FOM or bust

you know it's just a title because at the end of the day it's about quality of life.

because i've never really had a whole lot of money to burn and my upbringing, money hasn't ever been all that important to me. sure it's nice to have, it's neat to get stuff that you want because you can afford it, but truthfully money is just a tool. that being said, i have been getting frequent instances where i could be happier being fom if only i were paid more. without being specific, and considering it's more or less the same amount of work, i still made more money at the cancermount. the hours are slightly better too; only a scant 10 hours instead of 12+, with weekends off! huzzah! i also get a bonus at the beginning of every month which unfortunately is highly dependent on many ridiculous factors. it could very well be just the mulder in me, but i swear that bonus check is getting less and less every month despite the fact we end the month at 100% at about 3/4 of it. of course, overselling is a factor that could be avoided all together. i don't understand why the concept of selling a room day off is a heck of a lot easier than finding another room at a another hotel day off is a mind frak all on its own. seriously, it costs hotels more money to oversell. if we're all concerned about math maybe we should hire a different asian to do our books. nevermind how bloody aggravating it is for the front desk to deal with it. it's not just a number! there's people involved. people who've travelled x hours and are most likely quite tired. all for that precious bonus. and i hardly believe you've "forgotten" to replace pinoche because i'm sure one less person on the payroll is offsetting all those stupid as shit walks. furthermore, if you want 100% then check in the no shows. every other hotel does it and it's not the indecent kind of padding one's numbers because we're still getting the money. and guess what? one less room for housekeeping to clean which means maybe they'll return the dirty ones faster! everybody wins! if the concern is an accurate management system generated no show percentage, do it the good old fashioned way... write it down and calculate it yourself. we have calculators and pens and paper for it. wow wow wee!

i swear, call me lando. this deal is getting worse and worse every time.

frak it. i'm going to start my own hotel. call it cloud city. and i'll bloody tell you how it's really run. if hotels weren't so necessary, people would stop using them if they knew the human filthiness behind it all.
