Update to “I wanna walk out in the middle of my shift”: I walked out mid shift…
My original post is on my profile. So yeah. The last straw so to speak was management choosing to lock our BACK office. The only office space we have to eat away from the front desk and guests so we can watch the cameras. Keep in mind, no chairs at the front desk or even mats for our feet.
They didn’t tell me this. But instead I had to find out by a guest asking for change and not being able to go in to get it. Had to call down our temporary live in GM who did it and then locked it again. I texted our FOM and asked if it will be locked permanently and she said “For now yea.”
Well thanks for letting me know. This just made me feel extra unsafe. No place to retreat if a guest gets crazy! Besides exiting the front desk area and into the lobby. It’s insane to me that they choose to lock it during the 3-11 when I’m the only one there!
Well, after finding this out and being upset. A check in arrived. She was on the DNR. But my manager instead of dealing with it during her shift and calling this person to cancel, just wrote a note that said “you can choose to check her in or not.” Oh thanks! So I tell her she’s on the dnr list and can’t check in because I know if I check her in and she trashed the room, it will be blamed on me.
And of course she FREAKS OUT. Walks out to he ride and starts yelling about me. 245
She asked them to come in as well. To talk to me. I grabbed my pepper spray and just stood as far out of her vision as I could. I felt so unsafe. Usually I’d go to the back office. But it’s locked!
So… I put our sign up. Took off my shirt uniform (I had a long sleeve under it), clocked out and left. My live in gm was there in the hotel. Probably his room. So I texted him and my fom. And told them I don’t feel it’s a good fit anymore and I didn’t feel good. I also said it’s unsafe to keep that door locked.
The gm wants me to call him for some reason. I figure he can text me if he has questions and if he wants to call it’s to ask me to come back. I knew this was gonna happen and I should’ve listened to my gut and quit after my shift was over that last day. Horrible way to quit I know but I should’ve listened to my gut. :/ 814
