We are at a time when jobs are hard to find. There are replacements. Give them a chance to improve, and if they dont, find the replacements?

I know nothing is ever that simple. But it just seems to me that you can focus on what is within your circle of influence, and be happier, instead of what is out of your circle, and be resentful.

Why not? Because it's not up to me. I am a worker bee, not the Queen. I have a ton of responsibility and no voice.

Thank you for your opinion. I'll take it into consideration when someone calls me at 11pm and berates me for the water shooting out of their wall from a poorly repaired pipe or someone's fallen off the balcony because the railing wasn't secured properly. Or maybe I'll pass that onto them, although I really don't think they will appreciate the nuance of it at that hour and if someone is cold, wet, hurt or all of the above. I don't mean to be harsh, but it's so easy to pass judgment when you are not involved in the situation.

Jobs ARE scarce and that's why I present my argument for whatever the issue of the day is (and yes, there are issues daily), then suck it up when people who are in the hospitality industry for the first time ever tell me what is the right thing to do, then tell me they feel it's best to cut hours for myself and the only other full time person on staff, and try to remind myself that I'm only here for a few more months since I am more likely to get canned than them. Sad but true.

Now, back onto topic!

If you'd like to further engage me on this, please pm me.
