As you know last month they promoted me to Assistant Manager which came with a little pay bump. Apparently we made it threw the entire summer without one bad review on Groupon, Yelp and Google. That's not something that is easy to do. No matter how hard you try no matter what you **** someone off. The only 3 star was because our air conditioning sucks, still does. The majority of the 5 star reviews all mentioned how great the service was, how excellent the staff is and how clean the place was. Around a dozen I was told mentioned me specifically by name. I had no idea, I haven't looked at reviews in months. Recently someone who knows the owner, someone who rented the entire place for a party that I worked. They called the owner after the party and mentioned me directly to him which also made him look at the other reviews.
Today the GM called me in the office and told me not only about this but I guess he had a sit down with the head mechanic. The head mechanic told him that paying me to do mechanic work for the same pay as my other duties is not fair because I'm losing money by not getting tips. He gave him an appropriate number that he feels is fair given what I now know. He said I went above and beyond doing the pindecks and flat gutters last week among other things getting the place back into shape. So the GM gave me a nice pay bump for both the mechanic and for the Assistant Manager duties, mechanic being the higher of the two. This was totally unexpected, it wasn't even an employee review. I'm in shock. This job isn't even work because I enjoy it so much, it's nice to be appreciated. This is going to help my family soooo much!
