I assume you also think every Chef working in a majorly successful restaurant under world leading chefs are suffering from the same, yeah?

  You paint with a very broad brush here, but I think that there is a pattern of toxic work culture in the kitchens of many top restaurants. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/04/dining/chef-restaurant-culture.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/04/dining/chef-restaurant-cu...

    It may appear toxic externally, sure. It's clear many benefit from the military-style discipline and focus on perfection in these places. So while it's easy to look back at something 'toxic' it completely skirts around the fact that their own personal skill likely benefited hugely from the experience.

      How does beating a dishwasher for taking a 45 minute break benefit his personal skill?
      • breakfastduck 6y ago
        It obviously doesn't. It's not that black and white.

      So how did Jobs himself become brilliant? Who berated and humiliated him until he acquired his talents?

    Everybody I knew who was a chef working for somebody else has quit and do other very different things now. Long working days, underpayment and stress were big complaints, but the thing that struck me was the correlation between complaints of excessive bullying, up to and including violence, with silver service restaurant kitchens. There’s something wrong in that industry that wouldn’t be remotely tolerated where I work.
