Stupid Orientation Tricks

Post by KingsIslander » Sun Mar 07, 2010 6:25 pm

Every Kings Island associate has to go through orientation and department training. Some people handle it better than others. Both our papers and the emails that they send us stated that we were to have our associate IDs and be in our park-issued uniforms for orientation. Unfortunately, there were many associates who felt that this applied to everyone but them. Imagine their surprise when they were denied entry to orientation. :rolleyes: Fast-forward to department training. During the safety presentations, we were told multiple times to turn our cell phones OFF, and that using a cell phone during the training would result in termination. Of course, Little Miss Entitlement felt that this did not apply to her, so she started texting. Some people should not be allowed to breed. :duh:

I'm imaging the sound of a gun going off and someone hopping around on one foot while the other is bleeding.

How long before her mommy or daddy is calling HR demanding that she be re-hired.

Way to weed out the incompetents. You just know that if she'd text during orientation, she'd text during a shift.
