Tani Gold: Her Last Days

I walked into work on a Friday afternoon. As soon as I get there, Condii, tells me the news with a big smile on her face.

Condii: Tani got fired today.
Working Girl: WHAT!?
Condii: Yup. Sandy did it this morning.

The Story

It had gotten to a point where Tani had made herself public enemy number one. She hated the manager, she hated the front desk and she hated the housekeeping staff. There was really no reason as to why Tani was still working there. She could not have been happy and she was making everyone else miserable.

Apparently what started it all was a phone conversation. Condii and the Housekeeping Manager, Little Jalapeno, were talking. Both of them are loud, Latina women and they were in the middle of discussing something when the phone rang. Tani answered and began helping the guest make a reservation. She was having a hard time hearing the guest due to Condii and Little Jalapenos conversation, so instead of asking them to keep it down a bit she decided to go with a different approach.

Tani: SHUT UP!

She yelled at them. Little Jalapeno did not take that well. She immediately snapped back at Tani and it became somewhat of a heated argument until Condii stepped in.

Condii informed the owner, Sandy, about the incident and he finally had enough. Sandy was already sitting on the fence about Tani and her bullshit. Like I've said before, Tani was a good employee. She was the most annoying human being on the planet but guests seemed to like her and she'd get her shit done. She really didn't have to like us, but she did have to respect us as human beings. It had gotten to a point where she wasn't being respectful and therefore, she wasn't needed any longer.

On that Friday morning Sandy called Tani into the hotel. She refused to come in. She said she had something better to do. Maybe she had a hint of the inevitable but either way, her refusal to come in did not sit well with the owner.

Sandy: Okay, fine. You don't have to come in. But this call is to inform you that you've been terminated.

I was told that she immediately started crying and pleading on the phone in hopes to keep her job. It didn't work.

About an hour or so later, Tani came into the hotel to beg, plead, and cry in person. Again, it did not help. She sat in the lobby crying for quite some time after that and finally realized that this was no joke, she was fired.

Then we all danced and sang along to "The Wicked Witch is Dead."

It was quite the weight lifted off of our shoulders. We no longer had to worry about someone trying to get us fired or tell us how to do our jobs.

In the month before she got fired she had done a number of things that made it extremely difficult to work with her.

1. She wrote notes in the log book telling us how to do our jobs.
2. She told Condii that NONE of us knew how to do our jobs.
3. She threatened other Front Desk agents job security.
4. She physically threatened me in a fight.
5. She stormed out on multiple meetings with management.
6. And worst of all: SHE WAS A DISRESPECTFUL BITCH.

No matter how anyone feels about these Tani Gold posts, you will never understand until you've worked with her. We never got to see her outside of work, she could've been extremely nice and fun but she walked through those doors and she was hell on heels. I know I come off as a 'hater' or a 'bitch' but who gives a shit about those opinions (I don't). These stories about Tani are true and everyone, myself included, couldn't have been happier with her being gone.

Unfortunately, that was not the last of Tani Gold. There was still just one more face to face encounter we had.
