I can't afford to pay for an accountant. I'm paid minimum wage. When i was promoted to sous chef, i got a pay rise from minimum wage, to, minimum wage. I told him today that the reason the kitchen staff would not stop bitching is because they were treated and paid like shit to which he said that it was a business, and the chefs are paid the going rates for chefs. Told him to fuck off. Told him that our cook, not chef, is quitting today because he was being paid "the going rate" of £4 an hour to be paid £6.20 an hour, that a friend is a chef in a local restaurant on 25k a year, etc, that clearly they're not paying the going rate and he's full of crap. He thinks he's paying the going rate yet he wonders why every sous chef they try to hire since me takes the interview then never contacts them again, or why 90% of the chefs they get quit after a month without even bothereing to let them know. Sorry, ranting, about as unhappy as it's possible to be these days.
