Does anyone have experience working in hospitality in SEA? How did it go? Is there a toxic work environment like the rest of asia?What about the Upsides?

>>2739212Yea but do you have the fuckin gift of gab buddy? Are you gonna randomly do some weird chest beating bullshit and knock everything over at “Alexa beach club” and show your wild side? Where’s your instagram buddy?
>>2739210Not in hospitality myself, but have two close friends who are and one who was for many years. The two who are still in the sector are in management positions at international luxury hotel chains (one in Thailand, one now recently relocated to Indonesia after a couple of years in Australia), and they seem to be enjoying themselves well enough. The big chains are pretty impressive when it comes to in-house training and promotion, and especially international mobility—the guy I know who’s now in Indonesia started his career as a lifeguard, now manages a small army of Indonesian receptionists, and has lived and worked in four or five countries so far. The hours are often longer than in some normal jobs, and people have to be “on” in public-facing, customer-service mode whenever they’re potentially visible to guests, but it doesn’t sound like an intolerable grind by any means.The guy I know who WAS in hospitality but isn’t anymore was a slightly different case—he was initially a sommelier who spent time managing wine cellars, bars, and later restaurants at a series of very small, very expensive resorts, the last one in Phuket. He worked long/late, and managed locals, and kissed wealthy ass (he was on a couple of occasions an on-call wine-steward/bartender for visiting members of the Thai royal family), but also developed and maintained what became a debilitating drinking problem—bars and restaurants attract a lot of party people. But whatever the taxing elements of the job were, it wasn’t a product of any kind of Asian grind work culture. Work culture in Thailand isn’t like Japan or anything, of course—there’s a lot of looking perfect and displaying surface-level subservience to superiors while slacking off as much as possible. The guy I know who still manages a hotel in Thailand spends a lot of his time catching underlings sneaking off to eat snacks and gossip when they’re supposed to be working.
Why would you want to simp for fat boomers on vacation? Seems like a horrible career.
