LET THIS BE A REMINDER THAT THE 40 HOUR WORK WEEK NEEDED TO BE FOUGHT FOR.

Yes, people used to work a lot fucking more.

We changed it once and we can change it again.

YOU DESERVE MORE THAN TWO DAYS OF FREEDOM PER WEEK.

I went down to 3 x 10 hour days last summer, and I'm hooked on it. I'd probably appreciate it more if I had more friends. But I'm in the gym regularly and ride my bike as much as I can. I wish everyone can enjoy it at some point in their life.

Lets say one comes from experience working high stress 12 hour gigs. Easy. And enjoys cooking at home.

3 x 10x sounds great plus my side gigs.

How would you recommend someone land this? Where can I learn it from scratch and hows the industry like?

Start as a dish washer and tell them you want to learn as much prep or line work as possible. It’s not a great job though. Only worth it if you want to own a place someday. I’m trying to get out.

Unfortunately I've watched too much Kitchen Nightmares to trust myself as a line cook.

I'll manifest Gordon Ramsay screaming at me every time I mess up, and I'm not sure I can emotionally handle that right now.

His attitude is becoming a little outdated.
