(Small Rant)
Small background ocean motion employee here rocking the three pm to 11pm shift. Today we had a meeting at 2:30pm. (Yay 30 mins of overtime!) Remember folks Manglement cannot require you to do a work related activity and NOT pay you.( At least in the US) (Clock in!) The course of this meeting was a refresher aka retraining. It proceeded boring as usual till 3:30. At the end of the meeting one of the higher ups mentioned the Busy list. Now while I have been an employee going on 2yrs. The company is big. They own multiple types of buildings across the local area as one does. But my building seemingly practiced these procedures and such more often and is always busy. However that busy list was made by the devil.
We have a lobby that is maintained by the Fix it crew. Now yes we will do our part as well. However this Glitterfox ain't Cinderella. I see no reason to get on my hands and knees and scrub and mop a tile floor on the hour every hour. Or run a suction device (vaccume) over it on the hour every hour then disinfect it on the hour every hour. Changing the trash if it is full that's fine. But this is a tile floor. Not carpet. And while I understand not letting guests see you use your phone… You cannot tell grown adults that they can't use their phones. This is NOT high school. There are times when we won't be busy. Just plain and simple. There is no reason to punish is for that. It's stupid. What are some stupid things Manglement has suggested for you guys?
