Chapter 16 The Song of Parting

The prosperity and beauty of the hotel show her beautiful side in more time, the crystal clear lake, all kinds of buildings are surrounded by trees and flowers, the beautiful and spectacular waterfall falls vertically from the main building of the hotel into the lake, elegant Music flutters in every corner of the hotel, and these beautiful scenery undoubtedly demonstrate the identity of the green ecological hotel.But behind the beauty lies the bitterness of our grassroots employees.If the hotel is regarded as a stage, then we are the bricks and planks under the stage, supporting the stage with our bodies.

There is no glory, no flowers, we are just an ordinary waiter, doing the most ordinary things, harvesting clean and tidy guest rooms, this is the work that goes round and round every day.I have always regarded it as a kind of life experience, so I try my best to do my work to the extreme, and all this is because I still have my own beliefs, that is, to do my job well and work hard to get the position of editor of the store magazine.If you don't have such a belief, you really don't know how long you can last.

After a busy day at work, sometimes I chat and play chess with my colleagues; sometimes I read a book; sometimes I walk alone on the tree-lined path of the hotel.Pass happiness to colleagues every day, but my heart is like a storm, thinking about the future, falling into meditation again and again.Since the division of the department, I have rarely been in a calm mood, and when I officially confirmed the position as a room attendant, I once fell into a downturn and my mood became very heavy.When I was first assigned to the butler center, I was still looking forward to one day being transferred to the human resources department as an editor, but when the full-time butler position in the department also left me, my heart was already empty.Just like a person walking in the dark, when he finds that the only ray of light ahead is gone, his life falls into a confused stage.

Thinking of the blueprint of the hotel career planning, I felt a little bit unwilling, so I started the first job transfer application, at least I should fight for it.I submitted the application with a nervous mood, but after waiting for a period of time, there was no more content, just like every time I submit an article to the media.I am used to being rejected, but I don't feel that the world is getting dark, but I feel very peaceful.The enthusiasm of my colleagues and the happy working atmosphere made me get out of the depression in my heart very quickly, and I am waiting for the next opportunity.

Not long after, I re-wrote the application, worried that the human resources department hadn't seen the previous job transfer application.The manager came to see me one afternoon while I was moving mattresses in the guest room with my colleagues.I thought I had news about my second job transfer application, and I came to the manager outside the corridor with a glimmer of hope.The manager notified me with a joyful expression that I was named as the first batch of A-level waiters in the hotel, which is the highest honor for a waiter.Looking at my calm face, the manager was very surprised, and asked what's the matter, are you still thinking about editing the store magazine?I didn't say anything, but thanked the manager for supporting me, and I will definitely do my job with all my heart and responsibilities in my post.It happened that the manager had other things to do at that time, and I wanted to tidy up the room as soon as possible, so I stopped talking and went to deal with my own affairs.Whenever the mood is complicated, I am used to saying few words.It stands to reason that it should be exciting to be honored.But how many people can understand my mood.Just like a story I saw, it was about a poor man who went to a running competition, just to win a pair of new shoes for his younger brother, and the No.2 prize was the new shoes, and No.1 was a very good toy.The poor man won No.1 in the end, and he shed tears when the award was presented.The reporter asked him if he was excited, but he said I was sad because I didn't get the prize for the shoes, but my brother really needs a new pair of shoes.For me, this story speaks out all my heart.

I consider myself a self-educating person, because I sometimes talk to myself, or criticize myself, or praise myself, or encourage myself.It is precisely because of this character that I can adjust my state as soon as possible when I encounter setbacks.I still get along happily with my colleagues every day and do my best work.The belief that made me adjust as soon as possible is that I set a deadline, that is, I will do it for another month, and then I will directly apply to the manager of the human resources department.In order to "stop" the manager of the human resources department, I began to pay attention to his work and rest schedule.I met him on the road one day, and I put forward my thoughts directly.The manager is no stranger to me, and he mentioned some of his opinions, such as the current position is full, and when the rest of the publications come out in the future, it can be given priority.The words were very euphemistic, but I still knew what he meant.After another failed attempt, my mood dropped to a freezing point.So he decided to resign, and asked the department manager to apply for resignation.At that time, the butler center was the most in need of manpower, so it was naturally not approved by the manager.But one night when I was working, the manager came to talk to me and told me a lot of life principles, but I didn’t have a word to respond to. I wanted to express it, but the manager’s words blocked me back. I understood and agreed to stay.

Due to the increasing occupancy rate of the hotel, it is difficult for the previous manpower to complete the room cleaning mainly for team occupancy.Sometimes there are hundreds of rooms at a time, and new guests check in before the sanitation is completed.These guests just sat on the sofa in the guest room and watched us make the room, and sometimes asked us to finish the basic sanitation and cleaning. Naturally, the guests wanted us to finish the cleaning and leave the room early.Sometimes I was rushing to do the cleaning in the room, and the housing center heard the sound of ward rounds through the walkie-talkie, and I had to rush to do the ward rounds again.Work is like a quick march, especially when a group of guests checks in, the hygiene of each room is already sweating.Busy work is also good, let life be fulfilled, so that you don't have too much free time.Because I like to think about the future, the present, ideals and so on when I have free time.But every time I think of these things, I feel a little bit worried.I can only blame myself for being too thoughtful and unwilling to be content with the status quo, always hoping to change the status quo.

In order to solve the problem of shortage of manpower, the hotel is constantly recruiting, and the butler center has also recruited a group of new employees one after another.From a novice in the past to now, I have also started to be a master and brought in new employees.In order to make new employees familiar with the work process as soon as possible, each old employee is responsible for leading one or two new employees, and let the new employees get familiar with the work process as soon as possible in the form of mentoring.The days go by day by day, without worrying about food or clothing, and have little contact with the outside world. In such a beautiful "kingdom", many people are gradually getting used to everything here.

When a person is familiar with the existing work, there is no novelty at the beginning, and the work of the day is repeated every day.It also makes some people feel boring to develop. Two colleagues in the dormitory have already proposed to resign and are in the process of going through the formalities. On the morning of March 2004, 3, lying in the warm bed, it was almost time to go to work, I suddenly howled, lifted the quilt, jumped out of the bed, and called the housing center with the phone in the dormitory to tell them that I The decision to resign will go through the procedure at the party.In fact, the resignation application report has already been typed up, but it has not been approved.The colleagues in the dormitory were amazed by my decision, which is unprecedented.After the phone call, the depression of many days was swept away, and I felt a lot more relaxed.I know why I am depressed. It is because I don't know how to make a decision during the period of hesitation in choosing, which makes people worry.When you have made a clear decision, you don't have to worry about gains and losses anymore. Instead, you don't have any entanglements in your heart, and you naturally feel relaxed.

In the face of colleagues and leaders repeatedly asking me to stay, I have already made up my mind.When a person really wants to go, no one can stop him.The formalities went smoothly, and when it was the manager's turn, he asked me what plans I had in the future, and I said I planned to be a freelance writer.The manager looked at me, a young man with no experience in the world, resigning for such a dream, with worry on his face, and asked me if I had really made up my mind.I answered very simply, and then he signed it very simply.After going through all the procedures, I felt a sense of relief that I had never felt before, and I finally liberated my heart.

The night before I left, I and the other three resigned colleagues invited colleagues from all departments to book a large box at the KTV outside the hotel. Except for the colleagues on duty, basically all the colleagues came.Colleagues came to toast one by one, and we also paid back. The whole box was full of sadness, because once we parted, we might never see each other again in this life.When we sang the song "Friends" in chorus, seeing these colleagues who were training together under the scorching sun, being punished together, practicing pallets, smiling together, opening up wasteland together, and working overtime together until all night, my eyes were involuntarily moist. These days of sharing weal and woe, we A deep friendship has already been formed.It was also from that moment that I really understood why so many people shed tears during the farewell scene.Only through thick and thin can we resonate in our hearts.

When I left the hotel, looking at everything I was familiar with here, I felt a little bit sad. I met such a group of excellent colleagues here, and I am very grateful for the growth opportunities I got in the hotel platform.A man's ambition is everywhere, and once he has made a decision, he will not miss it, and look forward to everything.Although I came here for the editorial position of the store magazine, I also left because my wish failed, but in the days of the hotel, I had struggled, worked hard, and fought for it, and I have no regrets about this period of youth.
