Why does hotel maintenance pay suck so bad? I've done residential, medical and figured I'd try out hotel as I figured it'd be easier than the work pace I had before. Turns out it's busy as fuck and the pay sucks. Took a hefty pay cut going from a maintenance director position to a chief engineer at a hotel thinking it'd be worth it to not be as busy all the time, after hours calls etc. Think I'm going to go back to medical maintenance.

I'm in the US, I have to tip the time clock in the morning. I went from 29 an hour to 23 thinking it'd be worth it just to have an easier job as I have other sources of income

Because that job is a race to the bottom. You fucked up. Never take pay cuts, stack money for future retirement since working life is short but life usually long. Money is freedom.

Because I get my income from rental properties we own and a couple of businesses, this is just extra. Figured it ve a lot easier, not constantly getting called at home etc

Clearly anyone who's a hotel handyman and calls himself an engineer in anyway is retarded. Your pay reflects your status

Oof. Not enough for the shit hours and shitty people, much better running maintenance in a government institution or even a condo. Hotel patrons suck.

If you take a pay cut and then can be on your phone all day, it's usually worth it
