I have worked at the Strat for many years and can honestly tell you there isn't one decision the new ownership and management has made with respect to layoffs that I can disagree with. Morale is low because well-liked managers were let go? Pleeeeeease! These people were not good managers!No one was being held accountable for anything before! Now employees are expected to be friendly to guests, smile and speak English? Oh, and know how to perform their jobs? Um hello? Is that really asking too much? The new management is definitely more friendly and competent. I haven't heard yelling around here since the "old management" was cleaned out. Goldman Sachs and Highgate came in, evaluated each department carefully and made business/employment decisions that were LONG overdue! Anyone that is "frightened" of losing their job should be. Obviously they're not doing their job well or are not qualified. Be grateful you have a job in this economy and quit your whining. Put a smile on your face and be friendly to our guests. Isn't that what's all about? Showing tourists a good time when they are on vacation? Keep up the great work Frank & team!
