So interesting that this really is the cultural norm for kitchens. Seems archaic and a cheesy cliché at this point, doesn't it? I find it hard to believe that one can't get the same (ahem... OR BETTER) high level results from inspiring people, respecting their efforts, and encouraging them to aim higher. People are less likely to take risks in an unsafe environment... that's office politics/psych 101... which only serves to hamper creativity and innovation. Sounds like there's a wide open playing field of change making available for the take.
Exactly! It's not the best or most fruitful environment. It's wild how some people thrive in that kind of chaos. I, however, am not one of them. I think many people aren't, but many have just accepted it.
One of the things I found so fascinating about The Bear was how clearly it drew the line between trauma-induced avoidance and the drive for life-eating success. We see it all around us and it's hurting everyone in a radiant sort of way.
Great read Ryan - I highly suggest reading his book "Sugar Burn" - It is great and a real insight into the world of the chef

Absolutely! It's a game where ultimately no one wins.
Love reading this Ryan! Respect and a simple thank you goes a long way! This reminds me of your talents as a writer!
Thank you so much! I fully agree with you—respect costs nothing and encourages success.
