I honestly don't have a whole lot to say other than the title. Long story short I am at a hotel front desk where because of shenanigans they seriously want me to work for 3+ weeks straight. The person who worked on my days off is off the schedule.
We are so understaffed because our pay is really bad and the upper management keeps saying how we can't afford to pay better to entry level positions. But the thing is if they increased the starting wage to where it would get actual good applicants it would STILL cost less than them paying me 1.5x my wage for all the stupid overtime they are having me do.
And frankly? If they can't pay to have enough staff to comfortably fill 21 desk shifts a week, with enough employees we can schedule for vacations or sick days without needing to shove massive amounts of overtime on the few remaining staff they don't have the budget to keep this place open, Or at least that's my opinion.
