Live-in Arrangements – Part 1
The hotel business is perhaps the second oldest business in the world. I read that somewhere long ago, and it stuck. The kind of live-in arrangements described in this article are not about that but, rather, what our industry provided in the past to its senior leaders and managers. Some of what you're about to read I experienced first hand and some of it was passed on down to me through stories and folklore. After all we only have our yarns and parables to share and once they’re gone, they're no longer part of our culture. Here is my shot at preserving some of that. I also want to mention that I am in no way complaining or pointing out supposed abuse of power or privilege, it’s just the opposite – I’m celebrating our past.
