i’d say to stick it out for a bit, especially if one of the reasons you’d leave is because some lame arses don’t think you deserve it.

although maybe your true strength lies in creating a great start, and you can do it all over again…?!

maybe on a lesser , not so personal and intense level… but like a restaurant consultant who helps fix up the messes that other create, like nanny 911 for food…

hummmm….

Dear Restaurant Gal,
I have been reading this blog for a while, sharing your highs and lows.
Hang in there. You’ve been through so much, you can do this.

I enjoy your writing.

After no call no show for 4 days; a GM should be fired. And I see no great reason to call the police either; most of the time when people no call no show; they just don’t want to work; or drugs are involived.

At any rate; I am still unclear (from your postings) why you are looking to leave this job The first few months of any start up operation are going to be tough, but if you just keep pushing through (sometimes) you can end up with a good gig. I was happy to read about a cnance at party planning (which you seem to be good at) and you seem to be booking a lot of gigs while doing well at other hostess tasks, so why leave now?

RG,

I don’t know why I’m compelled to comment…but this just happened on my street. A man did not show up at work for several days. Eventually coworkers called the police, who checked in the house. Sadly, the outcome wasn’t great. Maybe that makes me a bit more sensitive to an unexpected absense. If you haven’t already done so AND if you don’t have any other evidence of his whereabouts, ask the police for assistance.

Good luck with this situation and with the job concerns too.

Has *anyone* been in contact with him? I agree with krisinluck, somebody should go check on him, make sure he’s all right.
