/ck/ - Food & Cooking

How do I deal with bullying culture in the kitchen?

I work as a Potwash in a country club and live on site. I share my apartment with a couple of the cooks and they make my life pretty hard, mostly owing to the fact I am not a very good chef.

For example yesterday I was cleaning dishes and one of the chefs passed me a plate and said 'someone vomited on this plate Potty' and handed me a dish.

It was a dish with my leftover lasagna that I made the previous night.

Other times they just act straight rude and cruel because they consider themselves above me. for example o Halloween I came to work in an Octopus costume to make a joke about how much better I'd be if I had 8 arms and they started saying that I can't be an Octopus because an Octopus can open a jar but all I can do is put soap into one and rinse it. Or that I can't be an Octopus because they are good at escaping from places but I can't even escape my futureless potwash job.

I haven't even said anything about it, I just politely laugh and go along with it. they paid a male stripper to dress as a cast iron pan for my birthday and made me wash him. I thought going along with it would make them like me but it has made it worse.
