CM's that got fired.

[vreet]

The second guy then paid the first $20 for doing so.

Would they still have been fired if money had not been exchanged?

Probably. You're not supposed to use your pass to help other people get more people into the park.

Where did that happen? Was that near me (in DC), or did that just make the papers here all the way from somewhere else?

Given that she said Parish school board, I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's Louisiana. But then again, it tends to happen everywhere these days.

I honestly don't know how that would be "better" sleep. Seems to me like you would just wake up with a really sore back, unless of couse the desk were really big or something, lol.

If it was my cube, I'd definitely have a sore back, not to mention I'd be dusty as all hell.

How about this one? Two guys from my location were recently termed because one used his Main Entrance Pass to help the other get a really big group into DL. The second guy then paid the first $20 for doing so.

The problem here...they did all this in plain view of the Main Entrance CM, along with at least two managers, apparently.

At least be covert when you're blatantly violating every rule in the book, eh?

Seriously, I don't know a CM that didn't help a friend/co-worker sign people in, or ask someone to help them. Yes, both of these are direct violations of the rules. But it's one of those things that everyone did covertly, the managers knew everyone did it but just looked the other way because they did it themselves before they became managers. One manager I had overheard two CMs working out such a deal and basically told them to wait until he left before continuing their conversation (meaning, "I don't care if you do it, just don't let me find out you're doing it."). If someone is stupid enough to blatantly do it in front of the Main Entrance Ticket Takers and management, they deserve to get termed IMHO.

Would they still have been fired if money had not been exchanged?

Disciplined, definitely. Fired, maybe, depending on the circumstances and the CMs' record. Again, as I said above, if they were stupid enough to get caught, they deserve to get fired.

When I worked Storybookland in the 80's there was a girl who was stealing money out of other CM's purses. They put a fake purse with marked bills in it and caught her. She was escorted out of the park in cuffs. What was her name....????

Oh, yeah! And another girl who was a lead at Tomorrowland Terrace was embezzling money along w/ her BF who worked P-lot. They stole so much money they bought a boat! They should've sailed to Cuba before they got escorted out in cuffs! Another case solved with marked bills. The exploding ink kind! HAHAHAHA! :twisted:

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

Do they THINK no one notices the missing money???

[glendalais]

Here's another one for y'all. Just remembered it this morning for some random reason, lol (probably the fault of staying up all night studying for finals).

Two guys got fired (or at least disciplined, though judging from their attitudes, probably not) for going into the lockers over at the Cast Costuming building, opening all the lockers along one aisle, and then running along the aisle shutting all of them .

Probably the same guys who've been tagging and scratching up the mirrors inside the Men's Changing Room, too....

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

thats almost on the edge of becoming an SG version of a CM? Goofing off, or looking through the lockers?

[Cheshire Figment]

They are about to make it much easier to get rid of people for misuse of Main Gate Passes. There are new turnstiles at MK which will print tickets. As a pilot project the readmission tickets for Guests on a Main Gate (or Holiday) Pass will be automatically printed by the turnstile and will take a finger scan.

If someone brought in on a Main Gate gets in trouble and the CM is not with them (and is not a relative) they can now tell who gated them in.

Are you supposed to stay with a guest you let in? or be responsible for their behaviour?

[CMGUY89]

Are you supposed to stay with a guest you let in? or be responsible for their behaviour?

Unfortunately yes. If you leave a guest and they get in trouble, you are in BIG trouble. Also their tickets won't work unless you are in the park with them.
