Atlantis Bahamas Lays Off 800 Workers

Kerzner International announced yesterday that it was forced to layoff 800 employees due to low occupancy rates spawned by a poor global economy.

Serves them right, been there a few times beautiful resort but the workers are the nastiest people I ever come across. They act like they are doing me a favor being there. When it's me spending my hard earned money keeping them employed. Maybe next time I go there when I ask a question they won't look at me like I have 10 heads.

I'd like to get an experience in the Atlantis Bahamas. Does anyone know if there will be open positions by January 2009 when the good season start again?
Thank you.

Your response to the posting of the article shows what an idiot you are. Maybe they look at you as though you have ten heads because you act or behave that way. Job loss of never a good thing for anyone, especially in the economic climate. I have visited the resort numerous times (17 in total) and it has been an amazing experience for me and my family on each visit. I notice they are no nonsense individuals, they bend over backwards to meet your needs until you behave like a spoiled brat. And that is what I am ashame to say we Americans have become "spoiled brats." Go to the Holiday Inn next time! It seems to be much more of your type of hotel. Leave the Atlantis for real travelers.
