They say they want to open the world back up, but this might go on until 2021.

I don’t have any hope because there’s nothing good or positive on the news. I’m friends with a housekeeper she’s out of work, same as me, and she’s stressed because she feels like there will be even more demands on her job when she gets back. All those people touching different machines, transferring money? I mean, I wouldn’t go if I didn’t have to. We won’t be as busy because won’t be rushing back. When I finally do get back to the casino, I expect my job will feel very different.

So while I'm confident that I will have a job because of my seniority and union, I'm worried about other workers. But we’re going back and forth on insurance and pay and they’re not budging. The company has been very transparent, sending messages and emails, and keeping us informed. They haven’t explained the difference, but it’s probably the number of people. When Katrina hit, we got paid up to six months this time, the company only paid us for two weeks. They just closed down until after the storm. So come home to Magnolia House and let us raise your expectations about fine dining on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.I was working at the same casino during Hurricane Katrina and they didn’t have layoffs. Designed around the concept of a Southern home, you’ll have the choice to dine in any room including the wine cellar or living room. Magnolia House also breaks the mold with an inviting atmosphere and guaranteeing you an experience you won’t find anywhere else. After your main course, top it off by rewarding your sweet tooth in a beignet with chicory crème Brûlée, sweet potato cheesecake or any of our other mouthwatering desserts. Savor our famous surf and turf or indulge in a tender, juicy filet mignon- here, heaven is served by the ounce. A refreshing change from the typical casino dining experience, Magnolia House has a vast array of dishes rich in Southern flavors that feature the best USDA beef and freshest local seafood from the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
