So, I've made the decision to have a roomie again. Not because of money concerns but more because a co-worker is in a bit of a situation that makes it hard for her to quit her job if she finds something else. It has to do with the fact that she rents one of our work's longterm stay apartments and knows that if she goes onto a different employer that she will either be evicted or have her rent go up sky high.
She pays $1000/mo right now for a tiny basement studio apartment. Sure everything is included but it's not a great situation to be in. Especially considering that another coworker had a 1bdrm apartment for $800! Not to mention that she's not being paid properly for her job title, on top of everything else.
Basically, we've both made a decision that if we can find better employment we're gone from the hotel. She's tired of only getting paid $14/hr when she's supposed to be getting paid more as she is the housekeeping supervisor, and I'm just plain tired of dealing with the bullshit in general even though I'm the assistant general manager. And with her not having to worry about where she's going to live if/when she gets a job elsewhere it makes it easier on her - less stress in general. Plus she's one of the few people I work with that I actually can see myself being friends with outside of work. And it wouldn't be the first time I've made space for a coworker when they're in an untenable position.
The whole thing with her not being paid correctly has me pissed off for her. The reason she's not getting paid properly? The big boss says that she needs to be trained...but who the fuck is supposed to train her? There's just a whole bunch of bullshit going on and it has me drove.
My fingers are crossed that we'll manage to get the hell out of here and into f/t time positions at a nearby hotel. It doesn't even have to be the same one - we just need out of where we are now before our heads are done in!
