It didn't occur to you to move up within the organization at least? Or pick a job with more forward progress? Were you like, working on a book or something?
Why?
I had an honest job, I enjoyed it, well, up until the new owner took over.
Why would I want to do things I don't want to do? I was damned good at what I did. I did all the shit work nobody in the kitchen wanted to do, and since between the old owners higherring me, and the new owner firing me, the old owners gave me TWO raises without me asking, and without asking me to change positions.
The original owners tried to get me to stick to script, which I did not. I got tired of waiting on bussing tables, and tired of the cooks dragging their feet putting up the truck. At first they fought me on it, but when they realized I knew what I was doing they let me go. I was also damned good at inspection too. All I did not want to do in that kitchen was cook. The original owners simply left me alone, and the kitchen was happy because all the cooks had to focus on was cooking.
Why would I want to be a cook or general manager? Because society says so? I did more at my position than any of the cooks or store managers wanted to do. All I wanted was for them to stay out of my way, and up until the new owner they did for the most part.
