Dirty Corporate Feet -V Another J.O.B not meant to be…….

I started a job as a Engineering Supervisor -- at this hotel in the Greater Sacramento area!

Little did I know what kind of hidden agenda’s were going to unfold in these recession days.. My job, was to take the blame for the maintenance and the operation of the building. It seemed like everyday, I was finding more serious things wrong with the building.

The first thing, I noticed wrong, was my maintenance department people-- were being drowned by other department duties, like Shuttling, Banquets, Shampooing the rooms, which takes hours at a time and is a Houseman job!

The second big thing, I noticed was Black Mold -- harvesting, under the toilets in the rooms only to be thrown on the walls and ceiling by the exhaust fan distributing it. The third thing, I noticed was the ventilators on the roof not working, not even having any power in the wires? What the ventilators due, in a not working mode, is keep the rooms humid and acting like a fertilizer for Mold to grow!

The problems kept coming and I would keep finding them. I tried to order supplies for the control of the mold and for special tablets for the A/C unit’s pans to kill fungus and bacteria mold that would mutate in the pans. After cleaning some of the A/C units I realized that these units have not been cleaned in over twenty years! This particular situation caused an out break in the seventies called the Legion Air Disease -- killing hundreds of people at one time…Goggle it!

The pool -- was scheduled for it’s new drains so they would meet code. I believe my position was sacrificed to pay for those drains. That’s ok! As long as it is a safety thing and gets done? The rest of the pool’s equipment needs to be ripped out, its all old and bad! The deck needs to be resurfaced.

I got the management a quote; for the tree work that needed to be done, it was like seven thousand dollars! It’s to my belief, that they just shredded the bid and left the trees. One tree has already fallen and more to follow? Luckily the tree that fell did not land on somebody it was a mature Pine tree. The four hundred year old Oak tree in the phase II building, nearly pocks people in the eyes?

They have had steel union’s for gas pipes, go bad in the Kitchen area - releasing propane.. On the upside -- I didn’t see any bed bugs!

I had the corporate fix holes in the Stairwells and a couple of the Boilers but all five boilers need to be replaced. I got their programming computer system-- working and computers for the front desk to work for them, while I was their.
