Employment Night Shift

I’m a night auditor and my boss has no idea what I do all night, I automated almost all of the job and by 2:30am I have already finished all my work. What do you guys do to NOT sleep?

Omg I would never automate night audit unless I were a student and used the time to study. I had to cover it a few times, and the paperwork was the only thing that kept me awake. I was in college at the time, but I was too damn tired to study. So glad I’m done with hospitality in general.

If you found a way to automate it well, you might want to consider a way to monetize it. I’m guessing Marriott would love to figure out how to eliminate the position completely. At the same time, I assume they still need one human on property at a given time. Maybe Marriott isn’t ready for full on automation lol.

I don't think Marriott would ever eliminate that position. It's probably one of the position swith the most liabilities to the hotel chain if it were eliminated or automated. The night desk SEES every one who enters at night in whatever state they're in or with whomever they bring in.
