Restaurant managers protecting the wrong people

A fish rots from the head down.

You lower your standards, your winners leave. You raise the standards, your losers leave. The only question is, who do you want to leave?

He's not wrong

Now...let's talk about how managers pay their staff...cause I don't think they have standards problem I think they have a funding problem

This is not just at restaurants. It's across the board.

At my job the issue is the management are the bad employees. Which is why darn near the whole department quit. And the employees left are looking forward to getting the extra work dumped on them. So the people left are already looking for the escape hatch. It’s like watching a slow motion train wreck.

Not just food service.

Maybe if the greedy restaurant owners paid a living wage.. there would be no shortage of good employees and they could dump the bad ones.

My wife once managed a pharmacy with about 6 unreliable part-time employees. She'd go in never knowing who was going to show up vs who was going to call in sick. She wanted to replace them with a couple of full-timers but the area manager wouldn't let her get rid of them. One time a guy flipped his shit over nothing and walked out, and the area manager intervened to get him to come back!
