FunTranscript
00:08What are you standing around for?
00:10It's trash on my floor.
00:11Clean it up.
00:12Of course, sir.
00:14Alright, and make sure you sanitize the area afterwards.
00:16I don't want any germs sitting around my lobby.
00:18Absolutely, sir.
00:19I'll take care of it right away.
00:24Where are the morning occupancy reports?
00:26They should be on my desk by now.
00:27Yeah, I'm still compiling them from the night audit, Mr. David.
00:31I should have finished shortly.
00:34Shortly.
00:34What does that mean exactly?
00:36Five minutes?
00:37Ten?
00:37Any specifics?
00:39Well, maybe fifteen minutes or twenty at most.
00:42I just need to double check a few more entries.
00:45They were due thirty minutes ago.
00:47Okay, I have a corporate call in one hour and I need those numbers.
00:50What exactly have you been doing all morning?
00:52So sorry.
00:54I'm doing my best to get them finished as quickly as possible.
00:57There were some discrepancies in the night audit that I had to verify.
01:00You know, I'm starting to regret hiring you.
01:02Besides being an incompetent woman, you're too young and inexperienced.
01:07It's a terrible combination for front desk operations.
01:10This is a basic hospitality management position.
01:13If you can't handle simple report generation, maybe you're in the wrong industry.
01:17I understand, sir.
01:18I'll work faster.
01:19I promise I'll have everything ready soon.
01:21Soon isn't good enough.
01:23If you don't finish those reports immediately, I'll have to make some harsh decisions about your employment at this hotel.
01:27You understand?
01:28Please don't fire me, Mr. David.
01:29I really need this job to gain experience in hospitality.
01:34My family is struggling financially right now and I can't afford to lose the position.
01:39That's not my problem.
01:40You think I care about your personal drama?
01:43I'll work overtime.
01:44I'll stay every night to learn the systems better.
01:47Just please give me another chance.
01:50Then you should have thought about your family before doing subpar work.
01:53Of course I understand, sir.
01:54Right.
01:55You need thicker skin if you want to survive in this hotel industry.
01:58This business isn't for the weak.
02:00You're right.
02:03I'll finish the reports right away.
02:07Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?
02:09No, sir.
02:10I was just doing my job.
02:11I couldn't help overhearing since we're all in the same lobby space.
02:16Just doing your job?
02:17Your job is to clean, not to listen on my confidential discussions.
02:21Of course, sir.
02:22I apologize if I overstepped my boundaries.
02:26I don't buy that.
02:27Who do you think you are?
02:28You think you have the right to listen to my conversations?
02:30I wasn't intentionally listening, Mr. David.
02:33You were speaking quite loudly and the lobby has an open design with excellent acoustics.
02:39Excellent acoustics?
02:41Is that right?
02:42Who do you think you are speaking to management like that?
02:45I'm just a housekeeper, sir.
02:47I didn't mean any disrespect.
02:49You're damn right you didn't.
02:50Get back to work immediately and stay out of my business.
02:52Of course.
02:53I'll continue with my duties.
02:55And I want to see these floors spotless, okay?
02:58Not just clean, spotless.
03:00I have important guests coming through here later.
03:02I understand, sir.
03:03The floors will be perfect.
03:10Clean this up.
03:12Reorganize everything perfectly and make sure it looks better than it did before.
03:15Of course, sir.
03:16Should I replace the flowers as well?
03:19Figure it out.
03:20That's what we pay you for.
03:21Of course, sir.
03:23Whatever you need.
03:24Yeah.
03:25It's more like it.
03:2645 minutes on those reports.
03:28Not a minute longer.
03:39Let me see if there's reports now.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Here they are, Mr. David.
03:43I did my best work and I hope they meet your standards.
03:45Hmm.
03:47Let's see about that.
03:50I have very high standards for accuracy.
03:53These reports are substandard.
03:54Multiple errors throughout.
03:56Look at this formatting mess.
03:57And your data compilation methods are questionable at best.
04:00Uh, could you show me specifically what's wrong?
04:04I thought I followed the template exactly.
04:06I don't have time to give you a tutorial.
04:08You should have known this.
04:09Any competent clerk would see these problems immediately.
04:12Of course, I'm so sorry.
04:14I thought I double checked everything.
04:17Well, you didn't.
04:17Stop apologizing in face of facts.
04:19Okay?
04:19You're clearly incompetent and might not be suited for this hospitality industry.
04:24Maybe you should consider something easier like retail or food service.
04:28Sorry, Mr. David, I want to improve.
04:31I'm still learning and perhaps you assigned me too many complex tasks for my current experience level.
04:39Now you're saying it's my fault?
04:40This is basic front desk work.
04:42If you can't handle simple report generation, what use are you?
04:47There you go, crying again.
04:48You're too soft for the demanding hotel business, okay?
04:51I'm seriously considered letting you go.
04:53Please don't fire me.
04:55Like I said before, my family really needs this income.
04:59We're going through a tough time financially.
05:01You should have considered that before doing some par work.
05:03I told you.
05:03Your personal situation doesn't excuse poor performance.
05:07Excuse me?
05:08Could you give Lindsay some space?
05:11She's clearly distressed and needs a moment to collect herself.
05:15Oh, is that right?
05:16And what are you doing here again?
05:17Didn't I tell you to do your job?
05:19To clean the floors?
05:20Change the sheets?
05:21Not insert yourself into my management decisions?
05:23When I witness workplace injustice, I feel compelled to speak up.
05:27It's about basic human decency.
05:30You're just a housekeeper.
05:31Mind your own business.
05:33There's a hierarchy here for a reason.
05:35You should be invisible.
05:36Just doing your cleaning tasks without opinions or interference.
05:39But look at what you've done to her.
05:41You didn't need to treat her that way.
05:43She's still learning.
05:45But everyone deserves basic respect regardless of their position in the company.
05:49Let me tell you something about respect.
05:52I worked hard to become a hotel manager.
05:54Okay?
05:54I climbed from night clerk to my current position through dedication and sacrifice.
05:59Workplace hierarchy exists for a reason.
06:02Respect must be earned through hard work and promotion.
06:05Not given freely to every employee who shows up.
06:07I can appreciate your journey, Mr. David.
06:10I put 12 hour days in.
06:12Worked weekends.
06:13Missed family events.
06:13That's how you earned your position in my industry.
06:15I understand you worked hard.
06:17But respect should be mutual.
06:19If you want to be respected as a manager, you should also respect your staff.
06:24Whether they're housekeepers, clerks, or maintenance workers.
06:27If you keep thinking that way, you'll never advance.
06:30You'll always be pushing cleaning carts and polishing rooms.
06:32Is that what you want?
06:33You'd be surprised.
06:35What's that supposed to mean?
06:37Nothing.
06:39Just an observation.
06:41I don't like riddles from the cleaning staff.
06:43I don't have time for this.
06:45I have a conference call with corporate in 20 minutes.
06:48I can't believe I have to deal with these people.
06:56I'm so sorry that happened.
06:58It's okay.
06:59Thank you for intervening earlier.
07:01What he said about mutual respect was really wise.
07:05I wish more people in hospitality shared those values.
07:08You handled yourself very professionally under difficult circumstances.
07:13I was trying not to lose my temper.
07:16It's hard when someone speaks to you that way.
07:18You seem very bright and dedicated.
07:21You have real potential for growth in the hotel industry.
07:25But I'm starting to doubt my abilities.
07:27Maybe I should look for work in a different field like Mr. David suggested.
07:32Don't let one person's poor management style define your career path.
07:37I mean, what if he's right?
07:39What if I'm not cut out for this?
07:41Don't listen to David.
07:42He's a poor manager who's failing at his job.
07:45He shouldn't have overwhelmed an entry-level employee with complex responsibilities without proper training and support.
07:53Good hotels invest in developing their staff.
07:57You're right about that.
07:59Thank you again for your encouragement and perspective.
08:02It means a lot coming from someone with experience.
08:05I've seen a lot in this industry.
08:08Good managers and bad ones.
08:10Really?
08:11How long have you been working in hotels?
08:13Longer than you might think.
08:17What are you two best friends now?
08:20How touching.
08:21We were just having a brief conversation.
08:23Oh, a conversation.
08:25How delightful.
08:26I'm sure corporate would love to know their employees are socializing on company time.
08:31Get back to work.
08:32Both of you are wasting valuable time with your little conversations.
08:37We were just taking a break.
08:38Rest periods are important for maintaining service quality and employee well-being.
08:43There are no breaks in the hotel business.
08:44How many times do I have to tell you?
08:46Staff needs to give 100% at all times, whether they're bellhops, clerks, or management.
08:52Guest satisfaction depends on constant vigilance.
08:56This hotel doesn't operate that way.
08:57The company prioritizes employee welfare because happy staff provide better guest experiences.
09:03And what would you know about how this company operates?
09:06You're just a housekeeper.
09:08Actually, David, I'm the CEO of this hotel chain.
09:14I've been working undercover to evaluate hotel operations and management practices,
09:20and I am deeply disappointed by what I've witnessed.
09:24Okay, this is ridiculous, okay?
09:26You're just trying to get me in trouble.
09:28My name is Gretchen Morrison, Chief Executive Officer of Morrison Hospitality Group.
09:35Employee ID number 001.
09:37You can verify my identity through corporate if you'd like.
09:40Oh my God, you're telling the truth.
09:42I remember seeing you in the company newsletter.
09:45Let me tell you about this humility, David.
09:49This company was built on respect, compassion, and the belief that every employee contributes to our success.
09:56We only employ people who embody these principles.
09:59And it's clear that you don't fit into our culture.
10:02Okay, this company's policies are unrealistic and soft.
10:06Okay, you can't run a profitable business by coddling employees and making expectations for every sob story.
10:12You're fired, David.
10:15Your treatment of staff and failure to uphold company standards is unacceptable.
10:20Security will escort you out within the hour.
10:22This company's gonna fail without me.
10:24The proper leadership that it needs.
10:27Not leadership like yours.
10:34Lindsay, I'd like to offer you a promotion to Assistant Front Desk Manager with a 30% salary increase.
10:42I'll also arrange financial assistance for your family through our employee support program.
10:47I can't believe this.
10:51Thank you so much for your kindness and for believing in me.
10:55You have exactly the qualities we value in our managers.
10:59With proper training and support, you'll excel in this role.
