TALKABOUTTA PREDICAMENT

Oh boy oh boy. Having me a drink waiting on a call back from one of my bosses to determine the fate of my future. For the last 8 months, I have been cooking for a hotel. I do entirely too much for entirely too little, so I went out to do an interview at an awesome new restaurant and got the job. I have worked there for two days now (my days off at my old job) and have said nothing about it to my old boss yet. Thing is, I'm scheduled to work at the old job tomorrow, so basically I HAVE to talk to him ASAP. I'm going to give him an ultimatum. Either a raise or I'm out. They are going to be FUCKED if I'm out, and I'm giving them less than a 24 hour notice... But fuck it. The new place isn't quite as cooking oriented as I had hoped, but it's still an awesome place with awesome people and all natural/organic foods. The base pay at the new place is less than what I make now, but they are estimating it would be more due to the fact that tips get split with everyone rather than just the waiters/waitresses... Which is a bit of a gamble. If things stay as they have been over the last few days (the first few days of being open), pay should be quite a bit better... But that's still a bit of a gamble. So I'm having me a bit of a predicament... What ever happens though, I'm excited to find out and go forward into the future.

Man I'm pretty f'ing good myself but most of these kind of jobs only require a body most times but I have noticed when I leave such a place they end up hiring 2 people to replace me so by rights I would ask for a substantial raise in pay, none of this dollar raise bullshit. And yeah splitting tips is bullshit you can't trust wait staff to be fair you may be shooting yourself in the foot.

In the future I would give them way more advance notice. I understand not wanting to tell them flat out that you are looking at other options but I certainly wouldn't want to tell other people that you are worth hiring if you told me the day before you had to work that oh yeah, I got another job.
