NOT TRUE AT ALL 

but then again, it depends on the Hotel you're working with... dont expect too much if its a 3 star hotel 

i got the same opinion as hafiz_control

currently playing my role in the Digital Marketing department for one of the premier hotel in JB.

and yes, i am a "hot red blooded young male" as hafiz puts it the girls here are hawt.....

but the most important thing is that u get to work in a challenging environment where u can train yourself to be more proactive in your area of expertise

only been here for 2 months but learned so much

Hiye,
I was a front office asst manager in one of the 5stars hotel at the Bukit Bintang area... What I can say from my experience are it was really hard work, torturing and the pay suck... Many who join the hotel line would say they love to meet ppl and all tht but after a year or two their view will definitely change... If you enjoy meeting unreasonable and stupid ppl from around the world, then the hotel line is for you... Or else please spare yourself the misery and join some other line of work...

No I'm actually a computer graduate.. My asst GM asked me why I wanted to join the service industry and I told her things like I like meeting ppl, hate sitting in front of the PC the whole day and all tht...

Ended up I had to sit in front of the PC the whole day tracking the room blockings and reservation and I ended up hating meeting ppl almost immediately after I met my first stupid customer...

I'm no longer in the hotel line now.. Resigned early this year to join a design company... No regrets though because I really learned a lot from my 2 years there..

Too many till I don't bother keeping count la... Most of the staffs there hate Singaporeans and Arabs but for me they are all the same.. You'll find unreasonable people from anywhere.. I've met dumb customer from everywhere including our own Malaysian but I'm used to it already I guess...

I'm ok with fussy customers because they actually pay the amount of money to enjoy the 5stars service... It's the dumb unreasonable ones that I can't stand... Idiots who can't find parking spots la, hotel too big la, room not same quality with whichever hotel they've stayed in before la... And being a chinaman company you'll definitely meet people who claim they know the owner of the hotel, the GM or whoever minister that crossed their mind... Can't stand stupid people who have to sell others name to carry themselves around...

Not only that you know... Traffic jam in front of the hotel also they complain.. As if it's within our control those stupid idiots... It's Bukit Bintang area la what do you expect... Go stay in Mint Hotel if you don't want any traffic jam...

If there's one specific hotel that i'd recommend, it's Shang Ri La

holy guacamolie ! u serious elaine? maybe i should go there and snap some pics, hehe... 

erm, dont be mad elaine, thats standard procedure for every hotel in the world

unless of course its a less than 4-star hotel...

If you seriously get upset by not being able to go through the front door because you're an employee, I worry for you in the industry of work you've chosen..

You are human, but in the hotel management industry you are nothing. You have no rights. The guests are always what comes first. And thus, you are only there to serve them.

I have to agree with bahgger especially if you work under scary cat bosses who are so obsessed with keeping all the guests happy even when they're being totally unreasonable... It'll always be the staff's fault no matter what...

An incident happened to my ex-colleague just recently... There's this stupid auntie who demanded for a non-smoking room but due to high occupancy my friend explained nicely to her that we don't have it anymore... See see this auntie is a total idiot and the worse part is she knows the owner of the hotel... So she shouted at my friend and threatened her that she'll never work in another hotel ever again... The hotel owner really called the GM after receiving the complaint and now my friend is suspended from work... Poor girl explained to her nicely somemore and there were so many witnesses... Even my GM pity her but can't do anything cause it's out of his control and the hotel owner is a total idiot...
