Year 2011 working in the Hotel for a year

My first day of working at the Hotel called 'La Flora Resort & Spa' as an English teacher on June 7, 2010. It was my first day at work which was so new to me because I have never thought I would like to work in the place where I had hundreds workers as I would love to have a peaceful life.

I had to make a test and interviewed them one by one for the entire hotel. Some of them were nice but some wasnt. Most of people who could spoke English thought that they didn't need to learn as they were already good. I admited that some of them could communicate to the guests but really correct grammatic way. So, few of them didn't like me when I put them in the lower lavel than they imagined.

My first class was with about 20 poeple in the room. (They were like 150 people altogether.) Most of them thought that I was the Fillino at the first time. Most of my gentlemen students made fun of my classes and made all the silly comments esp. the Sport and the restaurant team. I was mad to death but I could give them any hint that I was. As for the ladies students, some of them thought and think that theirs is great and most of the words they know so how could i help them to get better when they didn't admit that they needed to change it. Moverover, I had and have very cute students who tried to learn as hard as they could and they always said thar "I am old and I can catch up with the lessons" so I tried my best to help them. All of them both gave a couragement and discouragement.

I have been teaching them until the begining of September. Then i started doing differnt kinds of jobs; selling trips, MCing, helping the RM and doing some jobs which were similar to the secretary position. Therefore, it is fun to me as I like to think and use my brain better than just giving a thing in my head. "I mean teaching even I love that job even I might get bored time to time" SO I saw the different view points when I walked with the RM as he manages the whole hotel and handles both guests' problems and staff's. Moreover, I have to think also what i could make it better to improve the whole hotel. I have the direct order from HIM and the Owner what to do and tell it to whom. This caused more problems as i wasn't a manager not even. Most of the managers and a lot of staffs thought that I liked to order things for them to do but I was ordered by the highest supreme people (RM and The OWNER) to ask the others what to do. It is my fault to have done those things. If it is 'yes', it means I should have told anyone and work all the works by my own hands but how can I finished them?

The same situattion but different story, it is hard for me to get along with some co-worker as I most of the time could eat or talk about something that they did. They thought that I was so proud, arrogant, pride and all kinds these words I could write all of them. As I am a single lady who hasn't a boyfriend here; they thought that I choose too much. The truth is every guy here has a girl or wife but they mostly said "I am a single" and most of them have thousands of lovers. How can I stand this situation. I just can't be one of theirs. I almost made a mistake for the one guy who looked like a sincere guy and gentleman. He spoke nicely. Forturnately as I was very curious so I had been asking the whole time what things he wanted to get from me. The result was they (his afriends and himself might bet on me who would got me in the trap). After that while I thought to myself I have dug my graveyard in the working place but it wasn't that bad. At least I learned a lesson not to trust people who acted nicely esp. guys because they are totally different. (I thought that all poeple can be good even though they hang out with the bad guys.) huh!! that I guessed it was the most expensive lesson.

When you work with thousand of co-workers, it is easy to have people discuss about you (as they call 'gossip'). And when you work with the BIG boss, you easily get jealous by without knowing. I have noticed that we shouldn't be open to poeple we are not sure that they are trustworthy. You can be friends, but not close until you get hurt.

This is not a good story and I even pray and forgive them and I tried hard everyday.

By June 7th, 2011, I will have been working at the First hotel of La Flora Resort & Spa for a year. It might be the last day of my working day here as I plan to resign on May 7, 2011.
