Two Week Notice

by Steve Bryant » Fri May 21, 2010 5:13 pm

I guess a chef giving a two week notice is a thing of the past. I seems like the honorable thing to do but maybe I'm caught up in the past. Did things change and no one told me.

Especially when you know you treated them right and they do it to you on a Friday night.

What a terrible thing to do, and it happens way more than it should. It's like people don't care about what they're doing to their reputation.

Steve is an accomplished chef and I am sure he has it under control. I bet he just felt like venting to his online buds.

I worked with a chef who quit derby week after trying to leverage a raise and getting denied. It was pretty dirty but another chef came in quickly (who was much better anyway) and kept the ship rolling. :wink:

I don't think so. It is unfortunately a common occurrence in the food biz.

Thanks Eric! Bailing over Derby is, I think, punishable by death....? (pitty that that particular nameless ship was sunk irregardless of dude bailing out, but it was fun just the same...). Hope you are well and keep in touch lad!

It probably wasn't. What gives you the right to presume what the working conditions were like. Some people have no loyalty or sense of what is the right thing to do - which is to give adequate notice. I have had it happen to me too.
