whatever, but when competitor stocks go up I can feel the panic and I know in a while there's shitty changes coming .
