So I went to my interview yesterday, did the dog 'n pony show... Sometimes it's good just to whip out your interview skills & dust 'em off.
Yesterday was the first time I've ever been offered a supervisory position. Lead non-gaming audit clerk. Granted, it's an intermediary supervisory position, and I'd be one of four leads, but still - they offered it to me.
It was also the first time I've ever had to turn down a job.
What's the difference between a union hotel job and a non-union hotel job?
About $6 an hour. The non-gaming audit clerks start at $9.50 an hour. Leads start at $10.50. I could have probably taken a $2/hr paycut, but $5? Drop my salary by one third? Maybe if Rob was working.
At least now I know why the non-gaming audit clerks at the Excalibur are so bitter and nasty - they're making the same money as the Mandalay Bay people are. And from what I understand, MGM/Mirage people make even less, so the MGM, rather than bring their people up to the level of Mandalay Bay Resort people, is bringing Mandalay Bay employees 'in line' with the MGM pay rates. That is such bullshit.
