So you want to be a banquet manager

Are you nuts?

Do you have any idea what that really means?

Oh sure, you think wearing a tuxedo is cool & it makes you look like James Bond or something. But it only makes you look like a damm penguin!

The term "the grass is always greener on the other side" really applies here.

This job is great for you if you like the following:

* never getting paid what you’re worth
* working 70-80 hour weeks without any set days off
* always having to deal with cranky chefs & dopey sales people
* never having weekends or holidays off to spend with your family
* dealing with union waiters that make more money than you do
* and worst of all, absolutely NO job security

Other than that, it’s a great job.

Some of your main job responsibilities will be:

* pleading with the waiters to come in for a last minute (pop-up) event
* having to explain to them why the gratuity (tip) was so low for the event (greedy bastards!)
* arguing with the sales manager as to why giving you the room diagram on Saturday morning for a Saturday night event is not acceptable (duh!)
* explaining to the General Manager on Monday why you “harassed” her when she “got you the diagram as quickly as she could” (that bitch!)
* fighting with the chef because he didn’t give you enough food for the damm buffet (happens all the time)
* explaining to your wife why you can’t go to her friends dopey birthday party tonight because you need to “do a double” because your assistant called in sick (even though you planned it that way)

And that even before you deal with any zany customers!

I think I need a real job...
