Time flies when your having fun. Below is the audio recording of the phone call of me getting “fired” by my then boss the sheriff:

I listen to that every now and then to make myself chuckle. I love the reason given to why I was “fired”:

they they deemed that the morale of the team would be better without you

That bit still makes me laugh out loud.

Because I keep forgetting and Gawain reminded me here is G’s remix of the above call:

Memo Time! This shit gets thrown up on the back of the door into the front desk office. It’s not like they want to draw attention to this kind of news. The bits I like are below and the bolded stuff was done by me:

This hotel is in a transition period. With the loss of <Name Removed> and the slowdown in business travel, the guest service and overall value that we offer our customers must be better than ever. I am confident that <Name Removed> knowledge and experience will enable us to do just that.

So now I this read as we (the peons) have to do more work. For those of you not counting at home it’s about 2 years and 6 months since my last raise from this hotel. So they (the bosses) expect more work for no more pay. This hotel is slowly starting to get to me.
