Keep in mind that in the food/bev service world there are basically two options. 1) work 40ish hours/week, get paid by the hour and make a little above poverty line money. 2) get a middle class level salary but work 50-70 hours/week, which usually works out to roughly the same hourly rate as you were making before. But you'll also have to manage other employees, who by definition are rarely going to be anywhere near as good as you at the job. You'll also need to be on call 24/7. If someone calls in sick or doesn't show up, it's your responsibility to fill in for them or get someone else to fill in. You'll get blamed for everything that goes wrong, and you'll have to deal with all the whiny unreasonable complaints of the hourly employees.
forgot the exact wording, but something in the lines of: 'a bright and new future is ahead of you'
oh no, this isn't starbucks. its a complete career change. well i wouldn't say a complete change, but it has nothing to do with food or coffee. anyways, i might even decline it if i ever hear back from them.
I might decline because an assistant manager role has opened up and i might want to apply. salary is 50-60k. and trust me when i say this. i can legit be one of the best AM/store managers this coffee chain has ever seen. of all the managers ive known, none of them were competent. nothing was done to better the store or help co-workers. sad really. this is why this company has such a high turn over rate. everybody just sucks at what they do. its pathetic that this company even offers them benefits. like 90% of these workers do not deserve it. its like a participation trophy. everyone gets paid even when they don't put in any work. America has gotten so soft.
see you soon, getting my high taper fade tomorrow afternoon, EV STYLE ��
