It seems like concessionaires and operators are increasingly abdicating their responsibility. I was at another site in CA that was so poorly managed the employee was trash talking management (for verbally and even physically assaulting the employees among other failures). The company got a fixed amount of money from the government for things like upkeep so they seemed to think it was in their best interest to spend as little as possible on upkeep to maximize profit. Unfortunately this was to the detriment of everyone staying at the site as the host burdens were so onerous for so little pay that the hosts kept bailing. And maintenance and janitorial was severely understaffed.
- hungmung 1y agoThere's a similar situation in Crater Lake National Park, possibly managed by the same people (they manage hospitality at quite a few NP's): https://www.opb.org/article/2024/02/18/crater-lake-hospitality-contract-termination-aramark/ https://www.opb.org/article/2024/02/18/crater-lake-hospitali... https://www.opb.org/article/2024/02/23/national-parks-service-to-end-contract-with-company-managing-crater-lake-facilities/ https://www.opb.org/article/2024/02/23/national-parks-servic... They got terminated due to numerous fuel leaks, consistent food safety issues and a significant number of visitor complaints. Employee living conditions were described as filthy and disgusting. And they manage a bunch of parks, including Yosemite, Grand Canyon and Olympic NP's.
