Promotion over happiness



I really like the kitchen where I am working now, I like these Italian chef team. With them I feel so comfortable, these Italians are nice people, happy people. They maybe speak a lot of bad words but its fine for me those are just expressions. So bad that  I need to leave.

Three days ago my Executive Chef called me on his office and ask me if I know why he called me. I said maybe you're going to transfer me to another kitchen. And I am right, he ask me if I am happy. I answer no because I like it in my kitchen now. Then he explained to me that I need to grow and I have no chance for a promotion in my kitchen now and he can only give me promotion as a Demi chef de Partie in another kitchen. He told me I need to choose wether I stay in my Italian kitchen but will not get promotion or he will move me and will give me promotion.
That's a promotion, how can I say no with this kind of offer, I didn't ask for it and it was the chefs decision.

Good salary, big responsibility, new kitchen, new people, new cuisines for my new position. The thing that bother me the most is the new people, the chefs that I am going to work with.
I remember the days when I was new in the kitchen that I almost give-up not because of the work but because of the peoples attitude.

These good salary, responsibility, new kitchen, new cuisines are the best part because with these things I am going to learn new things that for sure a big help in moulding my future.

Tomorrow I will start to work in my new kitchen, new new new everything. I just hope that life will be good here.
