I would not want to be on Hiltons PR team right now.... I mean YIKES! Companies like Hilton form partnerships with the government for a reason so it is a pretty terrible business decision to break that. It is wild that whoever sent this email put this stuff in writing....
The "Please pass on this info to your coworkers" part is just insane! Not to mention the whole "we have found information about immigration work connected to your name" thats a little sus to do as well especially when it comes from a U.S. government email.
This is in MN.
Let me ask the rhetorical question: is anything else happening in MN?
Well that why they are there lol because they are turning up the heat.
Exactly. So why would any fed, let alone Congressional staff, care about what some front office manager of a dump like Hampton Inn tells ChatGPT to put in an email?
Fuck them. Go to a real hotel. Should have done that in the first place.
Oh I don't really care I am more just shocked that whoever it was put this in writing and sent it to a government email address. Its the sheer stupidity that got me going are you kidding me....
It would be smarter to just cancel it without the taunt. Yes.
A lot of childcare. Like, lots.
I wish I had gotten into the childcare racket.... I could have totally converted it into BTC and retired by now....
They probably would have investigated you
Judging from memory of Cje's self-doxx, he's not Somali enough. My memory is awful though, so I may be wrong.
Lol I mean I wouldnt really call it self doxing but yeah I dont hid I live in DC and work for a Congressional Committee hahaha I def have said which one but there are enough people in DC plus I dont see someone coming after me
Yeah at my local community meeting the county police blatantly said he wasn’t going to help or support ICE.
The Feds are fighting an uphill battle but I understand I was going to do a post about how illegal immigration caused my good doctor friend to walk off his job at a hospital.
I recently watched my friend, a dedicated doctor, walk away from his job at a local hospital. Why? Overcrowded conditions, largely fueled by an influx of illegal immigrants seeking care. This isn’t just a number; it’s a crisis.
My friend poured his heart into his work, but every day became a battle against a never ending tide of patients. The emergency room was jam packed, and he struggled to give everyone the attention they needed. With each shift, he felt more and more powerless. The moment he lost a patient due to delays connected to overcrowding? That was the breaking point. He couldn’t bear to be part of a system that failed in such a fundamental way.
His resignation sent ripples through the hospital. Colleagues shared their frustrations, highlighting how this situation isn’t just about illegal immigration, it’s about real people suffering because our healthcare system is stretched to its limits. We need to wake up! Illegal immigration is adding pressure where it’s already bursting. Healthcare workers are dedicated, but when they can’t provide the proper care, it’s a disaster waiting to happen.
My friend’s decision was heartbreaking but necessary. It highlights how urgent reform is needed. We must invest in healthcare infrastructure and support our medical professionals to handle the growing number of patients. Let’s advocate for a system that works for everyone, addressing the challenges of illegal immigration alongside patient care. We deserve a healthcare system we can believe in before it collapses under pressure.
Yea my friend is an anesthesiologist and his hospital worked him and his group down to the bone. They only had 15 anesthesiologists in the group when the hospital had a workload for 23. to My friend was constantly working long hours taking 24 hour shifts.
With both the illegal immigrants and the Medicaid patients the group thought they were massively underpaid. The chairman of my friends group tried to negotiate with the hospital CEO for more money for the group of 15 doing the work of 23 but the hospital refused.
So not only is my friend walking out but the whole group is planning on walking out on the hospital.
But if you ask your friend whether they should expand the supply of doctors by making the pathway to medical school easier, he'd probably disagree.
It's not just about the doctors though they are only one slice of the issue. The critical shortage we have and are failing to address is the nursing/support staff shortage. When you dont have these people the doctors have to absorb some of the load as well as spread it out to other nurses.
The other critical issue is the 1997 change that froze the number of Medicare-funded residency slots effectively capping it so the US, even with schools full cant catch up. Universities and hospitals have and continued to rely on Medicare funding for residency training, reimbursing teaching hospitals for a portion of resident stipends and associated teaching costs. These schools and hospitals can easily put forth the investment to address the cap but have refused to do so. I mean when a doc is graduating with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt the least their tuition could go to is part of that.
I doubt it. He had a hard road to get where he is today.

> great, now make the hospital overcrowded by immigrants
> great, now everywhere you see "immi" put illegal in front of it

You fucking retards.
Regardless of its franchisees or not, this may be a get woke go broke moment
Well not just that but if the US government ends its discounted deals program with Hilton for others it would be a huge hit since the Federal Government is huge and tons of people use that discount when they have to travel for work!
Just lighting money on fire that they wont be able to make up for without doing general public sales and hoping it backfills.
True but also hasn’t government travel been radically cutback?
My lens only extends to a few economists. I assume most have seen agency travel mostly eliminated, though. That probably has been brutal for these companies.
Oh there has been considerably but given how huge it was even with the cut back it still a ton. Especially when you factor in things like ICE, DHS, FBI, etc. the law enforcement agencies didnt really get cut.
Cutback no.
Spending on DHS border patrol and ICE has exploded with huge hiring bonuses.
For such a smart group of people... some stackers remarkably don't know what is going on.
There was a net reduction of almost a quarter million federal workers and many agencies have imposed travel restrictions internally.
DHS and ICE are a small part of the federal workforce.
What a lot of folks don't know is that many of the chain hotels in smaller towns and suburbs are actually operated as a franchises versus chain sites. That means essentially thousands of independent operators in charge, generally running a business the way Hilton wants at the macro level, but at the micro level having a ton of variety in whom they do business with.
Yea, no way this is corporate owned....its some local owner who has a bee in the bonnet....its a very stupid move though..
Thats what I thought but I wasnt sure how Hilton was structured.... it would make sense with the use of the word "info" in the emails. Thats just not professional
Yep, it was a franchise. Time to walk the plank to preserve the company...
Hilton is a private hotel who can cancel anyone's stay... for any reason.
If you read the 'fine print' this is abundantly clear. If you think otherwise you are delusional
