I started training at a new job today, another hotel front desk clerk. Not ideal, but it's something I know how to do and it's not gonna be nearly as stressful as my one-day stint as a manual laborer at a public park in December.
My new boss has immediately earned my undying respect because he's extremely chill and doesn't take the job too seriously. I came in on Tuesday to fill out some paperwork and set up my account on the employee portal, but it was in the middle of a thunderstorm and the wi-fi was down and there was a server malfunction so they couldn't do anything about it but send me home and have me come back later; it went perfectly fine the next day, and my boss changed the punch clock to give me an extra hour for my troubles the previous day. Today was my real first day on the schedule, but I didn't start at the front desk yet because I had to watch a shit ton of training videos. Four hours into the most mind numbing corporate bullshit I've ever seen, my boss tells me that he's heading home and I don't have to finish all the videos, I can clock out as soon as I'm done with the particularly lengthy one I was in the middle of. I asked him if he wanted me to do the rest at home, and he said "well, no, because you'd be working without getting paid. First of all, that's illegal. Second of all, fuck that! You're not on the clock, so why should you do anything? It'd be different if it was a salaried position, but the only salaried person here is me, so yeah, you don't have to give a shit when you're not here." FUCKING KUDOS TO HIM! GREATEST BOSS EVER! Give him a raise!
