Not A Good Sign

27 Nov 2011

We were promised to work in the bar (owned by the hostel's boss) next week, but today we saw a staff from the bar doing the cleaning in our hostel's garage. From this, we came out with two possibilities.

1) The bar was too quiet and hence the staff was moved to help around the hostel. If this is true, and the staff was not paid, it is totally not fair to the staff because the wages he gets should not include cleaning in the hostel. It seems like the boss is smart and calculative.

2) The staff was paid to clean in the garage as extra work. But if this is true, why didn't he ask us to do that as he knows we need extra cash?

No matter which is correct, for sure the restaurant is not busy enough to get us in and help around the restaurant. Otherwise, the staff would not have been asked to clean the garage. If we could hardly earn extra cash next week, I do not wish to stay any longer here.
