In the past week or less, the GM who hired me has been fired, two employees up and left, and more could follow. New faces have been brought in to really shake things up. I mean I am someone who welcomes change, but come on. This stuff's getting real. Who signs up for something like this? Example: One day I get to work. Less than five minutes into my shift, a superior arrives and notices a fingerprint smear on the front desk. I fear that something as simple as that, and I am in no way joking about this, could cost me my position. I have worked plenty of restaurants and odd jobs here and there. I've been around good people, and I've been around trash. We have (or, had) a good group of people here! It's so frustrating when our people whom try so hard, have innovative ideas, and take initiative and get things done, are having to walk away because ownership wants to change directions.
I cannot even complete the audit tonight. And I'm supposed to be doing it like 5 times a week now. I understand why the other night auditor left, he had his reasons. But seriously man? If we all quit jobs at the first sign of something negative where would this world be. I know I'd be screwed, but apparently you'll be just fine. Instead of staying and helping your fellow employees through all of this transition, you just bail for "moral" reasons. Well if it was me, and it has been, my morals would say to stay on as one of those good people. They would say, 'hey Paul, not only will you be out of a job if you quit, but you are going to royally screw up the schedules of those who worked with you and cause an insane amount of turmoil in their lives, all because you couldn't handle three days of something different.' Ha. Call it "noble" or whatever if you want. Thanks.
This is all so stressful. I have never been more nervous about something like this. I can't even count how many work days I've worked consecutively now. Have a meeting today at 9 and I'm crossing my fingers. Then leaving for Philadelphia tomorrow morning.
