    The recent change in ownership is a big reason for the current problems. The new owner doesn't have hotel experience but keeps insisting on changes. She keeps comparing the hotel's revenue with high-end hotels, even though our place is old and has many maintenance issues. She doesn't want to invest in important repairs or upgrades, and instead, she interferes with daily operations. Things got worse when most of the senior management resigned. Now only junior staff are left running the place. Sales are bad, staff welfare is ignored, and there's no bonus. The owner is managing the hotel like it's her own house.
    The good thingsMet good colleagues here unfortunately cant continue employment. Toxic.
    The challengesPoor management. Mainly staff leaving is toxic environment. Dont see any potential working here.
