Hi there…
Saturday, on the $Company birthday, all customers were happy… We managed to have coffee and cookies for everyone and all went right. In the evening, the whole staff gathered at “Einstein”, a very nice tavern in the city. It all started great until one of my chefs started a speech that sounded more like “In the last lear, your work wasn’t worth a word, but you have the chance to get better in the next year” than “Thank you for your part in our succsessful last year..” (and it was…). I think its very sad, that he is unable to appreciate our work of the last year, and the fact that we all abdicated our private time. I was nearly crying of anger, when he told me “I often think you are sitting around too much”… He only talked about everyones weak points, not even mentioning, what was ok in the last year. He only mentioned OUR weak points, not his own and he really threw his weight about too much. If he wants us all to act as a team, he shouldn’t do that that much. A team, that is all controlled by a big commander can’t act as a team.
Yes, well, he is unable to appreciate the work of my coworker and mine… Since that moment, it was terrible.
Not much happened yesterday though… I called MaBU (iirc it was the first time I called HIM 
) and we had a very long talk. In the evening i got sick and still am.
Today the chef of before arranged a briefing at the company, which I think is totally unnecessary. We all know what to do and where to improve, so its totally unnecessary and contraproductive to tell us about our weaknesses over and over again. He doesn’t talk about HIS weaknesses anyway… and believe me, there are some. Its very sad, and in some way, i’m sorry for him. Work would be much easier for us all, if he would just appreciate it. So… i’m very anxious to his talk today.
