@  vVv Nyx : (23 May 2013 - 11:26 AM) @vVv SugarBear Very true.
@  vVv SugarBear : (23 May 2013 - 11:26 AM) Show the owners the costs and how your solutions will save them money and they will listen
@  vVv Nyx : (23 May 2013 - 11:25 AM) @vVv SugarBear
@  vVv SugarBear : (23 May 2013 - 11:25 AM) @Nyx No company with high turnover is maximizing profits.  It's expensive to hire people, it's expensive to have unhappy people working for you, it's expensive to miss opportunities due to having to constantly train and retrain staff, and it's expensive to not have excellent people adding value to your patrons
@  vVv Nyx : (23 May 2013 - 11:24 AM) @vVv SugarBear lol Yes, I know I'm complaining. I'll hush, but yes, looking for other opportunies bc I know it's a dead end there.
@  vVv Nyx : (23 May 2013 - 11:23 AM) @vVv SugarBear They're doing great on profits. They were also ranked 7 out of over 700 holiday inn properties nationwide last year. Right  now, we're number 30 for the year, and climbing. Its a matter of being a very low-quality work environment to the point of it feeling borderline hostile.
@  vVv SugarBear : (23 May 2013 - 11:23 AM) @nyx well you can try to improve the situation, you can quit, or you can complain, those are your only options
@  vVv Nyx : (23 May 2013 - 11:21 AM) I took the job bc I needed it and couldnt find anything else at the time.
@  vVv SugarBear : (23 May 2013 - 11:21 AM) @Nyx true, show them the business case for why your solutions will earn them bigger profits
@  vVv Nyx : (23 May 2013 - 11:21 AM) @vVv SugarBear That's another hitch... I never, ever want to be hotel management. I simply don't have the patience to do it.
@  vVv Nyx : (23 May 2013 - 11:20 AM) @vVv SugarBear The next level up are the hotel owners. They don't care as long as there are profits and hotel awards. Other than that, really no involvement.
@  vVv SugarBear : (23 May 2013 - 11:20 AM) Best case you improve the situation and show the initiative of being potential management
@  vVv SugarBear : (23 May 2013 - 11:19 AM) Worst case you get fired from a job you don't want to be at anyway
@  vVv Nyx : (23 May 2013 - 11:19 AM) I'm as expendable as the next guy, sadly. I'm working on finding better opportunities.
@  vVv SugarBear : (23 May 2013 - 11:19 AM) @Nyx then take it to the next level up
@  vVv Nyx : (23 May 2013 - 11:18 AM) @vVv SugarBear Ask Flux if thats a possibility next time you see him on forums. He's my coworker, and will agree that our boss cannot be reasoned with.
@  vVv SugarBear : (23 May 2013 - 11:17 AM) @Nyx keep a journal over the next couple weeks of everything that makes working their difficult and then take it to your boss with a set of proposed solutions
@  vVv Nyx : (23 May 2013 - 11:17 AM) It gets old when you work graveyard, but get called almost every off day and during the daytime (sleep hours) to talk about work, or to be asked to fix something that isnt an emergency.
@  vVv Nyx : (23 May 2013 - 11:14 AM) I'm hanging in there, but I'm starting to wonder if it's really worth 9 bucks an hour and no benefits.
@  vVv Nyx : (23 May 2013 - 11:13 AM) @vVv SugarBear I do tend to stay positive, or I wouldnt have been there as long as I have so far. However, extremely high turnover rate is a pretty decent indicator of things.
