After 10+ yrs I can say...not really. Most managment either seems to fall into the "I'm a manager but I have no power to fix things" or "I have all the power, never around". Lots of great people and some great managers. But most places overwork, underpaying, and try to expand before fixing issues or investing in issues that will arise.

Most places seem to focus way too heavily on expansion or adding onto the menu/labor without any consideration for the effects. People get burnt out and find somewhere better. Which the article alludes to imo. Bet they cant hire or keep anyone long enough.

Edit- also if any restaurant talks about "family" or some sense of weird loyalty, RUN. It means they're gonna tack on more work without raises and expect you to be all "we're a team!" about it while grinding you into dust until you quit or your spirit breaks enough to stick around for years. Don't.
