I reduced my work hours (and salary) to 80% and had been taking Fridays off to help more with kids, online learning etc. during the pandemic. It’s been about a year and my wife and I agreed that this schedule works much better for our family, but money was getting a little tight. I had noticed though that I’d been putting in extra hours here and there when needed to stay on top of things and even though I was off Friday I was working closer to 85% my typical schedule.

There are so many problems with the management and it makes me frustrated. I want to work in an orginized and somewhat decent teamwork enviornment and none of that exists in this hotel. And sometimes I'm the one who gets blamed for shit by my co-workers. (I'm fine about customers complaining because they don't know but co-workers?) Like for example if the AC doesn't work in the room, or if the room is dirty but I'm told otherwise in both cases.
