After working one month in f&b as kitchen helper, I think kitchen work more toxic and politicial than office

My experience.

Office:

when I just big4 audit as intern or fresh graduate, the seniors take on the hardest work and last to leave work

Kitchen:

Straightaway call u new bird. Plate u wash. Floor u wash. While seniors go smoke or go home

Office:

People generally talk to u nicely when i make stupid mistake as freshie

Kitchen:

Scold u with vulgarities. Kenna u stupid. Scold ur 18 ancestors

Office:

Guide u when u are intern or freshie

Kitchen:

Ownself learn. U die ur problem. Best u look stupid so they look good in front of bosses

Office:

Even if there is disagreement. People talk in a civilized way.

Kitchen:

Disagreement saw people physically fight and threaten to use knife kill each other

What do you expect in kitchen

Who are the people who worked in kitchen?

Did they study till tertiary education?
Or just apprenticeship with lowly education with a guy who has low education too
And end up get F for years as part of job.
Do shite etc

So they dish what they suffered to you

Sounds exactly like the profession where you have to don pixelated uniform

there's a reason why they are in the kitchen in the first place.

I work pt in kitchen b4. The seniors will carry chef balls and go smoke while non smokers like me clean the kitchen. Most, if not all are smokers. Ended up i only one in the kitchen.

I always feel the taste of the food is affected by the chefs and environment it was prepared in...

Pardon me for saying this.
The lower you go, the uglier the human nature is.
If you heng, then you meet the nice people.
so true. it is always the better educated people in higher level jobs who are more careful, graceful and intentional with their words.
