He told me that he met with the EC the day after the stage, and they agreed on his rate and an official start date of last week Tuesday. My friend felt certain that everything was set and ready to go.

ok you missed the entire point.

was dude actually in a position to offer your friend this job?

ok sure, he may work at that restaurant, but he could have just been a random cook out lower level manager that had no ability for hiring.

Lol. What point do you think I’m missing…? Executive Chefs are certainly able to hire, and that is who offered him the job and whom he sat down with to discuss salary.

how do you know it was the actual executive chef? because your friend told you?

Yes. It’s because he told me, and I believe him 100%. In the several years I’ve known him to be many things, but a liar is not one of them. He’s at times irritatingly honest.

That said, I know the point you seem intent on making, so feel free to run with it.

Lol yes ECs hire BOH. The EC of Magdelena is well-known. A boastful line cook isn't sneaking someone on the line for 9 hours lol
