That's great news then!! I'm glad this looks like it will be handled in a good way for everyone (sans S, not sure I care what happens to him!)

I guess it's all over for DH and his staff. GM laid down the law, but no punishment. Everyone just wants to move on.

Not sure what S's status it is.

thanks for being my sounding board.

Wait, I'm confused. It's all over as in move on to another job or it's all over let bygones be bygones??

Sorry, let bygones by bygones.

No punishment, no pay cuts, still get bonus. He actually did give them a slap on the wrist. (maybe he isn't as bad as I thought?) At least for DH and his staff it's getting back to business as normal.

The FOH side of the department, well that might be a different story. I still do not know S's status. I haven't seen DH to ask. He only text me about him and his staff.

Well at least DH and his staff are ok, with no big financial repercussion! I know you sometimes work at the club, does the FOH potential changes effect you?

Hopefully for the better.

Large events were big ole cluster-fucks. So much so I refused to bar tend events anymore. It was so damn frustrating. I'm hoping someone new will bring in the experience that is needed.

Staffing is limited in the valley and the season is so short. Me working is a win-win for everyone. They get experienced staff, but do not have to worry about employing me long term or once the season is over, never returning because I got a year-round position.

I work when I want and get the extra money. I don't see that arrangement changing. In a way they need me more than I need them. My club paycheck is for wants not needs.

Glad to see the storm is passing.

Good, glad YH is all set! I bet S won't be there long anyways and then it'll all blow over and YH will still have his dream job with one less bozo to deal with!

We have been in contact with one of the board members who we are close. The board is well aware of the issue between the GM and S. They basically say S is his worse enemy. His options are take the demotion or quit. S's wife also works at the club. She sent DH a text she sent to the GM. OMG, I would be surprised if she has a job left.

The board member said that with so many department heads being let go and/or quitting they felt that DH being let go would do more harm to the club and staff moral. So DH and his staff were "saved".

However, they all have a dept meeting at noon. I'm excepting some sort of punishment. Not sure what, but I wouldn't be surprised if pay cuts, few day suspension, lose of bonus or something. The GM is sneaky and I'm sure part of compromise was punishment at his discretion, which might make them want to leave. Because, well he is like that. Not going to fire you, but make it so you will want to leave type guy.

The board member's wife texted me last night saying she was thinking of us and let them know how the meeting went. I could be reading into this too much, but to me that means there is something they are not allowed to tell us coming down the pipe.

DH will take anything they offer. If it's bad enough he will then look for a new job. It's easier to look for a new job when you have one. This time of year he only works 4.5 days a week until end of March. Then he has 4-6 weeks off. He can continue to ski, go on interviews, etc.

I'm confused. . . why would DH get in trouble for anything if this is a war between the GM and S?

Jesus, these restaurant SS's would give our SS's a run for their money.

Because DH and his staff were having an end of the night shift drink while cleaning. Which was okay with the old GM and the new GM when he first got there said was okay. Even board members gave the staff a drink.

Apparently he changed his tune on shift drinks 6 months ago, but didn't let anyone know. Then he decided last week to slam the hammer down and get rid of S using staff drinking as the reason. Since DH and his staff were drinking drinks given to them by S, the FOH managers and bar tenders, the GM decided he had to fire the entire department.

Luckily the board was like "hell no". You can't fire people for a policy change that you never told them had changed. They even said they had given the staff a cocktail every now and then. Basically it would be like entrapment.
