[@Eitner100]

In my working life I gave managers many ideas about making more profits and very seldom got the recognition. Got paid a bonus a couple of times and in most occasions those managers pretended it was their own idea or just a team effort. When I stopped giving ideas I was asked why and I told them why. All of them sooner or later went away, while I invested my ideas in my own projects. That worked very well for me. Moral of the story: if a manager in total desperation asks for an idea, be sure you close a deal on paper before telling your plans and never give ideas away for free, especially not to managers.

[@MrCassiuschrome]

GM is a shambles. Any decent manager takes responsibility. The DM is no better. Need a complete managerial clear out and start again. Can’t blame Andy for moving on. Although him and his brother. Hello boys. 😂

[@steveborders]

As an owner of 2 businesses I would have got shot of that GM, as a business owner I be on his back he's the GM !!!! It is up to him to make sure the team is running well not just stand there saying or doing not very much and you shouldn't be in the home of the owner either IT'S BUSINESS!!! I do niot invite my staff or management to my home for a meeting ! That's done at work not my private residence ! son or no son manager or no manager !

He's got a huge coke habit. I used to work with his brother Domonic and he said Andy is always injecting coke every hour or so.

[@howey935]

@@Graham-1888 Of course people inject coke just because you’ve never heard of people doing it doesn’t mean people don’t. Go read Sherlock Holmes he was a coke addict who used to inject coke.

[@howey935]

@@Graham-1888 that’s because heroin lasts 8 hours on it own and coke last about 20 mins. I know what I’m talking about I was addicted to heroin and crack from 1990 until 1999 and I’ve seen people inject crack and heroin every hour. Yes Sherlock Holmes was fictional but it’s not fiction that cocaine addicts of the time would inject cocaine. A very prominent surgeon in the late 1900s operated on himself after numbing the area with cocaine then intravenously injecting cocaine to as he put it keep his hands steady.

[@howey935]

@@Graham-1888 do you think drug addicts even think about the danger? Because I can tell you they don’t give a fuck if it gets them high. You believe what you want but I know for a fact that people do inject coke because I’ve seen it so many times myself.

[@syedadeelhussain2691]

I have done the AIDA FOR THIS BUSINESS! Its the GM who is apparently the biggest thorn in the flesh of this enterprise. He used to be a professor of business studies at some college, and hence, his approach to business problem structuring and solving is way out of line! too theoretical indeed. He is reading books and whatnot, but where academics suffer is a practical application of the knowledge. Most of these bookish worms who enter into the practical world FAIL and with them, the businesses also go down the drain.

These kinds of establishments are stuck in the 80s While all the big chains and foreign hotels have pushed for better service constantly attracting punters from around the world the British seaside has relied on older customers who want the same thing all the time but aren't a reliable or long lasting customers (they'll die or start choosing cruise liners) I worry for our seaside's when this is the kind of place calling itself quality

[@Jacks_here]

The owner thinks she needs to be hard as nails to run a business but you don’t necessarily get results with staff in a hotel like this. You need to gain respect. The general manager is useless. He should be around and lead by example. The son looks frightened of his own mom. And the dog... no words!

Stayed in this last year...was not impressed. Lift wasn't working and we were on floor 6 with 7 flights of stairs to climb, food was distinctly average and the dining room smelt of boiled cabbage, the bar, though open had no staff serving and the staff that were all foreign and seemed overworked. The so called cabaret consisted of one bloke singing over backing tracks and the advertised bingo was cancelled. The lady on reception though was a little gem and ended up rushing backwards and forwards between the two bars and the dining room...poor thing totally overworked. Non of the staff in this video were working there and i'm wondering is the place under new management, the place is now looking shabby and needs a makeover. The room we were in was acceptable though and was worth the (low end) price we paid for it.

Alan giving Andy advice about "signals" was cringe. That's his job done for the day. Best get back to his office and read another book (while getting paid). Here's my closing signal: 🖕 If Alan was any good at his job, instead of handing Andy a book to get on with it, Alan should have demonstrated what he meant and had Andy shadow him at work to observe and learn how to deal with situations and learn processes.
