“Between 2009 and 2017, Noma chef [Redzepi] punched employees in the face, jabbed them with kitchen implements and slammed them against walls. [35 past employees] described lasting trauma from layers of psychological abuse, including intimidation, body shaming and public ridicule.” Wow. Another famous chef with a long history of abusing his staff. Why do kitchens have cultures of abuse? If you can’t perform your talent without abusing those around you, you’re less skilled than you think.
