Hello everyone, I’m Saint. I’ve been a lurker of this sub for a while and never really considered posting anything because my job is not too bad and I have almost nothing I can complain about it — At least until now.
I work for a staffing company that provides personnel to a Resort for a plethora of roles, my work consists of finding the best people I can and get them to work. Sounds easy, right? Well, I can’t say it’s exactly difficult, but dealing with people isn’t always a walk through the garden. My bosses make more money the more employees I get for the hotel’s operation, so I’m basically my bosses’ face at the hotel.
Anyways, Last year a huge group of my staffing decided to leave all of a sudden. I didn’t really mind losing them because this specific group of about 10 people weren’t the best at their work, usually called off and most of the times they came To work on a hangover. But they have no notice, no nothing. Just one day they didn’t show up again. When I called my bosses to explain what was happening they said “well it’s up to them, let them know that if they leave like this, they’re never coming back.” And so I did. They said they didn’t care, they had better options now.
So fast forward like 6 months to the present, I managed to form a solid team, and everyone’s getting ready for summer when work gets to it’s best season. Morale is up. These deserters that left abruptly last year now want to come back to which I replied “No, you all messed up thing big time last year and I warned you all this was going to happen”. I was confident my posses would back me up, I have a lot of people trying to get a job here waiting in line for a vacant, there’s no way they’re coming back. Right?
Well, wrong. These guys called my boss directly and told him they were back and they brought more people with them, so he could make more money. My boss called me and said “Do whatever you can to convince the hotel to accept them back” to which I replied “Look, they made me look like an idiot last year, the hotel manager yelled at me for all the trouble they caused last year and I just don’t feel comfortable having them back, also I have plenty of good people waiting for a chance to work, I’d rather give it to them”
He agreed with me that one time, but a couple days later he called me again to say “Look I know you don’t like them but I want them working ASAP.”
At this point i just wanna give up on this and let him handle things the way he wants. It’s a pretty good job and the pay is great, but this kind of bs is just too much for me.
