A brief monologue by Donald Burns criticizing restaurant managers as self-centered, directionless, and dissatisfied with their careers. Burns argues many managers lack hobbies or plans outside work, feel lost about identity and goals, and are bored — often hoping to be pushed out rather than finding another path.
Bad. Managers are self centered. They only think about themselves. They don't have any plans outside the restaurant, they don't have any hobbies, and they really don't really know what to do with their lives. They're kind of lost and that's sad. They don't know who they are. They don't know what they want. They just know that they don't want to work in the restaurant anymore. They are bored with life and they are hoping that their team will hand them their walking papers when they finally get so disgusted with them that they finally will quit.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
