Rule 1: Don’t take a management position…butttttttttt
So I’ve been at my current place of work for a long while now, one of the longest tenured bartenders currently. I’m pretty passionate with my work and have always been very keen on learning new things and have amassed a large volume of knowledge impressive for my age when it comes to bartending. I’ve created menus for this place as well as become popular with reps, the person to talk to about a recipe (whether it be a cocktail or an in house made syrup/juice/concoction). Management has been on the search for a bar manager and wouldn’t think to even ask me based on my age. However, I have been doing things like orders and reworking our inventory system for the love of the game really (and bcs prices were wack) one of the managers said that they heard I might be interested in a position where I’m in charge of things like inventory, orders, organizing with reps, menu creation, etc. I told him sternly that I’d only even think about it if I am in no way in charge of staff in any way. They said it’s understandable and that we would sit down and talk in person about it. Im very certain that I’d be happy with what I believe to be the description of the job, and would honestly take it for a cute little hourly bump, nothing crazy. But I do want everyone’s opinion, is this a trap? A great opportunity? Am I a dumbass for even thinking this is a possibility? Honest feedback is very needed:)
