Number of things to cover. This post will detail how unhappy I am with the current situation at work. Of course no matter how much I complain here or in the real world will change how I feel. It’s safe to say I’m not to certain how much longer I will be working at the hotel.

First up is the implementation of a demerits system at the hotel. I call it a demerits system, they call it a points system. Their idea behind this is that this is a system that will both reward and punish. You start with zero points and work your way to either positive or negative 35 total points. Rewards are redeemable for different prizes such as cd’s, dvd’s, or even free stays at different hotels.

Now the real reason this system is in effect is that it is a way for them to punish the employees. I don’t see it as anything else. I say this because if they want to reward me (or anyone else) for a good job they can give me a raise. Of course this won’t be happening, so I won’t hold my breath. You will also notice this gay points system has changed my website as well. Over on the right just below the quick links you will see a new info box that shows my current points total.

All in all this is just a stupid management thing. Which is cool, because I’m going to start charging them points to do anything that isn’t related to my job. For example, for me to train a new night auditor it will cost them 35 points total or working when it’s not my designated time will cost 15 points. Shit I’ll sell them my cell phone number for 35 points. Of course making sure I answer the phone will cost and additional 5 points per call.

Now this points system is trivial, what they have done to the night audit schedule is reason enough for me to be looking for a new job. And I am, but sorry no two weeks notice for you (that will cost 100 points). The audit schedule has been cut two hours a day. So instead of working four days on four days off at ten hours a pop, audit is not eight hour shifts. But we retain the 4 on 4 off thing. So the poor bastard that is stuck with the 3 days on will only be pulling in 24 hours a week. And that is unacceptable. Maybe if things would change it would be different. But I don’t see that happening.

So I’m no longer a full time employee the way I look at it. Which is why I’m looking for a job. And when I find a new full time job I’m saying adiós to the part time job. Which is to bad. But perhaps my time has come. Perhaps it’s no longer the place it used to be. And perhaps I’ve worn out my welcome there. Time will tell.
