♡ LBR 2024 ♡
I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the new year than with a fresh season of LeVar Burton Reads.
This exhausted my spirit to read, but it’s laced with a reprieving vindication too. When I started these reviews for LBR, I worked at a family-owned hotel.
The hotel’s condition began to decline in a number of ways, and I reached out to the owners over and over again. Each shift was more miserable than the last, as customers were enraged by mismanaged bookings, inadequate amenities, and poor hygiene/upkeep. After five years getting nowhere with my warnings, armed with a stimulus check to get by, I quit the job I loved most.
The hotel was shutdown due to these issues about two months later.
There’s nothing worse than pushing a rock up a hill, except maybe pushing it off a cliff. You can only warn your leadership so many times. There are such casualties to ignoring the red flags too. Several of the hotel employees (one of which, was a senior citizen) lost homes they’d enjoyed for 10+ years. Even more lost their jobs with no notice, and the way I heard it, no final check.
There’s a selfishness to running the wrong mission into the ground. It’s impossible to decide what to do after a certain point. Who and what to save with what material and resource you have.
In my personal situation, I saved me.
If I’d been in Stephanie’s shoes, I would’ve saved my person too.
