Do hotels that laid off their loyal staff really expect them to sit and wait until called back to work years later? People move on so to attract staff hotels need to pay more and provide the training, as needed. Haven’t hotel managers been doing this?

Hotel managers and supermarket managers in Thailand think its their job to sit in an office and dress nice.

 

They feel it is beneath their status to involve themselves in the mundane aspects of their job!

Like the restaaurants here in Pattaya. They have trouble getting staff because they pay <deleted> wages.

Or they are just plain lazy.

Just like they are plain stupid.

Not sure what was wrong with the old staff.

They always got a drink from my fridge or "found" 100 baht lying around.

That bloke in a tie looks a tad dodgy.????????

Unlike car dealership and bank managers whose offices always appear to be empty.

A friend of mine, now an elderly Thai lady that had three restaurants in Northern England said that to me a long time ago.

 

She hailed from Korat and said ' The problem with most Thais in the labour force, is that they have no work ethic '  Those were her exact words.

I must be psychic!  Most Thais would not last a week in a European job; exhaustion would set in.  My company hired a security guard for night duty who turned up for 'work' first time with his own duvet & pillow.  When it was pointed out he would not be paid to sleep, he quit immediately!

I had a landlord pal who brought over his Thai lady and she worked very well in the bar... off she went with one of the wealthier customers.... never stopped working!
