When I saw the schedule for work and realized that I was only supposed to work 7 hours on the stat (Aug 1st) I made sure to ask my boss if I could either work 9-5 or 10-6 instead of 10-5? Initially he said that we would have to see how things go and then when the time came he would let me know. Well this weekend, everyday we had a full house at the motel. And each only 10/15 out of the 35 were stays, the rest were check-outs meaning that all of those rooms had to be remade and ready to go for the next day. Friday wasn't so bad, Saturday was o.k. Sunday was good and then when it came to Monday....
He had me come in at 9! When I got to work I definitely wasn't prepared for the amount of work that I alone was going to have to perform. I started of doing the laundry and soon was overcome with heaps and heaps of sheets, blankets and towels. After I got the laundry started I was asked to go and help the housekeepers. For them I made their beds and vacuumed out all of their rooms. Still keeping an eye on the laundry and front desk when possible. As the day progressed our manager bought us some iced coffee's from Starbucks and for lunch he bought us pizza! That was a definite surprise. It worked out that our head housekeeper who had rooms 102-115 and 201-203 left at 3 and our other housekeeper that had 204-218 left at 4. Well I was helping the second housekeeper we finished all of the rooms and after which I went along and vacuumed. As for the lead housekeeper, when I was asked to go and see if one of her rooms were ready to be rented, I was surprised to find that 3 of her rooms 108, 106, and 105 weren't even started. They had been stripped but didn't have any sheets done or towels. I didn't have the time and those rooms had to be carded for no rental. Then as I was looking around the upstairs at her 201-203 none of those rooms were made either. Since they were just a single double bed I quickly did them up and after doing a load of towels added them to the rooms as well. After which I went back to the laundry room and worked in there trying to make a dent in the pile but since I only had from 4-5 all I did was fold a full load of towels and sheets.
I didn't mind doing the work today because it was a stat and I was making $15, but when your boss says to you that he wants you to be in 3 places at once, the front desk, the laundry room and helping the housekeepers,
Doesn't that seem wrong? I'm in the process of asking for a raise and feel that I definitely deserve it but I have to figure out when the perfect time is to ask him for it.
And the worst part is that I know when I get to work tomorrow, the laundry is going to be sitting there for me to do.
