Saw a stat about how many line cooks leave within 6 months and it hit different
Was reading through some industry survey from Culinary Institute last week and saw that over 70% of line cooks quit before hitting 6 months. That number was way higher than I expected, especially after burning out myself back in 2019 at a diner in Portland. Has anyone else noticed their crew getting thinner way faster than it used to?

Not sure that number is exactly right. I remember reading the actual Bureau of Labor Statistics data and it was closer to 50-60% within the first year, not 6 months. Still high but not quite as bad. A lot of those surveys only count people who formally quit too, not the ones who just stop showing up.

Aint that stat from a survey that only asked people who actually stuck around long enough to answer it though?
