Evening Team
I am currently on the last month of my last trip as cadet. The previous captain signed off a week ago and the new ones methods i find a little "unorthodox".
A custom i have found myself receiving is lack of food due to the captain, in his infite wisdom, chucking said meal in the bin due to me being "late for lunch". As i am on the 8-12 watch and thus normally down for lunch around 1205 (lunch starts at 12) i find it difficult to come to terms with this management startegy. The first time was a surprise but i thought i may loose some weight and become more "buff", this unfortunatly has not happened and i am just left hungry.
This happens to both me and the other cadet i am sailing with. Also present is language which may constitute as verbal bullying. I am wondering if anyone has sailed with a captain like this before and how they dealt with it, having only sailed with very pleasant masters in the past i find myself rather inexperienced in this field.
My fellow cadet is thinking of writing to the company about the masters behaviour, im not sure myself due to it being my last trip and thinking i should just "bite the bullet"
All onboard are treated equally badly (i respect the lack of descrimination) and have spoke to the officers who have served with him before about how they deal with him, they have responded stuff along the lines of "he is captain", although i do appreciate the fillipino resolve i dont think anyone in any position should be allowed the behave in such a manner.
All comments welcome
Thanks in advance.
