I work for a large international hotel company. It’s been a rough few years in this industry. Chronic understaffing, long hours, combined with guests who are worse behaved than ever. My coworkers and I have been slogging through. We’ve dealt with having our revenue team oversell us almost every night for weeks, getting screamed at about our property’s exorbitant pet fees, and a myriad of other issues. Well, it’s associate appreciation week and how do they show their thanks? Goodie bags with a can of coke, a candy bar, and a thing of microwave popcorn. Plus a lunch at the beginning of the week that not everyone can attend. Feels worse than not getting anything at all.
