120k a year isn’t enough

The real takeaway here is we need to find what greasy spoon diner he managed to buy and avoid it to make sure we don’t get food poisoning 😂

Did he open up his own eatery? I missed (surprised?) that post from him.

My own inference. He claims he isn’t an employee anymore. It could be that he’s just on unemployment benefits too 😂

Lol. Proctor I have stated before I have no desire to ever be a restaurant manager again. I also have no desire to open up my own restaurant. Would rather not deal with the headache it involves.

I also don't draw unemployment. Not my style. I actually have a good work ethic.

So you’re not an employee, you’re not an owner/boss, and you don’t draw unemployment.

So methlab or actually paid Russian troll then it is! 😂

I worked a 90+ hr week one time I think in my life. This was as an engineer, not young slave labor. Once. My brain was misfiring at the end of it and we collectively told the test managers F off and fire us if they like but we are taking a damn break. I’ve worked multiple 70-80 hrs weeks back to back which sucks ( edit: but I’ll never do it again). But break that 80 hour barrier and your brain turns to mush quick

Long ago… back between undergrad and business school. I was managing restaurants down on the gulf coast, mostly in Panama City.

I routinely popped 80 hours, the occasional 90 hour week was not uncommon.

It was a corporate gig. I was technically salary up to 50 hours (I think?) at a whopping base of $32k per year.

We got Chinese Overtime after 50 hours. By the time you crossed the 80th hour you were making a couple bucks per hour 😂

Sounds like what Marriott would put their young managers through.

That's how my company was when I was promoted to manager. Now I have to have counseling sessions with any manager who worked more than 45 about how I can help them. It's been great. Far easier to sell the job to college students, who work for us, who we hope to convince to go up to Management.

Lol. The good ole days. I don’t believe you’d see many new grads even consider such a workload these days.

My gawd... what a pampered career. Only worked 90 hours once? And then you popped off to the managers? You sound like one of these millennials you guys complain about.
