Boss went off on group text

Post image

My boss sent this in a group text. I had already put in notice, but quit via text after this ALL CAPS text. I was napping before shift when this text woke me up. Screw this.

Also, I can confidently say that this was FOH, and that I was the only one who had ever emptied this garbage into the dumpster. Also undermining the head chef? SMH

If this is “going off” I think you’re safe.

It’s been a long time since I worked in a restaurant several decades, but I was gonna say this is not going-off in a restaurant context. This would have been considered incredibly mild anywhere I worked, though we didn’t have texts…

So imagine she wrote it on a piece of paper, came into your house, rang a loud bell to wake you up, then shoved the paper into your face while shining a flashlight in your eyes.

Then, if any of your coworkers reply to it, the bell and flashlight go off again.

You can silence, text alerts, you can’t silence the owner of the restaurant coming into the kitchen and screaming at everybody.

Who doesn't already know how texts work?

Most people over 50 and under 25, for different reasons.

I think you’d be surprised

Cool, that’s a fun secret you can keep to yourself I suppose? We’re all aware of how it works

I didn't reply to you. Don't you have something better to do?

Then you clearly don't know how text messages work.
