Thread: HAL's Chief Housekeeper Celebrates 20 Years

Tetet Prihatnoko recently celebrated 20 years at Holland America Line. Hotel Manager Mark Pells surprised Tetet with a festive dinner in his honor. Tetet is very much admired not only for his hard work but for his for his big smile and “can do” mantra. Tetet’s first position in housekeeping 20 years ago was an “ashtrayman” on the ss Rotterdam. He was responsible for cleaning all 150 ashtrays around the ship.

I never knew they had "ashtraymen"! You learn something new every day!

Kudoes to him and to HAL for recognising a good employee.

Twenty years ago that would have been a FULL time job!!

Have never met the man -- but it is wonderful that HAL recognized him!!

Glad to hear that they celebrated his anniversary.
