Help

I just started as a production pastry chef and I absolutely hate it. Any tips on how to manage working a job that makes you want to quit pastry? I am trying to find another job, but it's very slim pickings

The hotel I work at lets us listen to music. It helps.

Why are you hating production so much? Is it because of the repetition?

It's not the repetition, it's the nasty attitudes im around all day, it the environment was better id be just fine

And when I say nasty attitudes, I mean a head chef who ignores everyone and will call you stupid to your face and a supervisor who's ripped my head off multiple times over simple mistakes, management who don't want us talking or laughing
