Welp, some good news and some bad news. To start, the good news: this is the last Wednesday I'll be working for the summer, I have decided to step back from the scheduling issues and allow this shift to be given to someone else to quell all the lack-of-hours arguments we've been having as of late.
And the bad news: someone is either going to have to quit, or be fired. I know beyond all doubt that this person will not be me, but even with that assurance in mind I can't help but be stressed by this whole situation. I've already talked about it in great length today to multiple people, so I won't be rehashing it here (it's outta my hands, gonna let it roll off my shoulders). BUT - there are some things I need to write down before I forget.
Things I would like to do once I have a big-girl Manager job:
1. I will have 100%, complete, and sole control of scheduling.
2. In the event my employees are insolent assholes who refuse to work weekends, I will assign weekends using a sign-up system where employees MUST volunteer at least one weekend a month. And I must also implement a three-strike rule for those who refuse to comply.
3. Charitable contributions will be made on behalf of the property on a regular basis. We have a tremendous amount of resources at our disposal and I would not feel right about being in charge without sharing the good fortune with the community.
4. There will be bonuses for working weekends and holidays. No exceptions.
5. VIP program! Although we don't officially have one now, I have the informal structuring of one in my head that rewards our most loyal customers and I can most certainly say IT WORKS.
6. Six month employee evaluations. I am TOO GOOD of a worker to be lumped in with everyone else, but due to the fact that I'm in school and poor I can't really argue out of fear of losing my job. But I vow to do my best to avoid that with my future employees.
7. Dear self, it is very fucking important that you do your job as a manager. And don't leave it for someone else to do it with. Dear boss, sometimes I hate you.
