It All Starts at the Top

So, first official week is in the books... to say I'm overwhelmed my be the grossest understatement of the year.  I'm trying to keep it together... I really am.  But there's so much.  Just. So. Much.

Orders. Schedules. Organization. Recipes. Menus.  And Staff... oh the staff...

So, I have some problem children.  Expected a little resistance.  Expected a little butt hurt.  Did not expect the level of passive-aggressive, childish behavior that I have seen out of the two that were supposed to be my leaders... my rocks.  This week will be their reckoning.  I'm not spiteful.  I am not passive-aggressive (anymore).  I've given them time to get through it.  Time to get over themselves.  Nothing is changing... In fact, it's getting worse.  I really didn't expect anyone to bend over backwards to help me, but I didn't expect this kind of behavior.  I'm not sure that they aren't trying to sabotage me.  That's fine. Their problem is that they don't know how replaceable they are.  They believe that everything is going to fall apart without them there... and it might for a day or two... but not for long.  You see, I know enough people and have enough support that I can get a team together that I can build and actually teach without getting so much resistance that I feel like an Ohm meter.  And if I have to, I can work 80-100 hours for a week or two to make sure that shit doesn't fall apart.  I'm not weak.  This is something that they are soon to find out about.  This is what they do not expect.  This will be their end...

So, my final thoughts on this... I'm struggling right now.  I know myself well enough to know that this is happening.  But I also know what my abilities are.  I know what I am capable of.  These folks are also showing me what they are capable of and they will unravel themselves in a very short amount of time if they don't figure that out.  All I'm asking for is to meet me halfway.  Make an effort.  If you can't do that, I don't need you... and the sooner you realize that, the better off you're going to be.  And if you don't realize that, I know that I'm not going to have to deal with you much longer. 

Peace out
