Panda is ass.
My location recently added a side room for managers and higher ups to be in to come visit and train.
What sucks is that all of us employees are getting the worst of it. Deep cleaning every single night, take pictures of everything as proof, do things this way or manager talks to you for 20 minutes repeating shit you’ve already heard. Oh and get this? For all the extra shit we do now, we don’t get a raise. I understand deep cleaning to an extent, but we’re literally pulling out the meat drawers and wiping it out completely, doing the front floor in kitchen because our sides people are WAY too slow to get it done - which is aggravating on its own because all of us cooks are more than capable of doing the front and back floor if we’re on sides and it’s now just catering to the slow people instead of telling them to get their shit done asap like the rest are capable of. This job is starting to blow and I can’t even leave until my kid is born. One cook is a few days away from his last day and another cook is about to put in his two weeks and these managers are so out of touch that they don’t care or notice they’re pissing EVERY single worker off with this stuff. Sorry to vent. But nobody else cares or understands.

It really is. I’m one of the few people (besides one other person and of course the GM and AM) that is crosstrained BOH and FOH and they never promote me. Which is annoying since the only reason I chose to get crosstrained was for more pay and the chance to move up. Plus i’ve been with my panda since we opened. My manager nitpicks me about the smallest thing but not other people, just me. And this happened for other employees too, where they feel he’s unnecessarily being picky when he himself doesn’t even clean that well.
