Been coming to the same hotel long enough to see the clerk become manager, and then to get a regional audit position. It’s rather heart warming.

This is both heartwarming and depressing at the same time

I’ve stayed at a Westin so many times over 10 years that I’ve seen the front desk person promoted to head of housekeeping and later to front office manager, expect she will be hotel manager before long. Love getting to know people personally and then seeing them be successful in their careers

Don’t see how that’s depressing at all. That’s pretty cool tbh

I did what I thought was an informal info chat with a team about an opening. The team lead( Sr. Dir) called my VP who ended up calling me wondering what was happening. Why would the team lead do that? Is there benefit in asking him? Or is this a sign of his working style and what I consider low EQ.

So I had a first interview this past Friday at a company that I had previously interviewed with and made it to the final round last month. They decided to go with an internal candidate after it came down to me and him. The current role is more senior, and was one I was asked to apply for by the hiring manager, whom I also met with during the last set of interviews. I emailed the recruiter to f/u on Friday and still have not gotten a reply. Should I be concerned?
