Reply to comment by Environmental_Arm526 in TIFU by making vulgar comment to my boss while he was in meeting. by PocketOppossum

I am training to be the new executive chef after he goes to open a new restaurant. So I just hope it doesn't stop the promotion. I'm not too worried though. He is a good sport, and he has worked in kitchens for a long time, so he has heard worse. But I am very ashamed!

You should definitely talk to him. If you make him come to you to acknowledge your wrong doing you’ll be worse off. If you want him to put you in a position of responsibility you have to show that you can take responsibility.

You are totally right. The next time I saw him I apologized. He laughed about it, and told me paper would be sufficient.

This man is the opposite of everything you've seen about chefs on TV. He is always as cool as a cucumber. I've seen the man cry a couple times, but I've never seen him lose his cool. He is frustratingly calm, to the point that I thought he didn't care at all for a long time. He cares a lot, just not as much about the food as the people.

Glad it worked out. Did he forget to order the ingredients? Or was there some fuck up with the supplier?

He lost the note I handed him, and then he forgot to order my stuff. It all worked out though, we just started our new weekly special on Thursday instead of Wednesday. No guests ever knew the difference. Lol

Good luck with the promotion. I have said many vulgar things at work, and even once to our BP when he ticked me off when I was having a shitty day, so I get it. Doing it in front of others is usually a bad call.
