B.S.!!!!

Brookie has been at the same job since she was 16 yrs. old, going to high school, and having a baby. She worked her way up from housekeeper to General Manager. I know you all know these facts, but there's a reason for this. Recently she told me her company has put a "freeze" on hiring new employees, wages, and a sabatical which you get every 5 years. Now follow along...she got reprimanded for low "GSS" scores(basically guests rating their stay) but cannot hire anyone new. I'm no genius but if you have a problem worker at your hotel you have two options. Fire them...but then you work more to cover that loss of the shift...and don't forget the wage "freeze" so you know you won't be getting more money anytime soon. Or keep them and possibly watch your scores suffer. Fire them and not be able to relace them because of the "hiring freeze" or work more....hmmmm..what to do, what to do. If the economy is suffering, like it is, then don't expect great scores!!! If your reason for "freezing" all of this is because of the economy, don't expect happy people all of the time!!! Not only that, but really, when's the last time you went outta your way to tell someone they did a GOOD job when you went somewhere. Usually all the bad comments are nasty and have to do with complaining, am i right? She has handled this better than i ever would have. People far more INFERIOR than her have been promoted while she has done everything they have asked. She got conned into going to the hotel she's at now so somebody else could go into corporate. She is truely an amazing women that i am proud to married to everyday. She puts up with things nobody should have to. I know you all feel the same way and i hope i did her proud on my blog. I'm sure she would blog about it if she could, but she's probaly a little scared somebody at work might find out and read. Well Brookie this is for you...it will be out in blogspace, but said by your husband who does'nt work for them....FUCK HOTEL EQUITES AND ALL THE PRICKS THAT WORK THERE!!!!

I was with you until your last sentence. Let's encourage her to look for something better. Let me know how I can help! I agree...she is stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Due to the R rating (for profanity), I skipped reading that one to Sydney. On the other hand, I feel so bad for Brookie. If anybody deserves a raise, it's your wonderful wife. :)
