Nothing comes from nothing; nothing ever could.
HOPE NO ONE MINDS IF I LIVE TWEET THIS BITCH!
The Art of Seduction: A Guide by Jessica Day
I think I’m emotionally constipated because I haven’t given a shit in months
I think that Concierge and Hospitality are the two hardest roles to get. My major is hospitality and I was still nervous about getting concierge or hospitality. I did have some hotel experience, but really none at all (I only worked there for a month,the management was really bad). I only checked off four roles: concierge, hospitality, FSFB, and vacation planner. My interviewer was really nice and talked about her hospitality experience in the values. I ended up getting accepted in 6 days of my interview too.
So I would try to have back up roles if you really just want to end up back at Disney and hope to get transferred into hotels after your program.
And the fact that you’re sending this through an anonymous hate message says so much about you.
It was my job and future on the line. I would not have been able to do another College Program ever again, my reputation with the company would be tarnished forever, and I would be terminated due to somebody else’s actions.
If I had been the one drinking in the apartment then sure I’d have a valid reason to get terminated, but it was my roommate who went down to do the program to drink, party, and meet guys rather than work for the company.
I graduated from college with a degree in hospitality and tourism so that I could work for Disney. I would not be going back this August if my roommate had gotten me termed.
If you think that I’m a stupid bitch and an unpleasant person to deal with that is you’re opinion. I have never in my life has someone tell that to me. And you’re not even telling me to my face, you’re hiding behind a wall, anon.
How is NOT REPORTING IT taking the “bigger route?”
Technically I’m not supposed to talk about it but I always told the students at send off parties what happened with my situation as a forewarning of what could happen to them.
So I was 18 turning 19 on the program and was hoping to make Disney my career when I graduated college so I didn’t want anyone to ruin my chances moving forward in the company. From the start I never really clicked with my roommates, we were friendly to one another but we never hung out in or out of the apartment really. One night I came home from work around 1 am and there were some guys over the apartment from Chatham (so that’s one rule broken already) and they were making daiquiris and I just went to bed because I had to get up early in the morning I think. The next day I come home from grocery shopping and open up the freezer and see the bottle of Captain hanging out in there. I asked all my friends what to do about it and they told me to go to security.
So my friend came over because I was going over to her apartment after for a little family dinner and she walked over to security with me to write my statement. I walked into the security booth and the guards asked me if my apartment was Wellness (under 21/no alcohol allowed) and I showed my complex ID with the giant, bright red UNDER 21 across the front. They had me fill out the statement and fortunately I was able to fill it out anonymously. What that means is that my roommates never knew it was because of me that security came to the apartment.
About an hour later I get calls and texts from my roommate that security is at our apartment because “our fridge was leaking into the apartment below us.” So the guards opened up the fridge and found the bottle and then because of that they did an apartment search to find any other bottles. I came home later and my bed was out from the wall, drawers were open, everything was just not where I left it. And apparently my other two roommates had bottles hidden in their room but the security guards never found those…
Next morning we get a loud bang on the door to go down to the security building and fill out statements of what happened the day before and later we had a housing meeting over at the Commons. There they pulled us all in individually to ask us what happened and if anyone confessed. One of my roommates ended up getting termed, she wasn’t a right fit for the company anyway. She was there to party and not to gain the experience like I was.
So just so everyone knows you are always in control if you’re in a wellness apartment and you find out your roommates are keeping alcohol in the apartment. Security will always be on your side if you’re the one to come forward.
