When you apply for a job, you normally are signing up for one job. A job where you will concentrate most of your efforts in one specialized part of the company. Apparently, my work does not get that concept.
We are very understaffed at work, especially during the academic year where a lot of employees (including myself are going to school as well). I was hired as a waitress, but myself and the rest of the employees find ourselves doing things that are not in our job description.
A former waitress would go into the dish room every night and help the dishwashers. At one time during the night, every person on staff looked at her with confusion. Women workers are not normally permitted to to operate dishwashing machinery, but without her, the dish room would have slowed to a crawl causing a huge backup.
I feel for the maintenance guys and dishwashers. They get to back end of all the work that needs done. If it isn't one thing its another. I've seen them work 12 hour days washing dishes, then washing the kitchen floors, stacking chairs, cleaning grills, then to finish the day with waxing and polishing all the wood and windows in all the party rooms.
That's proof enough that more people need to be hired. We may have two full time maintenance workers and about five part time dishwashers. That's nowhere near enough to run a smooth banquet hall.
To keep the line of stinky, garbage filled bus pans from lining the kitchen, please hire more staff. In addition, don't take out the anger of having not enough employees on the staff that you already have. Keeping them is important!
everyone at that place does more than they signed up for...the executive chef, in most cases, hardly ever actually cooks food. For example, On hells kitchen, Ramsy is the executive chef. How many times did you see him cook?....waitresses should waitress and that it. And guys at that place just get screwed over. Muscle is money to the boss. And since the girl to guy ratio of employees is about 5:1, the one guy probably has done everything there(I have been an employee there for 2 years and i can say i have done everything the law will let me)
ReplyDeleteI am member of a waitstaff at a Banquet Hall in Illinois, while there are definitely more females than males, the work isn't as segregated as where you are. Since I started working 5 years ago I've been moving tables and chairs, working on dishes along with the dishwashers, and cleaning up in the kitchen, hall, lobby, and bathrooms. I am smaller and weaker than any of the male staff but I have learned to do all of these things just as well as them. I don't mind doing this work especially if it means things get done quicker.
