My head chef hired two of his friends. I know for a fact he's paying them a premium. When I asked how much chef was paying him he got super defensive and at the next meeting chef threatened to fire anyone talking about wages (Which is illegal). He also schedules them for the perfect schedule. I work every night, every weekend. 

They only work AM shifts and leave together. I have asked for at least one AM shift, as I'm tired of closing every night. I also expressed the fact that I would like at least one day of the weekend off. Both seem like impossible feats for me. 

Anyone else dealt with something similar? Im guessing the answer is just to bite the bullet or get another job.
