I broke free. I spent my whole adult life working my way up the chef ranks, ended up in head chef positions at some well established places. Just before lockdown I decided I had enough of it all and quit taking a minimum wage telesales job (inbound for charities).
A month later I was tipped off to a bicycle mechanic position and my mate could put a good word in as I didn’t have any qualifications or professional experience. A year later and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. The only issue I have is managing things over a long time (jobs aren’t always finished that day due to stock issues). I’m cheffing everyday was fresh and I didn’t have to remember yesterday, just moved forward.
Still I can’t imagine going back, even though the pay is shit.
