Re: So what's on CNN and Fox today about the stimulus package? Rise above-I totally agree with you. I work for the company-handling their highest revenue customers. AT&T has been the worst major corp I have ever worked for. They tell us that we should be grateful to have a job. which I am, however that does not mean that I shouldn't be paid for the job that I do. there are people working there that haven't had a raise in 8 years, and there is no where to move up the career path ladder because once u do, u lose your union membership and get hit with crappy medical, no hourly pay, and mandatory overtime. I'm not afraid to go on strike as I have already been suffering so what's a little more suffering? We are used to choosing to either eat or put gas in the car. Or paying rent or being able to throw our kids a bday party. Many of my coworkers didn't even celebrate christmas and it's just sad. We are tired of impossible incentive programs, no pay raises, and now our health insurance costs are going to be 4x more what it costs us now by 2012, yet their wage increase table wouldn't even offset the increase.
so yes, ATT workers are grateful to have a job, yet ATT is not grateful to have us and there is never a guarantee that we will have our jobs in the next 4 years so I say-pay me what I deserve since they haven't cut a penny off the ceo's ridiculous salary, then they can share that with those of us that actually make sh*t happen there and do it right. over 120 billion in profits? yea, they can share some of that with the rest of us.
And there will never be any revolution as people nowadays are so easily scared and obedient. I like to call them "The American Sheeple"
George Washington and the rest of our forefathers are definitely turning in their graves-seeing Americans obey like good little doggies.... |
