re: #266 AK-47%

A friend of mine in the hotel industry tells me that his chain simply cannot use people who are not intelligent enough to grasp complex problems and solve them independently, except as maids and groundskeepers.

Heh. I talk to people and tell them about my management experience and even throw out numbers that I used to run, talk about P and L and how to increase sales. I did an interview with a small chain (7 stores) in Florida back in 2004 or 2005. The guy asked if I had any questions for him and I said, “Yes. What, eventually, does this place have to offer me”? he said, “What is your goal”? I said “To be Director of Operations”. Wanna guess what his job title was?
