Life as a Manager

Can't Wait

I am counting down the days to Turkey Day..
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah,
Hotel will beat last months goal. We are already at 176 rooms. only need 860 for the month. I think we will pull it off.

I am training one of my employees to become a manager. She really wants to and there seems to always be an opening somewhere. It is fun training someone new.
Well, had to fire a housekeeper. She always was late or called off on Saturday, told her if she was late again she would be fired. Guess she didn't believe me cause she was late again so I got rid of her. Made my head housekeeper happy cause she says I'm toooo nice.

Front desk doing well, sortuve, they do fine at the job, still little things they need to fine tune. Right now they all want to be the #1 dog so they are nit picking each other to death. I am having to stand in the middle to keep some type of harmony.
One sad thing. A friend of mine was hired before I became manager. I had no idea I would become one sooo quickly. Sue does a great job most of the time, but it is kinduve wierd having to correct a friend. What if I had to fire her???? That would put a hold on our friendship!!!! I wish I wasn't in this position because she is one of the people nit picking the others. :(

Other than the normal crazy stuff I still love my job and can't wait to go back tommorrow. I feel like I live there. My roommate just cringes every time my phone rings. It is always from work.

Well have a great day

Isn't work fun? LOL Rather, aren't the politics at work fun? Personally I don't know how managers handle having to fire friends. I'm not sure if those friends realize it's not personal, it's business. Still, I'm sure it hurts.

Where are you going to be for Turkey Day?
