Welcome to our slash malicious compliance where OP shuts down an entire restaurant.

Our next reddit posted from Dita Von Teets. A few years ago I started working for a buff based

out restaurant that's pretty well known, at least in the Midwest area. The job itself was horrible,

as most food industry jobs are. But I was grateful for the work and for my friend who had gotten

me the job there as a hostess, so I tried to put in actual effort. A few months into the job,

I found out that basically all the managers were doing shady things. Like, they were doing drugs

during their shifts and nodding off at their desks. They were sleeping with teenage waitresses and

giving them more hours in the rest of the staff. They would also cut people's hours down to five

hours a week if they ever complained about anything. It was basically all the horrible things you

hear about happening in management. I just went in, put on a smile and did my job as best I could.

The restaurant itself was going through some hard times. So one day, the big guy in charge.

I think a district manager or something came in for a staff meeting to basically rip all of us

a new one. And he put all the blame of the bad reviews and the low sales on the wait staff and me,

the hostess. I was told that I had to present myself more confidently by wearing makeup and

taking more care of my appearance. Which sent me off because first and foremost, I'm a feminist,

and that was sexist as hell. But also, I was confident in myself and my appearance. But it's

hard to keep a smile when I'm constantly dealing with people who are angry over outrageous

meal prices that were advertised as being much lower. Or people who are angry over their disgusting

food. I also pointed out to him that I've worked in restaurants my entire life. And I'd applied

to be a cook, not a hostess. And I felt that I was way more qualified to be back in the kitchen.

But I was placed as a hostess because they needed to fill the spot quickly after their last one quits.

So he told me that on my next shift, I could clock into the bakery section and work there instead.
