I work for a stupid (for lack of a better word) organisation. This has become very apparent to me today, with my F+B manager whining at me about staff costs. Essentially, we have a system which requires us to have certain staffing levels based on reservations and hotel occupancy, and is unalterable. Despite this, the F+B manager thinks it's ok to bollock us for having wage costs over a certain point, although we're following his directions to the letter.
What kind of idiot does that? Employee turnover is ridiculously high, because people get sick of this crap, and he seems surprised.

Work aside, I have now discovered I hate Limewire. That stupid program has infected my PC with some kind of uber-irritation virus, and I am decidedly unimpressed.Having multiple copies of a program continually opening and reinstalling themselves onto my computer will drive me insanr, I think.

On a lighter note, with Gigantour just around the corner all these petty little concerns seem to be melting into the background and are steadily being replaced with the sheer power of metal. It's gonna be an intense few months of concerts...

Though they may be few and far between there is something to be said for an entry that display intelligent utilisation of language. You managers (from what I've heard of them) do seem to embody poor management practices. Unfortunate, to be sure.

Cheers for that. The Vibe management practices are laughable at best, and quite sinister at worst. There's nothing like working for idiots to rob you of your faith in humanity...

Amen to that, my friend. My workplace has a high staff turnover as well. Everyone who isn't weiiling to be fucked in the arse usually leaves in a few weeks. I just stay out of managements way whenever possible. It makes it easier ...

Re: Work related whining
It's curious isn't it... Staff turnover is considered the biggest "waste" of funds that any business can incur, yet so many companies seem to forget it when it comes to employee incentives. Fuck; I mean how hard is to offer SOMETHING of value to your staff. Aaaagh. The frustration rained down upon me from the "superiors" is enough to cause the world as we know it to self-destruct....

*nods* I know. I feel like I'm about to get fired every time I slip up. With that much pressure I feel like leaving half way through a shift. *shudder*
