After moving back up here to run a hotel for a friend of a friend 3 months ago we both were given our walking papers two days ago. After taking a property that was previously owned by foreigners, and run into the ground, we were thanked for our hard work and told we were not the right fit. My wife built a staff up where there was no staff. (the camel fuckers did it all themselves) I fixed, built, painted and cleaned what needed it.
We weren't getting rich, maybe a combined $75 between us,but to go to zero overnight just sucks. I think the guy realized that now that the hotel was in shape and has a staff he can pay someone half that.
Fuck him.

Sorry to hear it Tom. Real sorry.

Consider moving to Omaha. There are jobs galore here.

Well, when you're good, you're good. She got a call out of the blue offering her an AGM position at a hotel in Omaha. It's a substantial pay cut, but still way more than unemployment. Best news? No moving.

Also: when you're not that good.... I haven't had any fucking calls.....

Congrats to your wife for getting a call so soon, probably without even trying. Has to make her feel good.

Good luck to TomHusker.
