Vent!

It wouldn't hurt to play nice while looking for another job would it? I wouldn't trust your present GM though.

You are indeed in a quandry, my friend! Certainly praying about this is a good option! If nothing is keeping you in Miami, perhaps a move to Atlanta is indicated. Also, looking for a new job while staying there is an option. So, option number three. No point in losing your job by going to the current owners and blabbing. They likely would get rid of you with no qualms if they had to, so why be loyal to them?!(This after my wife was just given her walking papers after busting her butt for 22 years at her current job!)

The above is stated without a thorough knowledge of the situation there. Certainly, a pow-wow with family should be at the top of the list of things to do.

¡Muy buena suerte, amigo!

Keep your mouth shut. You have no proof of either event happening yet. Wait to see how things play out and in the mean time float your resume around in Miami and Atlanta. If the place doesn't close you will have a job. If it does close you will either lose a job or have an offer from both the current owners for another location or from the GM for the existing location.

trust me I agree or have thought of everything brought up and run through all those scenarios a few dozen times. hope for the best but prepare for the worst. we have family in ATL along with some chefs I've worked with. I forgot to mention my GM is also an aspiring rapper. if you need a laugh or quick pick me up google "Taimark king of the Bahamas" and go to his myspace page and you can listen to his magical lyrics. thanks to all it helps when someone else says what you've been thinking.
