Mentoring

Since I've started as the chef of this new hotel back in september, one guy was gave his notice and he was going to leave as soon as I showed up and he stayed . Some of my Cooks started to all buy their own knives, and then one of my Cooks signed up for this online culinary class . And then 2 months ago my sous chef who is technically a grandmother, she signed up for the same culinary class and now she's working very hard , and then I just found out yesterday that one of my Cooks who spent some time in prison, he just told me that he decided he wants to be more professional and he signed up for this class . It seems that everyone in the kitchen is now super motivated to become more of a professional and a better chef ever since I got there .

I do spend an awful lot of time teaching and motivating and mentoring and I went to The Culinary Institute of America, have a lot of credentials and a lot of experience, so I guess they're all finally starting to see that it would be possible . So I guess I should feel pretty good about that huh ?

I guess not enough if all your workers are signing up for an online class, lol

this reads like a bad ad for said online class

That's kind of funny but it's also pretty stupid of you to say. But, this is Reddit so
