My Name is Nareerat Van Gelder, My Nationality from Thailand with My Experience and My Bachelor Degree Major Hotel Management & Tourism from Bangkok University . I been employee with this company since May 14, 2007 in position Dining Room Attendant and I don't mind to do on that position because I love to have experience and I believe in the future I can move to step up to do something to learn more thing because this company are open for all employee to have opportunity prove them self, but it's not what I for Asian like me . After I been work so many year and I think it's my time and long enough for me to step up and I spoke with my manager her name is Alex Bolspribge in the beginning she let me had training at the cafe of the hotel but just one day a week all together 2 weeks so two days and I have to return back to the same position because they don't have enough dining room attendant employee to help in the restaurant and after then I was asked her again but I got denied and that's is not only first time I had been asked so many times because I had been here so many years with last time on December 2013 I spoke with Jonathan Manager about I would like to be server I been here long enough and I would like to step up to get more experience but he said My English not good enough and then I said why don't you just try and give training because have to get training but he still doesn't want me to step up and still kept me in dinning room attendant position, then I'm feel very disappoint because I love this company, I was believe this company is the big school and always offer the good opportunity and with this country is the best country to give the best and chance for all people from all around the world to live in this country and I'm a citizen of this country and I'm proud to American citizen and proud to work with Marriott but just I don't have luck because I'm from Asia didn't born in this country and my accent it's not like native speaker that's why I can not step up and got denied from Manager who was born in this country and made me feel this is not fair and not right to not let employee to step up and kept me in the bottom of the Department 5 years even last time on Febuary 17, 2014 I was spoke with The Manager Alex Bolspribge about I'm feel unhappy and very disappoint and with rate I got with my Experience it's less with minimum rate, When hired $7.00/ Hours Current pay rate $8.50 / hours started from 01/2014 and I'm a hard worker never have warning, never have problem, my performance every year after review, I always been excellent and professional never let anybody disappoint even always made the guest happy with the best service and got the best memories from Hotel and Restaurant and I always been help others department everything when they need me help ..and Alex asked me what my major from University, I said hotel management and tourism and she still said she understand I would like to do what I study for ...I don't know what to say anymore just told her I decided to gave notice is the best way because I knew I will not have chance from here that's for sure ...and the reason I complaint because I'm very disappointed about not fair because I'm not native speaker, I'm from Asia and doesn't matter how good I am ..I will never ever step up and can see my future here .I'm bad luck and I still have to find others jobs to support my family and my kids and make sure they have food and enough money to pay all my bill and with out insurance we will get hard time especially my kids . Thank you very much for reading my complaint .
