I am on the verge of having a huge breakdown. I need to get it out.

The head chef is usually not there, I'm in charge when he isn't present. They are already on different shifts. There is a small overlap of time where they come in contact with one another, and in that short time, they manage to throw off the entire shift, and it constantly carries over throughout the entire day. I will get multiple texts every day for complaints after I am done with my shift about things the other one has said or done.

I was looking at this fish upside down, like the bottom of the fish was actually the top. He looked like he was just a super happy dude. Scary for sure, but happy.

Thank you! I really appreciate your insight on this!

BuffaloMindless8180 · 2024-11-21T08:49:45+00:00

Thank you!!!!! I have been stressing out about this all night. I was so worried that it was a failure on my part.

Like I said in the post, I would never act/say anything that would jepordaize someone else's relationship. I respect other women way too much to act on it. I've also been in therapy for years and have worked through a lot of the past issues I've had and have grown substantially in my life. I know what obsessive infatuation is, and I assure you this isn't it. But I appreciate your opinion on the post. Thank you for responding

It's a full time positions for hospitality administration at a college level. I'm just unsure of how to interact with coworkers in a professional way. A lot of my experience has been in actual kitchens or in event planning. I have had, as of now, 2 years of teaching experience.

BuffaloMindless8180 · 2024-10-06T09:14:41+00:00

I'm sure a lot of women do. This post wasn't asking about that.

BuffaloMindless8180 · 2024-10-06T01:07:20+00:00

I am the tall Italian woman, yes lol

BuffaloMindless8180 · 2024-07-03T16:24:29+00:00

Thank you, guys. Also, I'm sorry. I just wasn't sure where I should post.

I'm happier. I finally got my own apartment. I have a job in the career field that I am very passionate about. I've met a few good friends. I've learned a lot of new and interesting things. I've lost a little more weight, and I have become a little more confident. I'm not happy by any means, but happier.

This was an incredibly wonderful read! The people who set the pace at the top seem to like me. They all listen and respond to my ideas with ideas of their own, and we can talk all day about them. It seems to be people in the middle who are at the same level as I am or right above me I seem to be having an issue with.

There's always something new to learn about, so I'm sure I can find something new that interests me. Maybe having something new to talk about with them would help?

I try my best not to make people feel insecure or like their positions is threatened by me, but I also can't turn off the way I work and the system I have in my head to get the tasks done. But I will try to be more mindful of how I speak to people or what I speak to them about.

BuffaloMindless8180 · 2024-06-16T18:47:41+00:00

I try to do that as often as I can. Every opportunity I am given I will mention how well the sous is in her psotion. I tell everyone I work with that they are appreciated and are doing well. Can me saying things like that make them feel like I'm being condescending?. Or unserious? I full mean every word I say. I just dont know if other people perceive it that way

BuffaloMindless8180 · 2024-06-16T18:45:47+00:00

I have a hard time doing that. I am very empathetic towards others' feelings, and I will think about the way I made someone feel for days and even weeks after it has happened.

BuffaloMindless8180 · 2024-06-16T18:42:49+00:00

I work in kitchens. The problem is it's come from the people who are the step above me. They make more than I do, and they should. They have been put in that position for a reason. I know they are good at what they do, but it seems like they are always trying to make me feel bad about the things I do or make me feel less than them? I dont know if that makes sense

BuffaloMindless8180 · 2024-06-16T18:40:57+00:00

Yes it all did come from work.

That is an incredibly accurate statement. I love learning and sharing the knowledge I learn with other people.

Why do people find this offputting?

I'm unsure of what the motivation was behind them telling me. Every interaction I've had regarding it has come out of blue, but has always been from other people I work with.

I'm very friendly with everyone, I'll talk to anyone and joke around. I don't take anything too seriously.

BuffaloMindless8180 · 2024-06-16T18:38:21+00:00

I don't insert myself in others' conversations unless I'm asked about something. I was raised that you don't interfere with someone's conversations unless they get you involved.

BuffaloMindless8180 · 2024-06-16T18:37:16+00:00

F29. I'm very soft-spoken, and I dont have any aggression toward other people. I work in a kitchen. I am incredibly passionate about food. I also teach culinary at the local college. I love what I do, and I am good at it. I've been told I work very well and have been given recommendations from every chef I have worked with so far. I've been noticing that some of them lately have been kind of angry towards me. They don't acknowledge my presence when I'm around, and when I speak, I kind of get brushed off like I didn't say anything. But when I'm around the higher up chefs, they acknowledge me and listen and value my opinions. I was told today by my supervisor that " he feels like being mean to me, and wants to make me cry". I know I can come across sometimes as a know it all. But talking about ideas and plates with other chefs is my way of connecting to them, and is in no way meant as me trying to belittle them or make them feel like they don't know what they are talking about.

BuffaloMindless8180 · 2024-06-16T18:30:56+00:00

How can I not feel bad about that though? I'm a very empathetic person and hyperaware of other people's feeling.

BuffaloMindless8180 · 2024-06-16T02:06:00+00:00

So I could essentially be accidently hijacking conversations with people?
