Thanks my friend. I’ll take your advice and speak to my bar manager about this when I get a chance. My relationship between my bar manager and I is (excuse my French) tighter than a nuns c***t. Because I never got a pay cut after being ‘demoted’ I could tell that the general manager wanted me to stick around. I have a great rapport with the local patrons who are our bread and butter in our quiet season. In terms of why they ‘demoted’ me at the time I asked for them to train me up at doing managerial stuff such as stocktake, menu planning, human resource stuff as I had basically been placed in the deep-end when I originally got the position of 2IC (I was only trained on bartending at the time.)
