Dunno if you know this, but the whole video side of escapist resigned and started their own worker co-op called Second Wind.

Thankfully Sundays are double pay in Finland, so we are always closed on Sundays. Then the second day off we have a random weekday (excluding friday and saturday). Monday off rotates so that everyone in the kitchen gets 1 Monday off once a month.

We also get vacation days, but mostly during the quiet season. Always working on public holidays, unless it’s the kind where people go to their summer cabins, out of the city.

Worst part is the owner has been saying he has too much staff and that kitchen should also start running some of the food. We are stretched so thin we do prep at the same time we handle the service as well.

I start working the moment I come to work and finish work when the place is closed, 6-12h. I work in a kitchen. Only times there might not be work is during the quiet season when we’ve managed to do a deep clean already the day before. But mostly I only work and then rest on my days off these days.

Only time I have for even thinking about my hobbies and friends are when I get two days off in a row once a month. Probably going to have to look for a new job before I burn out. These comments about only working for a couple hours a day are really making me envious.

My brother, I work in a kitchen. The people there do, (and have) told their fellow workers when they smell. Either when they don’t shower enough, or when they use too much deodorant.

I have some that is for sensitive skin without any additives. I just scrub my armpits really well for a bit longer under running water.

But now that you mention it, I got a new brand of antiperspirant recently that I’ve had issues with, so I might just need to use soap for that.

I had a long time of issues with my skin, and when I researched for causes I realised I was using too much soap. So I switched to soap every other day, once a week and eventually just dropped soap altogether when I found I didn’t really need it. Haven’t had any issues with my skin since.

I haven’t used soap in the shower for at least five years. Only when cleaning hands, and I do use antiperspirant) I just scrub myself with my hands in the shower top to bottom. (I am bald tho).

No one has ever mentioned me smelling bad, even my current co-workers who do say it if someone is smelling.

Someone from that other instance needs to look for your community for it to show up on that instance.

Pasta al limone is my new favourite pasta to have during hot summer days. I recommend making salt preserved lemons and using them to make it, like in this video’s second recipe.

If no one in my instance has subscribed or looked for a community, I won’t be able to find it with the search unless I have its address.
