If people come to live and work in our lovely country because the economic conditions here are better than their own country - they will leave just as soon as those economic conditions become unfavourable.
It's a fact of life. According to the BBC news this morning, it has come to pass. The eastern Europeans are going home. Not all of them, but enough of them for our industry to start wondering where the next employees are going to come from.
As usual, it is everybody else's fault. "The government needs to do this", "somebody else needs to do that...". The familiar cries of an industry which generally made hay while the sun shone and failed (again) to keep any of it back for the lean times.
Recruiting into the hotel industry is difficult. Incoming migrant workers made it easy for hoteliers throughout Scotland over the past few years.
Where will the next batch of cannon... pardon me, "employees" come from? And will the industry learn how to train, motivate and develop them this time?
