Today, at my new fast food job, I was in charge of filtering the grease out of the fryers. I accidentally turned the wrong lever and flooded the kitchen with hot oil. It took over 3 hours to clean up, and my manager is furious. FML

Hi! OP here. I honestly didn't think this would get posted so I'm pretty surprised. They gave me a super quick run down of what to do, then everyone left the kitchen. The front cash people don't know how to do it, so I was left alone. The good thing is, it could've been way worse. My manager said that if it had flooded on the top, the fryer could've caught fire, so at least it wasn't that. I was really upset so my manager told me to go outside and have a smoke while it was cleaned up. She got mad at the kitchen people for leaving me by myself and talked to me later on. She said that everyone makes mistakes and that it was okay. I had to filter the fryers the following night, but I made sure someone was with me so I didn't **** it up again. I still have a job! Thanks for all of your comments. A lot of them made me laugh and feel better about the situation.

At least your manager wasn't a ******* and was mad at the right people instead of you. Glad to hear you still have your job!

Wow, your manager is like 7 times less shitty than most

Been there done that but I did set the kitchen on fire... so at least you're bettre than me

so basically you didn't clean up your own mess

And this is why you are working at a new fast food place.

That's nothing no to the 3 days of cleaning it took when the same type of thing happened at the win Dixie deli.. But we didn't have any of that powder stuff to clean it up so it took way longer

Was he fuming?

Did your manager say "pull the lever, Kronk"?

Been there, done that
