For those that have been to TTR recently, which Playmakers from the grand opening are still around? Just saw that Noelia is leaving, and I might be a little sad this morning!
I think I saw in another thread that the only ones still remaining from opening were Noelia, Pedro (my wife rejoices), and Laura. However, as you said, Noelia is on her final two weeks and I believe I saw Steve (sadly) saying Laura may not be long for the job either. Definitely kind of sad because I loved the playmakers when I was there, but at the same time I'm confident the new ones being added are going to fit right in.
The turnover was to be expected though I think. How many of them really knew what they were getting into haha. We are a different breed! I didn't think the turnover would be this high this fast, but they will replace them and the show will go on.
I agree...I can’t imagine working the hours they work and being so “on” all the time day after day. It would definitely be a fun job, but one I can’t imagine doing for a long period of time. I know they will hire great staff to fill the empty spots as they come up, but I will definitley miss the crew that was there in October.
The problem with the playmakers is that most of them are not permanent Mexican residents and are only on 3 or 6 month visas and have to leave at that time. But we are here now and they all are extremely friendly and socialize with all the guests and seem to be more of them then pre-reno.
Playmakers are interesting. They aren't going to make or break you trip, but they can an intricate part of it. Sometimes whatever their "shtick" is can get on your nerves (JJ, for me), or you just don't click with them. Others like Noelle give the place great energy, and just make the place even better. We don't interact with them much, but can tell a difference in the atmosphere when they aren't there doing their thing. Noelle will certainly be missed however. She was loved by everyone.
