Keeping a sense of urgency Hello, so I have been working at my current restaurant for a little over a year now and its definitely had its ups and downs.  The chef just recently left and things are a bit up in the air.  But what it comes down to is people above me our getting promoted.  Now my work is already fairly abusive to me (verbally, constantly belittling, cussing at, threatening etc.). I hate it, absolutely.  But it is considered a more upscale place in my city.  How do I maintain my sense of urgency or a even giving a damn, when I have no hopes of a raise, no hopes of a promotion etc.  (I am still learning.)
