Hyatt suddenly lays off housekeepers

Some of the staff we all love at the Hyatt were suddenly laid off last month -- after being asked to train their replacements:

Housekeepers lose Hyatt jobs to outsourcing

When the housekeepers at the three Hyatt hotels in the Boston area were asked to train some new workers, they said they were told the trainees would be filling in during vacations.

On Aug. 31, staffers learned the full story: None of them would be making the beds and cleaning the showers any longer. All of them were losing their jobs. The trainees, it turns out, were employees of a Georgia company, Hospitality Staffing Solutions, who were replacing them that day.

Oh no! O:( I will surely miss the old ones, if this doesn't get turned 'round somehow. It was neat to see them go from kind of wild-eyed about the con costumes to leaning over the balconies in what seemed more interested amusement.

Is there anything we can do to express our dismay to the company?

Not going to happen.
