Mar. 7th, 2020 08:24 pmI feel like I'm losing my mind.
Our Director and Head Cook left last November. Our Banquet Manager followed at the end of January. Which leaves me in charge of EVERYTHING BANQUET RELATED.
I used to just plan the schedule for the servers, make sure the sets were done and everything went as smoothly as possible on the day of the event.
Then I started taking over the linen orders.
Then the payments.
Now I'm returning calls and emails.
Scheduling and giving tours.
Writing up quotes.
And everything else I already did.
I'm not even supposed to be full-time! Still doing overtime though.
Everyone says I should ask for a raise and I know logically I should. I also know realistically I won't get one. I know any raise has to be approved by the chancellor in Japan. And I know he doesn't understand what it's like here in the US -- I've heard he even thinks our minimum wage staff are overpaid. (I've never met him. If I make it until June I might. He's visiting for the 30th Anniversary party.)
Pretty sure our CFO isn't leaving voluntarily, he's being forced out for giving us all a raise at the start of the year when minimum wage increased. He's too Americanized. He's on our side and they can't let that stand.
I don't know. I'm super close to just making a run for the boarder. It's so close. Just like 2 hours and I'll be at the boarder. Another hour and I'll be in Nelson - The Portland of British Columbia. Another 3 and I could be in Calgary.
