If it was anything like Africa Ops, you would probably get promoted to Guest Relations.
Ick! I look *terrible* in plaid. Plus I find it really hard to keep a straight face when guests ask for the impossible or utterly unjustified.

::sigh::

Good job sticking with it. At least they're giving you a chance to fix the OG for future training purposes.

Now, now, let's be fair. The last major major screwup from Africa got force transferred to Dinoland ... THEN promoted to Guest Relations.

There was one other cast member that was force transferred (to Main St Ops), but a good number of folks that were actually around for that incident believe that it was a mgmt screwup, rather than a cast member screwup.

Well, it looks like the drama is now behind me, and I still have my yellow ID card.

It wasn't easy. My Union president made several phone calls to Team Disney folks, and I rather suspect some of that trickled down and dissolved some of the petulance I'd been dealing with.

I came in early yesterday, on what might have been my last day, only to find that the main protagonist had decided to no call-no show on me. :chicken1: !

Instead I met with one of the cluefull GSMs who wrote a memo noting my objections, the flawed OG, reiterating that it would not be used for dicipline, and reminding all that I was authorized to send the whole stinking railroad 101 if there was a conflict in interpretation among the crew or if I though things were unsafe. That should come in *way* handy in a grievance hearing! :readit:

Today, Mr. No-Show was all smiles. He praised me for my detailed, 14-page list of objections to the OG, and wondered if I would mind giving him a copy so he could start fixing things? :dropmouth

I was good. I didn't tell him how (or where) I *wanted* to give it to him.

But, isn't that that be the only way he can read it ?

Good job Zazu!
Bravo, Bravo!

Maybe they'll look to you for more 'corrections' that may be needed at your home at the park.

In the real world, finding problems like that would have gotten you promoted, not yelled at. I guess the 'yes men' of the world really do have it made.
