So the assistant manager that I have been complaining about was fired the other day.
I found out yesterday that our general manager quit (or got fired, I really don't know) two weeks ago and no one bothered to say anything to me. Of course, the previous one had quit (complete with 4 week notice) and neither he nor anyone else told me until almost a month after he left. People don't tell me anything, and usually I'm fine with that.

Yeah I'm typically the last one to find anything out too.
And I actively work to avoid gossip.

I definitely don't want any gossip, but a note saying "Hey, So-and-So quit so don't call them if there are any problems" would be good.
No, I didn't try calling someone after they had quit, but I probably would have if there had been any major issues.

Note? the person you are taking over for couldn't of just said hey heads up such and such quit.
Do they just really not like talking to you that much?

Telling me would have worked too. I don't know if they don't like talking to me. Usually they are in a hurry to leave, and I generally project an aura of not wanting to chat. Mainly I suppose that they all assume someone else told me already, so they don't say anything.

I make the person I'm replacing give me updates in case anyone messed anything up so I can be prepared. (They mess things up quite often)

They'll (usually) tell me about things like rooms that are down, stuff that's not working, guests that are a&++$$$s. Things like that. But staffing changes? Nah, usually I have to just notice a new name on the schedule, or one that has gone away.

And speaking of rooms being down, our interim GM was on the desk this morning and f#~#ed up the housekeeping assignments. So 15! rooms (that's 25% of our total) didn't get cleaned today. Now, I still have 27 more that are ready to sell, but that's a lot of missed rooms.
That is a lot of messed up rooms. I too find a large number of my problems come from poor management. That and housekeepers and the person that is suppose to check up on our housekeepers. (Come on two people inspect the room and still miss things like beer cans or stained sheets!)

This weekend my activity will be scrappier then usual since on Sat we’re going to have a praying session at the temple, then on Sunday we’re going to have a praying session at my aunts place(which I’m pretty much party organizer). So there’s going to be party beehoon that needs to be cooked,Char siu,Shao rou and Shao ji, and fried chicken wings to be collected and laid out on the table for a huge family party. Probably going to delegate the collection of the cooked food to my uncle but still, long story short, there’s quite a bit to be done so I won’t be checking paizo very much.

Also my players threw me a curve ball in PBP land so I’m rolling with it so to speak. Which got me busy.
I wasn’t expecting they’d actually fork out dosh they earned in the prequel to raise NPCs. The NPCs deaths were not their fault – since they were already dead by the time the party got to the scene. (They were on a rescue mission).
Definitely not being sarcastic |

Oh that won't do you will just have to reschedule.

It is a concrete concept of "not having any" expressed with a singular symbol. Same thing with the word, "Nothing." Doesn't mean the word (or concept) doesn't exist, merely that we have encapsulated the concept with a specific word or formed expression.
Foop! Brain fixed.

Hey, if it works, it works! She had the correct concept! I think you had the right approach: "So, the notation you're using works, but it's not what anyone else uses. Thus, not only will you not be able to show someone else what you're doing, but a lot of people are going to say what you're doing is wrong. How hard would it be to start using Os instead of Xs?"
She might not change, and that would be her choice, but at least she'd know it wasn't the way "most" people did it.
oh no, this was what a lot of older Caribbean people used, her education was very British at the time she was growing up. She did not refer to zero as zero on this case, but as "naught". Which was very confusing to the American kid. "Eight by naught is naught", "so when you multiply [the number in the tens column when multiplying two digit numbers], you put in a naught [to hold the place of the number in the ones column on the second line]", etc.

Gran, I wonder if it's because of the stigma of telling your colleagues you quit. I felt that kind of shame when I left teaching since it wasn't my kind of thing.
Then there was all those self esteem issues on how much I s*ck to be unable to hold on to a job etc.
And not S*ck in that sense, Freehold and Kjeldorn.

And also if I get a bad day(like do badly for a test), I can't stand having people feel sorry for me. I get angry with that since I'll find it insincere. same applies to jobs, so I might have acted the same way, again there's this nagging sense of responsibility that tells me I should tell my colleagues I quit, again there's that shame.

Man, it took me several attempted read throughs to realize what kind of "GM" you were talking about. I was very confused about what, exactly, kind of game you were in, or what, right up until the last sentence.

Yeah, when people speak very similar languages, but a few important nuanced differences, it can make communication quite difficult - sometimes more-so than if they just have different languages altogether, because at least in that one, you'd expect linguistic difficulties... though you can learn to expect them by understanding that different dialects are, in fact, different, and have different rules and elements associated with them.
This is one of the reasons I am a strong proponent of suggesting people think of math as both a language and a logical system.
The latter helps in all sorts of aspects of everyday life - often indirectly, by applying basic principles to everyday issues, even when you're not using the numbers themselves, as well as with the numbers - while the former will help you understand what everyone's talking about in quite a few different fields.
And when people run into confusing elements like this - when different cultures utilize slightly different terminologies -, it can be easier to understand what's happening, since it becomes a different dialect of the same language. I mean, it's still confusing, but less, perhaps.

Yes, Coke is cheaper than water pretty much everywhere you go,
I will say, down here in Florida, at least, you may certainly get water for free from restaurants, and coke (or any other drink) costs money, but that requires eating at a restaurant and generally presupposes you're buying something from them.
When you're looking at just purchasing a big ol' bottle of soda verses a big ol' bottle of water... I'm actually not sure. I guess it depends on the store you're at, and what brands you're looking at.
It's certainly easier to get non-water than water, as water tends to be packaged in either very irritating or very large (or very both) packages. There are other sizes, but those are the really, stupidly expensive ones for no reason I can determine.

loss of a job doesn't mean you suck in any sense of the word. Employment is a challenge sometimes.

I just found out last week that Peacock quit, or was fired more than a month ago.
He was my floor! "At least you don't b!+ about everything like Peacock!" they'd say.
