MamaJD: Thumbs Up for HHospitality As Employer

I have worked for Hagadone Hospitality in several areas and several positions. One of the best jobs I EVER had was as a caddie at the golf course. I was paid really well and the hours were great. It was a perfect job for a college kid. Duane Hagadone and his wife were always pleasant and would address my by name without the benefit of a name tag. The Resort is one of the largest employers in our area. This means that they are actually employing people - not enslaving them. There are plenty of opportunities at the resort and the employees are not competing with illegal immigrants as can happen in the hospitality industry. He has earned his money. It may be with the assistance of his employees (not on their backs as previously suggested) as he took the biggest risk with his investments. Who would have thought a floating boardwalk around an expensive hotel tied into a golf course with a floating green in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, would have turned a profit? I wouldn’t (and didn’t) bet my money on it but I did show up for the work he hired me to do and I took home a fair wage plus excellent tips.
