I am a manager at a family amusement facility. We have people of all ages that work for us. One particular employee is let’s say “not all together there”. She has worked for us for about a year(I would like to say, I didn’t hire her). One afternoon while working our 3 story soft play structure she screams at the top of her lungs” Everybody out, he’s got a knife”. As most of the guests and their children exited it was discovered that a small boy at the top of the play structure had a small 1 inch pocket knife cutting through the netting. This in it’s self is not so unusual except that the child was not trying to hurt anyone, just trying to escape. This same employee was involved in 3 car accidents in one week, one totaling her car. It was just learned that she hit a pedestrian at school. Have you ever seen the movie the cable guy…we are living it! We also do Birthday parties in which groups of kids play in our structure. She will place kids in “time out” for not listening to her. One afternoon we discovered 12 9 year old boys in “time out” behind a small wall about the size of a hall closet. She makes my job quite interesting at times but I wonder if we were not kind enough to hire her where would she work? Not a driving job! I hope.
