I am still covering at my "old" job but since this is temporary until the sous is able to return that leaves my life a little up in the air ...
So why would I just walk away and not know what's going to happen in a few days or a few weeks? Because what's right is right and what's wrong is wrong and I cannot take working there anymore.
In my last blog I told you of a guy I was at odds with ... I am no prude in the kitchen ... I can dish out the sexual innuendos and roll with the punches with the best of them ... But there is a line and you just don't cross it. The last few times we worked together this person would walk passed me and act as though he might kiss my neck or something equally inappropriate ... Well on Friday I went to get my paycheck and he decides it's appropriate to grab my ponytail and jerk my head back in a sexual manner and start kissing and licking my neck to which I snapped and told him im with no uncertainty to keeps his fucking hands off of me. He just laughed.
I decided to tell my chef I couldn't return because I couldn't work in that environment and that even if he was dealt with it would still be a matter of Bethany tattled making it uncomfortable for me to be there.
Quite frankly that is bullshit ... I was told he would be reprimanded .... SERIOUSLY??? Reprimanded?????? How about terminated ... Seems more appropriate. Yet alas he'll still have a job and I will now have to locate a new one in a short window of time.
I have anger about this ... And hate that being a woman in this (or any industry) means that sometimes you will have to deal with moments like these ... It shouldn't ever happen ... But I am more angry that coming forward means your the "rat" and means you are the outsider when you did nothing wrong.
That being said ... I have made the right decision and I hope that no one ever deals with that and feels the need to tolerate it out of fear (although I know it does happen) ... I will land on my feet and I know that but it shouldn't have needed to be this way
