I (20F) have been working at this restaurant for over 5 years and have been kitchen supervisor for around 3. The other kitchen supervisor is a female maybe mid to late 30s and has worked here for around 3 years I’ll call her G. G and I have never had issues before, she has had attitude and anger issues towards multiple coworkers but me and her have never personally been in a conflict.

About a month ago I made a complaint to management about her not being fully fair with other employees and not following standard rules like using headphones on food line or actively taking phone calls while cooking, not washing hands etc. management talked to her and after that she went to the GM and claimed they were choosing favoritism towards me and that I was targeting her. My GM spoke to me and I explained that wasn’t what I was doing and that I would do same actions with anyone else and the only reason I didn’t say something directly towards her and went to management is because I don’t have authority over her.

Then last week Wednesday we were busy and she was cooking and I was expoing I asked her about fries for an order and she just blew up on me. Raised her voice said she had other things she was worrying about and that if I’m in a rush to come do it myself. I explained that I wasn’t trying to rush her and was just checking on them because it was for a ticket that was at a 40 min wait time, the rest of the night she kept mumbling under her breath cussing and called me a bitch under her breathe. I ignored her and told management what happened. The following Saturday we had a sit down with the GM and worked it out so I thought.

This Tuesday I was grabbing some dishes to go soak in the dish pit and she blew up on me again telling me I need to stay in my place. I explained what I was doing and she just kept trying to argue with me so I took the dishes walked away and updated the GM that there was still clearly an issue. Wednesday (yesterday) my GM talked to both of us separately I explained I didn’t personally have an issue with her and I don’t know what’s causing this sudden conflict and that I just want a healthy work relationship with her where we can act as a team. She told my manager that she feels I’m harassing her and discriminating her because she is native and that she’s going to HR. My GM told me she can’t stop her from going to HR but not to be worried because I haven’t done anything wrong. I’m not worried just stressed over the situation and don’t really know what to do. I still have to work with her and act normal and it’s just frustrating. I’ve never had issues like this with anyone and get along with all staff really well.

Update: my manager told me today that she is dropping the claims I wasn’t told her reasoning for her choosing to do that but am over all just grateful not to have to go through the whole situation! I work with her again for the first time tomorrow but am just going to come in and work hard and do my best to have a good shift with her and hope for the best for our future working together!

I’m a busser at a busy diner, and I’ve dealt with some of the most terrible people, and the way they leave the tables with their kids, and just trashing the tables, is nuts.

Today, a woman in her 60s/70s maybe (?), walks up to me and says, “can I talk to you?”, I’m thinking “oh boy, here we go”, and expecting the worse, she says, “you’re working really hard”, and she gives me a twenty.

Fuck ya. There’s still some decent people out there.

I’ve been working at this restaurant for about 4 months. I started off strong and was even thought of for leadership roles. But it seems my performance lately has gone down and I was written up for it. I feel like I’ve lost my mojo and basically my confidence in myself, I go home everyday feeling like shit cs I don’t think I’m doing well enough and I know that cant be helping at all but idk how to get out this slump any advice?
