I keep an eye on an untalented psychopathic ex creative partner of mine. They were super good at talking the talk, so they’ve been getting jobs way above their ability. So far 5 for 5 fired within six months. Just saw they picked up a new role. 🍿 🍿

It’ll catch up to them eventually. This industry is too incestuous not to. I had a former employee like this and he blocked me on Linked so it’s getting harder to keep tabs. 😂 Similar track record though and from what I hear, he hasn’t been able to get a job in over a year.

Yeah, each place is less and less prestigious. Still though, solid titles. Dude does well before they realize he’s full of shit.

5 in 6 months? Yikes

I wonder why no one questions their resume

Moving on from Hotels (Hospitality)?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.
