Just wanted to give a shout out to anyone who even read my post "listen to my gut" or responded. I needed to take it down quite frankly, so I could move on. Had I left it up I would have continually been reading it (yup, that's me) and not letting go of a bad experience in the industry. There is...

Been there as I just wrote in my last post. Though it was not a disease I could not function. I know this will be unsolicited advice, and I know I don't have the whole picture, but if it was not for acupuncture I would not be healed today. Nothing helped except for 3 visits to a master...

Thank you for the advice! Exactly, I will know for sure on Friday. The other Inn is quite lovely, it's all about living, work load, and being sure we all work well together.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is the way I feel. Of course I feel bad that I'm even considering another inn. Where they haven't even taken over the inn yet, still has to close, the only thing I see in the agreement is they can let me go at any time and I can leave but must give a thirty...

Thank you! Yes, in no way making excuses, I rushed into this as it was 2 days before Christmas and he wanted it returned within a couple of days. I did have to negotiate to get a day off, and so we went back and forth on that. Yes, I am going to wait until I am 100% sure about other position...

Great advice! I am going to meet the new inn on Friday. I'll know immediately if it's a good fit. And yes, responsibilities were spelled out (with first inn) and it is a bit more than I had wanted, but doable. And the living conditions were/are very nice with the exception of a unique bathroom...

Hi everyone! I haven't been on this for quite some time, but all of a sudden I am in an interesting conundrum and thought of Innspiring as THE place to go for help Here is my situation. I've been an innkeeper for a while, and was offered a position to run an Inn at a great location. So I went...

Thank you! And yes, you are absolutely right. For me personally, I think being a live-in I have felt closer, more responsible, more 'ownershipie' (haha, my word) of the inn. I DID tell the guest that I would let the owner know about her grievances. But that's when I should have also used the...

I love this! Thank you so much! Going forward I will use these words! The owner could have given me better words in my opinion, the constant comparison between myself and another innkeeper, to me is unprofessional. Guest are truly pleased with me and my performance, I've never had a complaint...

Good Morning! I've been off this site for over 2 years, but received such great advice the last time I was on which is why I came back on. I've been an innkeeper now for 4 years, sometimes a live-in and sometimes a partial live-in. Yesterday I had an experience which is the second time it's...

That would be me! I agree, this camera set up is perfect! The inn I'm at is continuing to watch us and that's not right nor is it necessary.

You all have been so wonderful and supportive. Here I am in a tropical paradise and I have a sneaky feeling Morticia was right. Referring to Morticia saying they probably know you are writing about them....I could be wrong, but decided to just be calm. No, I don't write on inn computer, actually...

Hahahaha! That's hilarious! I love it!

Hey everyone, It's not that they were singling me out about my work attire, they came in laughing telling us all they'd been watching all us for a while and that was just one part of the conversation that was told. I looked at them and just shook my head saying, really? really? Seriously need to...

Just a quick update folks. Today, at my inn, I was told they'd been watching us for 1/2 an hour from home and told me they were trying to figure out what I was wearing cause they didn't want to be wearing the same thing. Morale of the story? I'm so actively looking at the speed of light!!! I...

Watch us on their phones......creepy

This is all so true. As a matter of fact just yesterday they told one of the staff about something they saw being done while watching us off property. So sad.

Oh no! I never even thought of that until I saw your post. I'm on a W2. Thank you. I need to check into that asap.

This is what I'm trying to do is commute at this point before I get another position. No it's more than a cot. And there is my own bathroom and cooking spot. But it is most definitely not the value they've placed on it, trust me, and I thought it to be totally unfair of them to add this in as...

The only thing I can figure out is tax write off...I don't know why. They have a crazy amount on it stating that it is part of my pay. I'm very uncomfortable in this type of situation, and have been from the get go, especially after coming from a such a welcoming type of atmosphere in my...
