Staffing is insane this year. Foreign students under the H2B plan have been cut way back this year and local resorts that use them are now competing for the few people who are applying for summer work.
Its also getting to be a bidding war for even entry level jobs. Seasonal business' can usually afford to pay a little more because they don't need to carry people through the winter and some of them are recruiting from year round operators.
Luckily we have a great year round crew at the VK but are not getting seasonal applications so we had to take some staff from the Red Hill Dari.
I didn't think we'd even get open this year but may try for a mid June opening although we only have staff to serve 4 days....thursday/sunday.
Anyway, that's the plan. Nobody is happy but we'll do our best and hopefully, be back to normal next year.
