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.

    I still bark out a quick yes as a confirmation to anyone asking me to do anything(provided I actually do it ofc). I also once was sent home to iron my uniform because it was wrinkly. Depends on the kitchen though.
