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.

      Definitely, two completely different goals. In the same way that there will still be concerts and orchestras and things, there will still be room for lovingly made art-food. Just hopefully it is rationed and made fairly. Personally, I quite enjoy fast paced food service work when it's not understaffed!
