Executive Chef Jobs

I work harder...
Executive Chef - (City withheld for privacy), Florida, United States
I work harder than majority of the cooks on the line and i am no doubt one of the lowest paid cooks there although i know more and perform professionally. The other cooks know half of what i know and are making more but the managerial positions can obviously see i am of more value.
