From my own personal experiences working in the hospitality industry specifically as a Front Desk Agent I can attest to the fact that these hospitality jobs don’t pay well. Its sad and mind boggling that with the millions of dollars that some of these establishments make each year that they pay their staff crumbs. Staff members normally work long hours with split shifts and holidays included. How do you expect Bermudians to live off of $350-$500 dollars a week in 2021? How do you expect to attract young Bermudians to this career? Bermuda’s hospitality industry should be booming with young Bermudians but its NOT because here are NO incentives and they don’t pay well. Make this career attractive and appealing for Bermuda’s youth to get involved in this career path. Parents aren’t sending their children abroad to University to take up Hospitality for them to come back home to make $350-$500 dollars a week at a hotel and have to work split shifts and holidays with almost no room for upward mobility within the company. And if you wanna make more money you’ll almost have to kill yourself at work. Its sad when I go to a hotel in Bermuda and don’t see a Bermudian in sight. Hopefully we can do better for our locals and get them more involved and interested in this career.
