Negative Experiences with Hotel Management
The reviewer, Jeff Glenz, had a poor experience with the General Manager (GM) and Assistant General Manager (AGM) at a hotel where he was staying. He alleges that the management team prioritized their own interests over the needs of employees, lying to staff to get them to work extra hard.
Lack of Integrity and Hypocrisy
According to Jeff, the GM and AGM told staff they couldn't take time off during the season, but then proceeded to take two weeks off themselves over Christmas and New Year's, leaving the hotel fully booked and understaffed. When Jeff questioned this, the management team became upset.
Disappointment and Frustration
Jeff expresses his disappointment and frustration with the experience, stating that in his 10 years of working in hospitality, he has never seen both the GM and AGM take time off simultaneously.
