What exactly is a Smart-Grid?



Obama to Announce $3.4 Billion in Electric ‘Smart-Grid’ Grants


By Nicholas Johnston


Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama today will announce $3.4 billion in government grants for equipment to improve the efficiency of the nation’s electrical transmission network.

The grants, ranging in size from $400,000 to $200 million, will be used to develop and install “smart-grid” technology to make electricity transmission more reliable and aid the transmission of energy generated from sources like wind and solar power.

“The current system is outdated and dilapidated,” Carol Browner, the White House’s top energy adviser, said in a conference call with reporters late yesterday. Today’s grants “will give us a transformational impact on how electricity is generated, delivered and consumed,” she said.

The money comes from the $787 billion economic stimulus legislation approved by Congress in February. Jared Bernstein, chief economic adviser to Vice President Joe Biden, said during the conference call the grants will “save or create tens of thousands” of jobs.

Bernstein said Oct. 15 the stimulus legislation has created or saved about 1 million jobs since it was enacted. The nation’s unemployment rate rose to 9.8 percent last month, and the president has said he expects it to exceed 10 percent before it starts coming down.

Solar Power Plant

Obama will announce the grants today in Arcadia, Florida, at one of the nation’s largest solar power generating facilities. Florida Power & Light Co.’s DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center will generate enough power for 3,000 homes when it is completed.

The president will highlight new technologies to transmit electricity from places like Arcadia, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) southeast of Tampa, to locations where energy demand is greater.

“Places with either solar or wind aren’t always the most populous areas of the country, and you’ve got to find a vehicle that’s technologically capable of moving clean power to places where the demand is greatest,” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters traveling with the president yesterday.

One of the largest grants being announced is $200 million for Constellation Energy Group Inc.’s Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. to provide new electric meters to 1.1 million households that will allow real-time monitoring of electricity use and help customers adjust their usage during peak times.

Sempra Energy’s San Diego Gas & Electric Co. will receive $28.1 million to build a wireless system to link the utility’s 1.4 million meters and monitor other equipment across the electrical grid.

The 100 government grants in 49 states are being matched by $4.7 billion in private investments.

  7. The Taliban-Al Qaeda merger.

    Nearly every major jihadist plot against Western targets in the last two decades somehow leads back to Afghanistan or Pakistan.

    --- The first World Trade Center bombing in 1993 was masterminded by Ramzi Yousef, who had trained in an Al Qaeda camp on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

    --- Ahmed Ressam, who plotted to blow up LAX airport in 1999, was trained in Al Qaeda's Khaldan camp in Afghanistan.

    --- Key operatives in the suicide attacks on two U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998 and the USS Cole in 2000 trained in Afghanistan;

    --- so did all 19 September 11 hijackers.

    --- The leader of the 2002 Bali attack that killed more than 200 people, mostly Western tourists, was a veteran of the Afghan camps.

    --- The ringleader of the 2005 London subway bombing was trained by Al Qaeda in Pakistan.

    --- The British plotters who planned to blow up passenger planes leaving Heathrow in the summer of 2006 were taking direction from Pakistan; a July 25, 2006, e-mail from their Al Qaeda handler in that country, Rashid Rauf, urged them to "get a move on." If that attack had succeeded, as many as 1,500 would have died.

    --- The three men who, in 2007, were planning to attack Ramstein Air Base, a U.S. facility in Germany, had trained in Pakistan's tribal regions.

    And yet, as President Obama weighs whether to send more troops to Afghanistan, the connection between the region and Al Qaeda has suddenly become a matter of hot dispute in Washington.
    We are told that September 11 was as much a product of plotting in Hamburg as in Afghanistan; that Al Qaeda and the Taliban are quite distinct groups, and that we can therefore defeat the former while tolerating the latter; that flushing jihadists out of one failing state will merely cause them to pop up in another anarchic corner of the globe; that, in the age of the Internet, denying terrorists a physical safe haven isn't all it's cracked up to be.

    These arguments point toward one conclusion: The effort to secure Afghanistan is not a matter of vital U.S. interest.
    But those who make this case could not be more mistaken.

  16. The Voice of the Prophet

    A truly chilling example of foreshadowing, The Voice of the Prophet is an interview with Rick Rescorla, the head of security for the investment firm Morgan Stanley Dean Witter.
    Filmed on the 44th floor of the World Trade Center in 1998, Rescorla details the future of warfare long before Osama bin Laden became America's Most Wanted.

    A retired Army colonel, veteran of combat in three wars and a survivor of the 1993 bombing of the twin towers (in which he saved the lives of hundreds of Morgan Stanley employees), Rescorla was killed in the WTC attacks of September 11, 2001. In this interview, Rescorla all but predicts the events that lead up to the September 11 attack and the war on terrorism that followed.

  17. Rufus, somewhere along the line between the Korean War and Nixon, the nuclear option became taboo. Ike was going to nuke the Norks, that's pretty much what got them to sit down and talk. I'm thinking the Cuban Missile crisis rattled a lot of policy makers.

  18. America needs a Ronald Reagan to repair the damage of this one-termer named Barack Hussein Maobama. Jindal ain’t it, he boofed his debut, and Palin ain’t it, America hates quitters and frankly she’s a moron. Newt is a RINO who supports RINO Dede Scozzafava in NY-23 and drug testing for all Americans (more fascist than anything Obama could ram through). That leaves Romney, Huckabee, and Ron Paul. My guess is that Huckabee breaks out of the pack for 2012.

  22. The two are not related, doug.

    You'd still have all the problems of progressive politics, even if Mexico ceased to exist.

    You are blaming the effect, calling it a cause.

    Sorry, that vitriol just falls short of the reality you have preached for years, with regard the short failings of our education system and the cause.

    The NEA. Now that you need another cause for the effects, you manufacture one, the students.

    Whether or not I think it is a goos idea, or a policy that we should embrace, I've not come to a firm conclusion. That we are moving in that direction, well, that goes to the heart of Skull & Boners program of continued homogenization of the whirled's cultures..

  29. The difference, 'Rat, is that a percentage of students from this country have parents that are still patriots for this country enough to bring some of the kids through intact.

    For folks from Mexico, the number is near zero, 'cause they are starting from a position of having Mexico, not the USA, not only as their country of origin, but their cultural and historic heritage.

    Newt is worthless. Romney can't get the nod (something about underwear.) Huckabee is a "bible-thumper.) Thompson's too old, and lazy. Pawlenty is just the most boring person in the world. We're not in too good a shape, here.

  32. The "Plan", doug, calls for the Walmarting of Mexico, which continues apace.

    The demand that became a need, that the US has created, for low skilled and paid workers is immense.

    That the US decided not to secure its' borders and invited upwards of 20 million undocumented workers and families into the country, not the fault of those we invited to the game.

    That some of the new residents do not want to acclimate to US, just a bumb in the road, if you live in the shadow of the UN building.

    Or in the metaphorical conga line.

    ReplyDelete
  33. It is a culture war, doug, and we are taking casualties as we advance.

    But that our culture is advancing and still ascendant, at least in the Americas, is without a doubt.

    That we will not leave the field as we entered it, a foregone conclusion.

    But then we never have been unaffected by wars we've won, before. Usually the greater the victory, the more the status que changed.
    WWII stands in testament to that, as does Mr Lincoln's Civil War.

  37. As long as 3% of the whirled's population is consuming more than 20% of the whirled's output, those folks are winning.

    No matter who or where they are.

    That is the mercantile measure that we have created for ourselves.

    If 3% of the whirled's population had control of 15% of the output, they'd still be far ahead of the rest, and still be winning.

    Just that the "lead" would have diminished. In the ebb and flow of whirled competition.

    Not to argue, but I always wonder about figures like that. I don't know or if anyone really does what our share of the world's total output exactly is, but I bet it's a lot more than three percent, in one way or another.

  52. And with a palatable candidate, they can't get more than 48% of the vote, Nationally.

    If that.

    The race in New York will be illustrative. A "conservative", a Republican and a Democrat.

    All running in the same race.

    If the Republican loses and the even more liberal Democrat wins, blame the "conservative".
    Just as bob blamed Libertarians in WI for Al Franken's election.

    The "third party" is always to be blamed for the Republicans losing.
    It's never their own fault or responsibility.
    It was not that Norm Coleman was a poor Senator, not representing the people of his State that caused over 60% of the electorate there to vote against him.

    It was the 3% of the Libertarian voters that voted their priciples.

    How convenient.

    The Democrats accepted the "Blue Dogs" into their ranks, despite some policy differences.

    To gain the levers of power and the control that majorities bring, in the Congress.

    Where are the moderate Republicans, The "Pink Cats" that would represent the Republicans from liberal areas, to match the "Blue Dogs"?
    Why the "conservatives" of the GOP stab them in the back, come election time. As is so aptly illustrated in new York.

    The GOP feeding upon their own.

  54. 2019.10.05知名酒店經紀獨家分析:每當看到酒店上班酒店小姐被「框」出場性侵的新聞,就覺得很無奈,一方面是為了有酒店上班姊妹遇到這樣的事情很難過,一方面是被新聞誇張不實報導,引起社會的恐慌甚至各大留言板的對話更讓人翻白眼。某些人,對大學生/上班族酒店兼差的新人對於「框」有很大的誤解。八大行業資深酒店經紀解釋裡說的「框」,是指直接包下小姐特定的時間。其實最單純來說,功能有兩種:把小姐找過來或留下來、帶小姐出店家。有時候到店家找自己認識的小姐,但酒店小姐目前在手工(打手槍) 、口爆(口交)服務其他客人,想要把該名小姐找過來,如果用點的,遇到對方喊加點,就只能喊框了;或是有其他客人想點走正在服務自己的小姐,加點後對方又喊框,如果這時前桌喊框,效力是優於後桌的。看起來很複雜,但簡言之,就是把小姐留在自己身邊的一種方法。而「框出」的定義和內涵,就值得深入討論了。歡迎想要高收入賺現金酒店打工的大學生/上班族,可上網求證對八大行業得相關資訊做核對比對甚至多比較,才能賺錢賺得安心,同時也要保護自己。

  59. 2020.02.13武漢肺炎嚴重衝擊酒店工作,很多小姐怕染病都不敢酒店上班。本刊調查,台北市的酒店幾十年來幾乎都集中在中山區,直到十幾年前,才開始拓展到東區一帶,目前包括制服店、便服店、禮服店等近百家合法、非法酒店林立,其中以趙姓、鄭姓、林姓、梁姓業者的規模最大,四人除了擁有多家酒店,旗下的經紀公司也掌控許多小姐,其他酒店若想多做點生意,還得仰賴四人幫忙調兵遣將,可說是四分天下的局面。不過,其中隨著三人年事漸高,加上都已賺足「退休金」,因而慢慢淡出業界,就在這個時候,中生代綽號毛毛蟲的王姓業者以及新生代酒店經紀梁曉尊趁勢崛起。資深酒店知情人士說,年約40歲的毛毛蟲原本是在林森北路的酒店圈當經紀,後來為求生意平順,加入竹聯幫「日堂」尋求靠山,但不同於其他逞凶鬥狠的幫派分子,他一直專注在八大行業。另一位新生代酒店經紀梁曉尊,一個剛出道的酒店經紀梁曉尊,時間背景正於八大行業的戰國時代,群雄割據⋯人人都是幹部、人人都是經紀人,在這麼競爭的環境裡脫穎而出。再千百人之內披荊斬棘、越戰越勇,不斷的創造機會闖出自己的名堂,不少資深前輩認為梁曉尊潛在未來有影響力的人物不容小覷。坊間流傳梁曉尊的小姐人數有高達200位以上⋯。
    中生代毛毛蟲在酒店經紀事業穩固後,也開始跨足經營酒店,他原本在中山區開金磚、金聰、金昌、金億等搖頭酒店,卻因屢傳鬥毆及吸毒事件,加上6年前轟動一時的「信義夜店殺警案」,許多嫌犯都隸屬「中山聯盟」成員,該聯盟也有負責處理毛毛蟲旗下酒店的經紀、圍事、泊車等業務,讓他的店成為轄區警方的眼中釘。
    另一位也是酒店經紀帶小姐的後起之秀新生代酒店經紀梁曉尊型式作風反而行事低調,主要經營模式採用大規模大數據(網路行銷事業)來應徵酒店小姐,Google 搜尋:梁曉尊/梁小尊。獲得亞洲地區Google認證關鍵字達到全版面。不僅如此⋯八大行業主要關鍵字(酒店工作)、(酒店上班)、(酒店經紀)、(酒店打工)、(酒店應徵)、(酒店兼差)、(酒店兼職)每組關鍵字都在首頁榮獲前3名。雖然遇到危機,但中生代毛毛蟲卻在這個時間點,開始接觸一些政商名流,開啟了主攻高檔市場的契機。由於毛毛蟲的店收費較其他高級俱樂部低,「小框」4個小時,只需5、6千元,讓許多商務客趨之若鶩。加上新生代梁曉尊頗具生意頭腦以及龐大的小姐人數,光大台北地區兩位佔市場最大公約數。

  60. 2020.03.20八大行業酒店上班因武漢肺炎 (COVID-19) 疫情持續延燒,對酒店工作帶來衝擊,據酒店打工數據組織 (酒店PT) 的數據顯示,因疫情造成的經濟和酒店S危機,恐將使不少酒店小姐失業人數上升至近10萬人。
    酒店S模擬了最壞的情況,若今年酒店經紀成長率下跌7個百分點,則失業人數可能暴增至3萬,超越 2009 年八大行業危機時期失業人數10萬人。
    由於疫情爆發帶來的經濟後果轉化為工作時間和工資的減少,預期失業人數恐將持續增加。就業率的下降也意味著工人的大量收入損失。該研究估計,到 2020 年底,收入損失將在 8600 萬至 1億元之間,也將使得酒店S和服務的消費支出下降,進而影響飯局和援交前景。

  61. 2020.03.28酒店工作要在這當中賺大錢不是不可能,只是你要克服的就是所有消費者的人性,酒店上班簡單說:就是要讓消費者覺得你『物超所值』。所有的八大行業包含酒店經紀都是服務業,要踏進去要有把客人當成花錢大爺的心理準備。也就是說酒店打工要先把自尊、面子都放在家裡面再去上班。八大行業酒店PT裏頭都或多或少跟喝酒間扯上關係,酒喝下去原本斯文的變成野蠻不講理;可是他還是客人,你還是服務他的人,要做服務業請先做好酒店上班心理建設。
    代價與報酬,兩者之間是相對的。
    你要賺別人五倍十倍的錢,背後付出的就是五倍十倍的代價。
    天下沒有白吃的午餐。

  62. 2020.04.21武漢肺炎(COVID-19、新冠肺炎)4月8日公告一名酒店工作酒店公關因為與客人親密接觸酒店S確診,中央流行疫情指揮中心隨即宣布9日起有男女陪侍的酒和舞廳無限期全面停業,酒店業進入大蕭條時代。酒店打工酒店小姐轉述常載客的老司機說,現在八大行業林森北路鬧空城,景象「四十年來第一次見到」。據了解,現在許多公關為求溫飽被迫轉入地下,到各種其它場所從事酒店PT傳播妹,或靠存款苦撐,處境艱難。4月8日北部一名酒店公關確診,中央流行疫情指揮中心隨即宣布9日起有男女陪侍的酒店和舞廳無限期全面停業,酒店上班進入大蕭條時代。酒店小姐轉述常載客的老司機說,現在林森北路鬧空城,景象「四十年來第一次見到」。據了解,現在許多公關為求溫飽被迫轉入地下,到各種其它場所從事傳播妹,或靠存款苦撐,處境艱難。酒店停業 小姐、泊車小弟都沒頭路。因應疫情,指揮中心日前勒令全台497家酒店、舞廳停業,相關從業人員一夕失業,北市的酒店公關和酒店經紀人哀嘆,政府說停業就停業,現在她們只能「吃土」。酒店經紀人芸芸(化名)底下有大約十名公關,政府宣布酒店停業後,除了她自己失業,底下的十名公關也瞬間沒了工作。「政府不瞭解酒店業運作」,芸芸說,她們固定是每週五發當週薪水,但政府9日(週四)逕自宣布停業,導致酒店公關的會計延遲發薪,小姐拿不到6日到8日的薪水。在酒店失業人群中當中,包括有近四年酒店小姐經驗、26歲的禮服店公關明明(化名),她直呼自己是「第一線受災戶」,抱怨政府無預警宣布停業,而且還沒有期限,「真的太過分」。明明說,她最近剛搬新家,剛繳了大筆房租和押金,停業五天,已經損失一萬八,接下來靠存款頂多只能再撐一兩個月,短期內也找不到其他替代工作,直言政府害她拿不到薪水,再這樣下去她可能也要去做傳播。芸芸說,其實早在停業前,生意受疫情影響已經很差,有的底層公關一週賺不到三、四千塊,加上公關要負擔較高的工作成本,髮妝費、治裝費都要自己出,也因為工作需要喝酒,常常得叫計程車,一天可能就要花掉一千塊。她指出,公關中還有很多獨自撫養小孩的單親媽媽,她們面臨更大壓力,但現在的相關補助都不夠。另外,像是酒店相關的經紀人、泊車小弟等行業人員也面臨失業困境。芸芸表示,她特別擔心從事少爺、泊車小弟的勞工,因為他們一部分是「道上兄弟」,處境最糟糕,薪水來源靠每天小費,一天沒工作就拿不到錢。「洗妹」亂象 轉入地下化風險更高更令人擔憂的是,政府勒令酒店停業後,酒店相關行業並未因此消失,而是轉入地下化。芸芸說,這陣子酒店經紀圈出現「洗妹」的亂象,很多經紀人利用這次疫情創造各種飯局和傳播的機會,在八大行業的討論板上標榜「想做快錢,疫情嚴重請私我」等語,挖角其他經紀公司的公關到自己旗下,結果現在很多小姐都去接各種飯局、陪酒,做傳播妹。「這是很嚴重的問題」,芸芸表示,相對於酒店小姐是在固定場所工作,常常有熟客來光顧,傳播妹面對的是陌生客人,去約好的KTV包廂、旅館或私人場所會面,不但造成防疫破口,還構成社會安全問題,因為沒有人可以保護這些公關的安全,確保她們拿得到薪水;一旦公關喝醉,被性侵的機率也很高,「現在這個狀況是非常非常不安全的」。

  64. 2020.06.25酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容我在酒店上班的日子@【酒店小姐】【酒店公關】做酒店真人真事的故事
    女孩們,妳清楚妳的目標嗎?
    一位客人因為愛上酒店小姐,每次光臨酒店都只會指名要這位小姐坐臺,日子久了不敢來酒店上班-酒店打工的原因,這位客人決定大膽告白,但沒想到卻被酒店小姐嚴肅的打臉,並且給了讓他震驚的回答,以下酒店上班-酒店兼職-兼差如何達成人生的第一桶金是他們的經典對話:
    客人:你以後不要再上班了,以你的條件完全可以過更好的生活,我可以照顧你的。
    小姐:為什麼你照顧我?
    客人:因為我喜歡你,不想你在這些地方上班這麼辛苦。
    小姐:你喜歡我什麼?我的美貌?
    客人:不管因為什麼也好,你在這理上班所得來的一切 ,我都可以給你。
    但這個小姐拒絕了,並且給了讓他震驚的回答 。
    她說酒店兼差不是一個複雜的工作環境?:我在這裡上班 ,每天上班可以拿到6000-8000元,並且只是幾個小時,我只需要坐在那裡唱唱歌 ,吃點心,我甚至可以不用喝酒,並且不用和客人發生關係,一天6000-8000元,一個月就是18萬-20萬元,扣休息,除了一切開支,我盡可能的可以存到最低10萬元,你能保證你半年甚至一年的時間,可以每月為我定期存入10萬元?並且不發生關係?
    你想和我在一起,不單只是談談戀愛不發生關係這麼簡單的吧?
    退一步來說,我上班如果必要和客人發生關係,一次是10000元,就以你一個月來我這10次,也就是10萬元,你能保證 ,你一個月會願意花在我身上20萬元?
    並且會考慮我以後的生活?我之所以來這裡上班,可能在別人眼裡 ,我是貪暮虛榮,好吃懶做,想賺快錢,無法吃苦,但我不在乎別人怎麼看,我也是做了很大決定才來這裡上班,我希望以自己現有的資本在這裡上班2~3年,那麼我可以為家人買一間像樣的房子,會讓父母過上好一點的生活,身邊很多和我一樣的姐妹同事,覺得找一個大戶客人包起來,聰明的,二年也可能買得到房子,但是她們並不開心,而且並沒有表面看得那麼亮麗和容易,有些甚至是變得不如現在,我何必要委屈自己每天為別人而活?取悅別人?
    我既然踏入這一行,就更應該想到我要在自己設想的時間內,讓自己脫身,並且真正去做自己想要做的事,當然,你的條件足以讓很多女人願意放棄自我來做你的地下情人,但我深知自己,不夠有智慧和姿色能長時間把你的心和人留在我的身邊,和已婚男人戀愛,我玩不起,我不如自己上一天班,賺一天的錢來得踏實,不是嗎?
    職場須知 【酒店PT 】結論:職業不分貴賤,只要自己賺得心安理得,能明白自己人生的理想和目標,並且清楚知道自己的路該怎麼走,工作都是一樣辛苦的!
    有些人做著高尚的職業,骨子裡卻比不上酒店小姐對自身的要求,甚至昧著良心做壞事賺黑心錢,有目標有理想才是最重要的!

  65. 2020.07.02酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容酒店經紀老師@到底要做些什麼呢?
    我在酒店上班的日子一位專業的酒店經紀?在酒店什麼叫做專業的經紀人呢? 我的認定是:誠信與能力。專業的酒店經紀人要具備甚麼樣的條件呢?不敢來酒店上班-酒店打工的原因
    1、酒店小姐上班通常會取什麼名字?把現在市場、文化全部做了解後,針對女孩們的需求和尺度做最貼切的規劃。 挑選適合的店家類型(制服店、禮服店、便服店、鋼琴酒吧)、 適當的酒店上班時段
    2、酒店兼差不是一個複雜的工作環境?把酒店打工女孩們帶去理想的店後,讓店家和她說明環境/人事和福利並保障和店家小姐是一樣的。
    3、酒店小姐去酒店上班都一定要出場接s嗎?酒店應徵妹妹的外在包裝和酒店上班之後的生活問題。 衣服、髮型、化妝、住宿與交通安排。
    4、我梁小尊會不斷的觀察和了解女孩們對這間店的試應度和收入。 女孩們的上檯的情況,是否有賺到錢、是否習慣? 如有不習慣立即做處置。
    5、了解女孩們的酒店上班情形及給予照顧和保護。 酒店工作後的突發狀況、生病、臨時請假、休檔、下檔。
    6、酒店薪資的處理和罰款的了解。 除了將店家的票換成現金之外,也要注意上面的節數或金額有沒有正確。 或是莫名其妙的罰單,也要即時處理掉。
    7、做為小姐的發言人。 因酒店小姐長時間待在店裡的關係,有些問題她也不便多發言。 而經紀人就可以站在她的立場幫他發言,這樣酒店兼差小姐又不會得罪店家的人,也不會委屈到!
    8、酒店經紀給予經驗指導。 沒有人天生下來就會做酒店的! 有時因現場很忙,人手不足就會直接讓女孩們上戰場。 所以酒店經紀在公關上班前就會先教導新人, 公關的基本職責跟應對方法讓新人能夠在短時間內進入狀況。
    9、給予女孩們心理建設。 酒店工作公關的職業病就是越做會越空虛。 因為每天服務形形色色的客人,所須扮演的角色也因客人的不同而有改變。 因此常為了迎合壓抑自己的情緒,這時後酒店經紀就是公關抒發情緒的一個管道, 給予輔導、教育。 以下是我們梁曉尊專業酒店經紀公司的網站 https://www.wonderfulyou.com.tw/

  66. 2020.07.05酒店上班安全最重要酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容
    酒店經紀梁小尊又要開講啦酒店小姐上班通常會取什麼名字?!許多來找我梁曉尊面試應徵工作的求職者,在詢問工作相關資訊時,常遺漏了最重要的事情,就是在酒店上班有那些是必須要注意的地方。相信有許多人在網路或報紙上求職時酒店兼差不是一個複雜的工作環境?,常看到很多廣告內容都強調薪水有多少,卻忘了告訴想到酒店工作的各位,酒店這個環境有那些是要注意的,這裡我酒店經紀梁曉尊就提供一些相關安全資訊給大家。
    我在酒店上班的日子酒店經紀教妳選擇酒店工作內容與環境
    就梁小尊長期觀察不敢來酒店上班-酒店打工的原因酒店這個環境,只要酒店內部裝潢明亮看起來乾淨整潔,這樣的酒店工作內容幾乎都是十分單純,穿著小禮服或是便服的方式坐檯,工作內容都是陪客人喝酒、唱歌、聊天以及做些桌面服務(整理桌面,保持清潔)這一方面的基本互動。很多玩的比較瘋的酒店內部裝潢普遍昏暗、陳舊及髒亂且常會飄有異味。如果您希望的工作內容相較單純些的話,可依照上述的方式做一個初步判斷。
    酒店經紀梁曉尊教妳出場如何自保酒店小姐去酒店上班都一定要出場接s嗎?
    在我們這裡工作的公關面對出場問題有絕對選擇權。但單純出場陪客人去續攤或是約個小會是在所難免的,畢竟在酒店上班是要營造出與客人有如戀愛的感覺。當然公關都要先觀察客人在包廂與自已的互動,以及觀察客人酒後的行為,做為是否要跟客人出場的判斷。當然客人在詢問公關要不要出場的時候,公關必須詢問客人出場要去的地點,以及有無其他同行友人,最後要再與幹部回報與確認,如此才能大幅降低出場的危險。但難免有些客人說要出場的地點跟實際去的地點不同。例如:客人說要去吃消夜結果車子開到汽車旅館或是住家(私人場所),如果遇到這種狀況,在客人把車停靠在汽車旅館入口的時候,請直接當櫃檯小姐的面前先行下車,並直接回報店家行政與幹部,同時店家行政也會立即連絡酒店經紀人回報狀況,其餘的事情都交由公司處理即可。

  67. 2020.09.02不敢來酒店上班-酒店打工的原因最近梁曉尊應徵時, 酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容有些女孩們都會問到有沒有行政助理的職缺?
    這是在酒店業存在很久的應徵的騙人噱頭了, 我在酒店上班的日子其目的就是以高薪來引誘不知情的美眉上門應徵,應徵時再叫一位大姐姐或是阿姨之類的老女人面試,談話聊天的同時再混淆妳的價值觀,告訴妳脫衣陪酒是小事一件,他們會說只要有錢賺,犧牲是應該的!用這種釣魚的方式來引誘天真無邪的女孩們,加上美麗的話術做包裝,實在會讓沒有社會經驗的女性心動不已,於是踏上了一條黑暗的不歸路!!
    如果行政助理月薪有50000元,有誰要去當酒店小姐呢??
    梁曉尊說在酒店可以很有尊嚴的賺錢,妳不用出賣肉體也可以生存,不要想一步登天,月入三十萬要付出什麼代價妳知道嗎?
    酒店小姐不要去做特別交易,用公務員的心態來上班,月入十來萬不是難事,何苦去出賣色相呢?
    被警察抓到怎麼辦? 妳的經紀人能幫妳嗎? 他也因妳違法要避風頭!
    妳之前賺的錢夠妳打官司嗎? 妳在坐牢期間家裡的生計可以維持嗎?染上性病或愛滋病怎麼辦?
    很多事情的前因後果要想清楚!酒店應徵的廣告說的愈生動就要愈小心,小心糖衣的背後就是陷阱。
