For the last couple of days, dealers hired recently have been given a piece of paper that is hand written that says "Mandatory Meeting - 12 Noon Monday". This is exactly what happened to the boxmen at the Golden Nugget. What happened was that they went to the meeting and found out that they were laid off effective immediately. One supervisor said that it was not as bad as the dealer's think. Which could mean that the dealers called to the meeting will be moved to "extra board" which is basically on call. When moved to extra board, the new dealers may work only one day a week. This will prevent the Golden Nugget from giving out unemployment.
I have not received a piece of paper yet, however, someone hired one week after me has received one. They only have one more day to give me the paper, so keep your fingers crossed. Unfortunately, half of my friends were hired after me. It's really sad and the mood at work is very depressed.
How hard is it to find other casino jobs? If you get laid off one place, can you just go down the street?
ReplyDeleteSometimes and sometimes you can't find employment anywhere. It would be hard for me to find a place as good as the Golden Nugget with my limited amount of experience.
