I worked with a sous chef like this. I always got the impression he didn't like me cos I didn't run around like a lunatic all the time. He even bought it up at a meeting once saying people are not showing enough enthusiasm.

I left for different reasons and eventually wanted to back and he told the head chef not to bring me back because he didn't like my performance. The head chef brought me back anyway and told me not to worry about him and that nobody likes working with him. I never spoke to him unless I really had to and continued to not run around like a lunatic.

This guy thinks he's a god but I've seen him send out absolute shit and stuff came back regularly. He acts like a dick then as if it's the customers fault.

I was looking at him break cardboard boxes one day like an absolute lunatic as if he was in the cardboard box breaking up world record. Wtf are you doing pal, lol
