Hello to eveyrbody and thanks for all the pieces of advice!
I wanted to tell u some things of my time at a Jw Marriot. I can say i learnt a little the movement in a kitchen. I have been helping banquets. Well i was one of the youngest guys at the kitchen, i realized the cooks dont have nice behavior, all the time they had to talk about sex and alcohol even its a forbidden topic at the hotel. Many time they have to ask u about sex, and if u dont want to answer they laugh of u or they joke of you. Thats why i tryed to work and not to talk. or i tryed to talk with other younger guys like me from a school. really i couldnt belive some things, others just try to seem they are the best cuz u are in the beginning and if u say something they shout u.
For example, i rememebr the chef told me to prepare a fumet. Well i was doing it and the cooks shouted me: why do u start from cold water??? i explained why, to avoid the boiling and for getting a clear fumet. Thye got angry to me, they told me it should boil and bla bla, they not only tryed to tell me i was wrong, they tryed to made me feel bad, like i didnt know anything, and many times laughinf of my school. I was hating the environment at my work, and i was asked many time why i wasnt smiling cuz the spirit froma Marriot is being happy. I tryed to smile but i couldnt after to being critized everymoment.
Other thing i hated was, i usually found food in my place to work, in my table, i hated that, to find yogurt or fruit that is forbidden. I could find food, that was terrible for me. Maybe cuz at school my french chefs have been very hard with us and well i loved my bromatology class and everything about how to take care of food, haccp and many things. Other thing i didnt like was, why everybody try to work just the necessary? if u stay more hours they get mad, or they ask u if u can do it. I didnt like much teh idea of working soem days 13 or 14 hours but it was work and a customer deserve the best.
I sometimes could see the chef in his office, i sometime couldnt see him, he just did the administrative work i think but he couldnt see how people was working. Of course i dont work like the, they are faster, they cook better than me, im in the beginning, but why cooking well is important if u dont respect people, customer and food? i really get angry when i see that. Thats why my co-workers ask me why i look angry.
Sometimes i think i wont cook but i can be good at checking how to manage a kitchen. I justw anted to say that. Iw ant to know if the kitchen are in that way, what i hate more if when they say, a cook should be "cachero" that means someone who has sex all the time, alcoholic or homosexual , its a little sad.
see u
thanks.
