I just saw The Menu (very good) and the military regime-esque sycophantic "YES CHEF" chants repulsed me. Gordon Ramsay has made a career out of screaming insults at his workers. How much of this is true to life and what is the leftist view on it?
I worked as a dish-hand and started and quit in the same weekend. Unbelievably high pressure and aggression from your co-workers. Is the answer "if they're well paid and have adequate time off it's fine"? Can a high pressure environment work with politeness and tact? Is the grotesque heirachy inherent in these workplaces?
I haven't read much so I have no clue.
Well, it's not totally accurate. You haven't mentioned cocaine abuse yet
i recommend boiling point if you want another film on kitchen work, this one's really realistic and relatable. It's all one shot, and about one really busy night. This way you only see snippets of the character's lives, conveying how everyone's life is on-going and devoid of an 'arc'. Chekhov's gun is fully loaded too, which I always enjoy.
