IndyGuy4KI Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 You would think a company that has a hard enough time getting employees would be bending over backwards to help themselves get employees not make it harder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly. Not to mention when the kids go back to school, the adult workforce is needed that much more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DispatchMaster Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 The issue is that the park didn't provide alternate low-cost housing for the 40-something year old, but the park's intent was good, in that they weren't keen on the idea of housing 40-somethings alongside 18 year old kids.

Kenban Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I think this policy was put in place before the issues of sexual assault in the dorms made the news, but I always associated the two issues with each other. I remember when the stories about Cedar Point covering up cases of rape that there were also stories about young women not being comfortable due to creepy old men staying in the dorms. I have no idea the ages of anyone involved in any incidents that occurred in the dorms, so I am not sure if this has any basis in reality beyond stories that were reported by news organizations which might have been reporting anything possibly related or trying to steer the public’s opinion. I believe this policy was implemented in 2021 so maybe it was COVID related. The only older individual I have known who stayed in the dorms only worked at the park weekends during Halloween, and only stayed I think Friday and Saturday nights. I am curious how many people were affected by this policy. Would separating dorm buildings by age ranges be legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSkyFoxx Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 I definitely agree that 18 year olds shouldn't be housed with grown adults, however, there still could have been a solution to keep things separate but equal. Maybe offer a housing stipend in the local hotels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeastFarmer Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 When I was a college student, I spent a year in Yellowstone National Park working for a lodging concessionaire. On site dorms. We had college students, retired people, middle aged and the whole lot living in harmony. I'll never forget Granny Betty and Uncle Frank. Long live Wapiti and Tatonka dorms!
