So, started the new job at the hotel back in January. I got the job as sales manager and my good friend got the general manager job. Pretty good job, pays not great but it was respectable. Overall it had potential. Good to work closely with somebody I like and respect and trust. We both worked hard. I mean really really hard. Unpaid overtime (no overtime pay when you're salary), double shifts, 60+ hour work weeks, working morning, evening and graveyard shifts all in the same week, working well outside my job description because it needed to be done. I made sacrifices for that dam place. We just had a big official inspection with the corporate boys last week. We totally nailed it, I mean REALLY REALLY nailed it. Something like 921 points out of 1000. The place went from so bad that Best Western was going to take away the franchise license to now we are well above average compared to other hotels in the chain. My friend and I went into a hotel that was failing, going under, a real shit hole. In four months, we turned it completely around. Revenues are double what they were the same time last year. Occupancy is way up. Customer complaints are down to zero, all that good hotel stuff. I even brought back business from clients who ditched the place due to how crappy it had gotten. Then it all goes too shit. Two days ago, the day I'm planning on asking the boss for a performance review and a raise, he announces that he sold the place. And that the new owners were taking over in about 1 hour. No notice, no heads up, no nothing, even though this deal had to be in the works for months. The new owner proceeds to bitch and yell at us because we weren't ready for the change over. How the fuck were we supposed to be ready when we didn't know about it? Then the fucker then lays some lies on us that there will be some big changes, but nobody is getting fired. He was talking about rearranging the offices, moving my office upstairs, what my plans are for the near future of the hotel, and a bunch of other shit. Then today, after pumping me for everything I know about the place, the bastard tells me that my position does not fit into the budget and that I am fired. No notice, no real reason why, nothing. Doesn't fit into the budget my ass! If he would've looked at my numbers he would've seen that I alone had been bringing in 25k-30k in revenue a month since I started. And my projections for the next few months were even better. That's about a third of the total revenue for the whole hotel. I made the place that much money and he fucking tells me that I don't fit into the budget. Fuck him. I want my job back. The bastard doesn't even have the decency to give me a severance package. He said that the old owner would have to pay that. Even though he is the one who fired me after he officially took control of the place. Of course, the old owner won't pay up either. He says it is up to the new guy. Fucking bitches. I'm gonna sick Labor and Industry and OSHA on them. No over time paying, labor law violating, running the whole place on pirated software mother fuckers. Yeah, if you can't tell, I'm a bit bitter.
