im not professional
i care far too deeply about my clients
and about being appreciated by them
i care far too deeply about my staff
and how happy they are
and i get far
far too pissed off
when i have a staff member who does not act like they
appreciate the fact that i pay them well
respect them
feed them
send them home with doggie bags
if they like
and treat them like i would like to be treated
honey that's the reason i started my own business
cause i was so abused in the kitchen
by primadonna "soup nazi" style chefs
that i vowed to start my own catering biz and treat everyone who works with me
like family
but today im having some trouble
cause one of my key people
who has been with me for years
obviously, in his heart, wants to move on
but until he does
he has decided that it's okay to be mean
nasty
bitchy
full on "soup nazi" o rama..
to everyone around him
especially me..
and i can't take it
to work so hard
and to treat everyone around me
so well
and then
to be treated
like puppy poop
it's ridiculous
this does seem to be the story of my life
i create my own monsters
i hire someone
treat them like a god
and then very soon they start acting like one
and lording over me
done the same thing with ex-lovers
treat them like my queen
and then pretty soon they start
acting like my ruler
so what's the trick?
treat folks a little less good?
keep myself a little bit more above and beyond?
sigh
i'd like the answer to this one
i'm tired of feeling like all my good intentions
are getting shoved up my wazoo
help
i need therapy
