So I work for this hotel. I live on site as an on call employee. Over the last few months I’ve kind of become so important to the hotel that I can kind of do what I want within reason.

Last week I found a hidden room. I think it used to be a laundry room at one point, but the entrance was quite literally sealed off with a piece of plywood and hidden behind a large shelf. I work alone, so I waited til after midnight and moved the shelf and plywood and went in with a flashlight. That’s where I found 8-10 double 210v outlets. Grabbed a multimeter from the maintenance office and confirmed all plugs are still live.

So here’s my question. How many miners do you think I could realistically get away with powering without a noticeable power bill increase. It’s summer here now, and every room has just started running their AC units. The vacancy of the hotel ebbs and flows between 20 rooms sold, to 100 rooms sold on any given day or night. In my eyes it wouldn’t be TOO noticeable if I plugged 2-3 miners in right??

Noise isn’t an issue because this room isn’t surrounded by guest rooms, and shares a wall with the outside of the building. It’s also in an area inaccessible to staff. I’m not really gonna do this. But god dang if I can’t stop thinking about it.

Before anyone asks. I am the oldest employee here. My manager was just flown in last week and he has no idea how to even use the front desk software, and can’t be bugged to get even come into work for more than an hour a day. We also fired our maintenance man, so no one to worry about there. What do yall think? Bad or really bad idea?

Edit: So I just did some napkin math. A hotel ac/heating unit can use between 2500-5000w. A high end hydro miner would run 5500w max. This is legit just like us booking an extra 5 rooms a night for perpetuity right?? This is starting to seem like a way better idea.

Edit edit: I’m sorry yall, i have no plans of doing this. I just had a really rough shift and one or three more beers than usual and thought this would be a funny post. If you check out my post history you’ll see I just like to get drunk and have fun. While there may or may not be a hidden laundry room, I’m not gonna actually do this. I’m way too appreciative of the opportunities this job has presented me lately and I really like to blend reality into something that makes people laugh. Thanks for attending my Ted talk

So I started a new job two months ago. Working front desk for this hotel. We had big equity buy out our entire hotel chain, fire the entire crew and then they hired us!! For the last 3 pay periods we ALL get paid Wednesday at 11am-12noon for our Friday payday. For some reason we all have chime 😂

Well today none of us got paid. All of us in a group chat asking if anyone got paid. Six hours past pay time we finally ask our boss, “hey was there any payroll issues this week? None of us have gotten paid.”

Our manager replies “payday isn’t until Friday, no one should be worried about not getting paid until Saturday at the latest.”

😳😳😳😳

Long story short after a few more hours of back and forth, she didn’t submit payroll until a day later. Chime is boss, our bosses, not so boss…..
