Maning Your Station

I do not have a permanent station in the dining hall; however, I am attached to the salad bar. Last semester, I was lucky if i got to work deli once every month. This semester I get the opportunity to work a different station once a week. For those of you who do not know how jobs are handed out to employees during the night, here is chance for you to to learn something.

At 4:00, Sodexo employees have their dinner break. We are usually given a thirty minute break. Around 4:20 our manager sits down and talks to us. They are really laid back. Once the small talk is over comes the paper. The manager usually takes out his folded paper that has all the job assignments for the night. He assigns people based on comfortability and necessity. If you work best at a station, you can guarantee that 8 times our of 10 that you will be at that station. 

But........ if they think it is time for a change in scenery, you will get asked to work a different station. This usually happens when someone calls out. I wish this happened more often because I like the chance to explore the dining hall.
