writes tessa, who works at a restaurant in albuquerque: “the day manager left this note for the night cook, who does spend all night smoking, watching TV and calling his girlfriend on the business phone.” (i’m sure this note will absoutley set him straight.)

Um….can’t they just fire him if they are “absoutley” sure he is smoking in the restaurant? Did they need this note?

When I was younger I worked in my fair share of “resturants” as a cook, and I can’t think of one where I had the time to stand around at all. However, also remembering how the employees were to each other tells me all I need to know about Mark. He’s the shitpicking princess that nags you about every little detail and complains about Carlos doing nothing all night, but doesn’t fire him. Seeing as Carlos doesn’t see much of Mark to get the nagging first hand he will ignore Mark and talk to his girlfriend about him all night long. There’s even a chance Carlos will smoke the note with a smile

#7 That is the the handwriting of the purely passive-aggressive. I know – I have an aunt that writes like that. If she had written that note it would look something like this:
Dearest Carlos,
I am SO impressed that you have committed the prep sheet to memory. No one has ever done that before! If you don’t mind, it would be great if you could put down your cigarette now and then and attend to it.
Of course, I would never fire someone for their habits (even if those habits may cause cancer in my staff and clientel) but times are tough and finances are tight – I cannot afford to pay one person to prep and one to smoke. I hate to say it but – prepping is actually better for business:)
Please let me know which job you’d prefer.
Kisses,
Your Auntie.

I want to know how Mark knows Carols is hanging around smoking?
It’s obvious how he knows that Carlos isn’t doing his prep work, because he probably comes in and finds the onions still waiting to be chopped, but does he employ a network of night-time spies to find out what Carlos is doing?
Also, if the restaurants I worked in during college are any indication, the “day manager” isn’t the boss of the “night cook”. “Day manager” is just a title they gave Mark to make him feel important.

I’ve seen this a million times and in my career as an HR Manager I’ve labored to get employers recognize that they are usually the root cause of these problems. Don’t empower lazy workers.
Mark is a manager, we aren’t sure if he has jurisdiction over the night shift but as a manager he should be dealing with Carlos in a managerial capacity. Notes like this actually transfer control into the hands of the worker.
Since Tessa confirms that Carlos is a deadbeat I can only assume that Carlos retains his employment by default. The employer can’t find a suitable replacement at that rate of pay and won’t increase pay to improve the candidate pool. Carlos knows this so he willfully refuses to peform his duties.
As a consultant my first move would be to replace Mark with a real manager. Then I’d implement a performance incentive program to encourage consistent prep work from the night cook.
Aftert that I’d call Tessa into the office and have her do a little prep work on my tube steak. Then I’d submit my invoice to the owner and be on my merry way.

the first part of the note sounds like something i’d say–behind the night cook’s back. ‘instead of doing NOTHING, maybe he could, oh, i dunno.. WORK?!’
but then again, being p-a is much more fun when you just shove it all inside…
that’s why this website rocks.
i do agree that it wasn’t so cool to have the note up in front of everyone.
i wonder what restaurant this is, because i don’t necessarily want to eat there at night. cigarette ash and salad.. mmmmmmmm…..

I was about to say what Lara said, more or less. The Day Manager and Day staff get screwed by Carlos not doing any of the prep work (so they probably have to do it all when they first comw in) Mark probably CAN’T fire Carlos since Carlso is on the night shift and Mark is the Day Manager (implying that there is a NIght Manager who should be making Carlso do his GD job) and Mark probably knows how Carlso spends his time while NOT working from those poor souls who are working swing or have some day shifts and some night shifts. I HATE lazy staff.

I bet the owner of the restuarant thought he was pulling off a fast one hiring himself an illegal Mexican to work the night shift but little did he know that Carlos was from Portugal.
Employers need to check the backgrounds of their applicants. If you aren’t hiring a 100% genuine wetback you might as well hire a black guy.

I like the way Mark oscillates between passive voice words/statements (maybe, perhaps, find the time, your attention to this matter will be appreciated) and attempts to be more forceful and assertive (doing absolutely nothing, do something besides smoking).
This note could be the very definition of passive-aggressive.

I know GW, but I’ll let you in on a secret:
After Joe Biden had all of his issues with Indians (dots, not feathers) and African Americans (Obama’s clean and talks good) somebody had to fall on his sword. Since Colbert is only interested in South Carolina and I’m not strong enough to carry my own ticket I went ahead and took one for the team. But Joe’s on his own from here on out, if he pisses off some other ethnic group I’m not defelecting that heat. Especially if it’s those maple syrup licking freaks to the north.
Now if I can only convince people that it was I who left Giuliani’s wife (the second one, right?)in her time of need I’ll still be on even footing with both parties.

I’m assuming Mark can’t stay and confront Carlos and tell him to do his fucking job because Mark is afraid of Carlos.
He leaves notes, then slips out the back door 5 minute before Carlos’ shift begins.
Actually, knowing Carlos, he’s probably late every day anyway, and there are people out in the dining room waiting for their Big Angus Onion Southwest Chipotle Burgers for like half an hour while he has a pre-work cigarette in the walk-in cooler.

Another vote against the low-brow racist humor.
Is the rule truly “anything goes” on this site? because I’m not comfortable with that.
…and guess what- didn’t we just kick someone off the site for some truly bottom-feeder attempts at humor?
Where is the line drawn?

Poking fun at stereotypes is not racist or offensive.
Believing in them is.

Maybe Carlos was forced to demonstrate his prep sheet memorization at the last company meeting, standing at the front of the group and reciting everything – if he missed an entry on the prep sheet, he was beaten within an inch of his life!
He learned it fairly quickly with that teaching method!

Nah, Troy, it’s actually a really funny (IMHO) piece of satire from 2001 spoofing those goofy Teen Flicks from the 80s. It was written by Michael Showalter and David Wain, two seriously funny yet deranged gentlemen, and the cast includes Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce and Paul Rudd among others.

I knew you didn’t think it was a porn but I also could tell not many people on here had ever seen it. It’s quite a hidden gem and I happen to really like Michael Showalter’s sense of humour. He has a few episodes of something called The Michael Showalter Showalter for viewing on the ‘net and I think it’s hysterical. Maybe check that out before you invest 120 minutes in the film.

Then came some things to maybe ponder, then just giving me the finger would have sufficed but after that everything was pretty huggable if not just wanting to get a feel of who may be hostile and who would just like to debate an issue. You know this is passive agressive type stuff. At first it is like being the new kid and trying to figure out who would like to crush you so you try to beat them to it. Anyway I guess I know who would love to crush me in thier arms.lol Don’t quite know if that means laugh out loud or lots of love? oh well maybe another site would suit me better.

Mee-Shee: The Water Giant
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia – Cite This Source
Mee-Shee: The Water Giant is an Anglo-German family film shot in New Zealand and released in 2005. It stars Bruce Greenwood, Rena Owen, Tom Jackson and Daniel Magder.
The film is based upon the Canadian folklore water monster known as the Ogopogo. This folklore began with Aboriginal peoples in Canada, and while the film was in production complaints from one Aboriginal chief about cultural appropriation caused the film and its titular monster to be renamed “Mee-Shee”. These complaints and the renaming drew media attention and generated controversy.
The film itself received some good reviews. Some critics praised the performances, although evaluations of the special effects were mixed. In Canada, Mee-Shee was only released on DVD and never played in theatres.

I mean, why are you judging someone in a forum like this anyways? I mean, are people in here really that bored in their own lives that they need to fill the void with semantics? That guy could be 12 for all you know and you’re laying into him like a damn interrogator. Lighten up… there are wars going on, you know?

Oh, Paleeeez, There are ALWAYS wars going on, there are always children starving…why have you not spoken up sooner on these world changing issues?
Read the thread before you post.
This is a passive aggressive site, not Oprah’s hot-line to the helpless!
And BTW, spelling and punctuation count in a medium in which writing is the sole means of communication.

Hiya Mishee.
Don’t you just love how he says “Your attention to this matter will be greatly appreciated”, as if suggesting that his attention to all other matters has been totally satisfactory, and that the only problematic matter is Carlos’ actually doing his job at all?

Notice it took this long for someone to notice that?
Goes to show you how much everyone else cares, even in the midst of a Spelling/Grammar debate…
But glad to know I wasn’t the only one who saw that! I tried to post a correction but got “You are posting comments too quickly. Please slow down” and then gave up!

On the original subjuct matter of this blog, perhaps Carlos has already lost his job due to the wildfire’s in southern CA ( Orange county being one ) which would probrably changed this note into a pile of ashes and would relieve Mark of the duty of actually fireing him.
None the less I find it ironic how my worst critic here has his handle in such a fashion that completely basterdised the English laguage and is yet consistantly a spelling / punctuation / grammer Nazi. Can This Be ?

*sob* <— as requested.
You know, “grammar” is really not that hard a word to spell correctly. It’s just not. Yet, I can’t tell you the number of times I have been accused of being a “spelling and grammer Nazi”. Deliciously ironic, wouldn’t you say?
Oti – and bear in mind there’s a lot of people this applies to, but you were the most recent – if you’re going to get into a war of words you really should show up with proper ammo. Post #303 almost made me poke my eyes out with a pencil.
Oh, and a happy return to “real time” day to all.

Ok, not “a lot”. More like one or two. And usually they disappear and reform every couple of days. But still, the point was valid…
Anglophile, that was over a month ago? Holy hell! Well, I’m sure glad you were mature enough to get me over that hump. I enjoy your posts.

I think Spell Check would have alot of fun in here, I’m not the only one who misspelled a word but do any of you Text Message ? or Chatt ? that would break a Spell Checker.
Point being that to many people here pay to much attention to the spelling of a blog entry which can be understandable but when it results to the utter bashing of someone, keep in mind that I’m not the only one here who has and the point of the blog entry is completely lost.

ROFL, Oti
And where is this mythic Albuquerque, California? Unless you think 800 miles between San Diego, CA and Albuquerque, NM is close. (There is the original Albuquerque in Spain – that one is 5800 miles away from SoCal).
You forgot to mention the Orange Counties in Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, Texas, Vermont and Virginia.
I’m usually live and let live, but please….

Now, if you had said Carlos moved to Albuquerque because he tried to cook a possum in an Orange County microwave, and the resulting fire sparked a massive blaze… that would be funny, and would have shown you have spent some time here.
Keep working on it, my friend. I have every confidence you will get there.
