well i pulled the 3 younger ones aside to day and told them something similar ,all to give the same answer when certain things were said and if he has a problem talk to me the head chef

lol lucy brilliant ,he is 10 years older than me and maybe that is a problem right there a 37 yr old man telling him what to do.demoting would be the perfect answer..

My motto is always raise hell If I know I am working hard, then I know my worth. Unfortunately a new phenomena I have noticed is title collecting. People like titles. Perhaps you should demote him

I like your style Lucy. I work hard but have an ordinary title. Am I worried about a job title/description - am i f**k!
Job titles don't pay the bills.
If the bullies in question have a fancy title, take it off them. They'll probably stop being a prick to other people.

Its a sensitive issue. I've been on receiving end of what I consider a money making freebie. Keeps you record in writing and keep every minute detail. After that prepare for a hell of a ride( and not in the nicest possible way) after it goes legal.

Thats the problem, really. We have all become so involved in the mechanism of getting ahead we forget what it is that gets us ahead- enthusiasm! My parents used to own a tea room. It evolved into a restaurant with rooms, The chef has to have a sous chef. The sous chef had to have a porter. The porter had to have a maid. And so on. M dad told me once we all have a different title but its the same code on the P45. He sells boats in Sydney now
