It's all about ME, ME, ME (CM Rant about another CM)

[Cranbiz]

Ok,

Last night I'm working the MK hub and I'm on 7:45pm until 4:45am. I drive SG's until 11:15 and then goto lunch.

No problems until I get back to the booth and I'm assigned...... The ES! (Employee Shuttle for those who don't speak bus)

I have got to say, while the majority of you fellow CM's are great, some are total A holes. Look, All I am is a simple bus driver who takes you from the utilidor entrance, to westclock, and back. I don't set the rules and I don't assign my schedule. (Oh and I can't extend myself either)

MK clears around 3:50am (EMH until 3am) I call my coordinator for in structions, she says run ES until 4:15 and then take the bus to FIW.
I clock at 4:45, It takes at least 30 minutes to clear the ES, get to FIW, bring a clean bus back to TTC and get to westgate to clock out so I need to leave no later than 4:15 to avoid clocking late ( you may need to wait for a clean bus, you may need to wait for a parking assignmant at TTC)

So I pull up to westclock at 4:10 and wait the prescribed 3 minutes, I have a decent load of CM's going into work and I need to unload some at Toontown. It's now 4:18 and I'm leaving toontown so I change the marquee From "VIP Cast Member" to "Donald Duck" ( WDW speak for ES and Out of Service / Special Assignment. Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse mean the same thing BTW It depends on the version of the software in the controller on what name you get) and I proceed to the tunnel. I arrive, discharg my load of CM's and state to the masses trying to leave, "this is a drop off only, another bus is 1 minute behind me"

Ok, I understand the grumbles, you want to go home BUT so do I. You have already clocked out, I haven't. You don't run the risk of a 1 point assessment for clocking late, I do!

I get this manager beating on my door, He says that I WILL take everyone back to westclock, including him. I say , "I'm sorry, It's now 4:20, I was instructed by my coordinator to leave here at 4:15 and go to FIW." He proceeds to demand my ID. I tell him, that he is now holding up the bus that will take everybody to westclock. Finally, he gets off, cussing that I'm responsible for his being delayed in leaving.

By the time I finally got back to westgate to clock out, it was 4:58pm. Talk about cutting it close!

This jerk, almost cost me a point, want's my GSM to reprimand me and probably wants me to kiss his A$$ on the castle stage. All over a couple of minutes of his time.

With all of the crap that we take from the SG's, why are we giving it to ourselves?


PS: My GSM said to me after I told him (after I clocked out) that I should have taken him with me.............To FIW! I guess that I'm OK but I really don't need this garbage.

Wow. I feel so sorry for you. I'm in retail, so I know what you mean. Sort of. It's not exactly the same thing, but it's got the same impatient I'm-higher-than-thou-so-kisseth-my-asseth sort of people. Like this one lady he got impatient just because she was second in line. Geez.

BUUULL SHIIITT,you get his/her name and go to the powers that be.
Last week we got paid for Easter,(one of our only few paid holidays).Management says,"NO OVERTIME",so I ask my superviser about a 'extra' day off.(technically,yes MS I used my coaster,it's not overtime,buutt).So I asked him 'again',he says "don't worry about it".If i get called up on the carpet guess who's going with me.
Stick to yuor guns cranbiz.If you get into trouble,tell your supervisers "I was following YOUR RULES"

[leftcoaster]

I can't relate personally, but I do know a CM that has been at MK for about 8 months. I assume that WDW is union, and if so, she is obviously at the bottom of the totem pole, or close to it. However, she is constantly complaining about her work hours. She says she wants "9 am to 5 pm." Obviously no one else at WDW wants those hours, so she should get preferential treatment.

[darph nader]

I don't see 'why not'. I'm sure she 'deserves' it.(You know,"a legend in her own mind").

Definitely. Probably wants weekends off too.

Well OF COURSE,with a hefty raise to boot.

PS: My GSM said to me after I told him (after I clocked out) that I should have taken him with me.............To FIW!

So what you do, you let him on but no one else, telling them this is a special bus. I would love to have seen his expression when you turned down Floridian Way. Or I would love to have watched him explain to 87 why he was there...

[Cranbiz]

Better yet, when he tells 87 that he needs transportation to westclock right now. Riiiight!

I would have let him ride back to TTC with me and then tell him that he needs to wait for the monorail or ferry to MK. It would have been maybe 8am before he was back at the tunnel.

Hey Big Wallaby, when you have hub training and you go back to ES, ask your trainer what is the approved way to go 10-7 from ES.


Got stuck on Pluto last night. At least when it's time to go 10-7, a GSM is at MO-7 to verify that you were there and to tell anyone that this is the last shuttle of the night.

I'm doing Grad Night Friday, going to be a long boring night.
