Yes, an alliterative and obnoxious mouthful of a title for an obnoxious woman whose name happens to complete the alliteration.
I've already posted about my work as a housekeeper, but this thread is less about that and more about co-workers you absolutely cannot deal with.
Today at work, a co-worker, Caroline (No Last Name out of MY super nice-ness), went nuts. Now, she's often regarded as a crazy psycho-woman, but we basically just ignore her. Today, she was convinced our supervisor, and my best friend of 12 years, was stealing her tips. Going into her rooms before her and stealing her tips. Saying that (and I quote, misspelling words for the sake of diction): "SHE HAD NO BIN-ISS GOIN' IN MAH ROOOOM, TAKIN' MAH TIPS... STEALIN' MAH STUFF!!!! She ough-uh get FAHRD! YOU HEAR? FAHRD!!!!!" (Fahrd = fired...)
Woman is crazy. Ashley, the supervisor, is a SUPERvisor. She's trustworthy and has often brought tips back to us if she goes in the room first. We work on an honor system with this, but the housekeepers have gotten to know who's trustworthy. Everyone is... except for Caroline. I've witnessed Caroline taking tips that belong to other people. None of us trust HER. But she's **** positive that "people be stealin' her tips up in hurr."
Now, we don't get a lot of tips in the summer as it is. It's always been that way. In the winter there are always more tips. I think it has something to do with the holidays. But... we get a paycheck every other week. Now... we're underpaid, yeah, but it's still money we're guaranteed. We don't live on tips like waitresses do. So tips are just NICE. They're exciting, and they brighten our day... but we don't NEED those tips.
Caroline went nuts today. Cussing everyone out, talking about Ashley at lunch right in front of her. Talking about how she shouldn't be a supervisor and CAROLINE should be telling HER what to do. How Ashley doesn't know what she's doing and Caroline's a better housekeeper than everyone else there.
Except for she isn't. I'm our top housekeeper. It's not a ****y title I give myself, it's a fact. I have the highest scores (yes... we get scored) and I clean the suites (because they're bigger and more important to our sales department). It's a title I'd actually give a crap about if it meant more money or some other sort of awesome privileges. It doesn't. It just means... I do more work than everyone else for the same pay and even LESS tips. Because those are more expensive rooms... guests don't want to give even MORE money after paying for those rooms. I don't blame them, though.
So... any other horror stories about co-workers like this? The ones that just complain about EVERYTHING? The ones that steal tips or lunches, etc.? The ones that are horribly paranoid for some reason? Think they're better than you and everyone else? I know I can't be the only one with this problem. :banghead:
