Job after cheffing
Hi everyone, I don’t know if this is the right group but it had the most people in it so we’ll see what happens!
Has anyone had to change their career from the kitchen because they developed some kind of issue with feet/legs that meant they couldn’t stand for long periods of time?
I’ve been in this job for about 17yrs now and earlier on there was an employer I was with for 5 yrs that weren’t too strict on shift length & taking breaks, unfortunately I was young n dumb and thought that’s just how it was and pushed through every week. This has been a big contributing factor to issues with my knees and feet and nowadays I can’t walk properly.
I’m wondering if there will come a time where I have to leave the kitchen behind in favour of a role that I’m not standing as much, cos I sure as hell don’t want to end up on Centrelink.
Has anyone had to do anything similar? What did you choose that was a more ideal fit?
