| The Poor Employees Cry me a river. The next story will be about how Frontier is not allowing any overtime. Yeah it is a lot of hours, but the employees were being well compensated. A short term effort to get the network up to the required level.
Before the pro-worker folks preach about the hours, think about a salaried employees that had to do the hours without any extra pay or benefits. |

1 edit | No,you cry me a river....
I took the union blue collar job with the overtime rate in writing and the work rules.....hung around for 24 years now and have 6 more till I retire.
I've turned down those prestigious managment jobs cause when I pull a 70 hour week and put my homelife on hold Ma Bell pays dearly for it....I'm talking creditcard payoff time.
I'll bring home more this year (and have most years) then my bosses boss. When my phone rings at 2am I go get the Cabellas cataloge out and pick a new toy.
I got this job by applying and passing an entrance test.it was that simple.I kept this job by showing up everyday and doing the job that was expected of me.If that meant a 70 hour week,well I cried all the way to the bank on payday and got the job done.
And the last 4 times they offered me a managment position I told them I couldn't afford the paycut.
Now, the next time bad weather hits and your sitting in your house counting your blessings and thanking whatever you pray too that the house is still standing and everyones home and safe ,look out your window because my wife and kids said goodbye to me an hour ago and instead of being home and comforting them and counting my blessings My overpaid union arse is out in my company supplied truck RESTORING YOUR SERVICE "without reasonable accomodations."
Unions will become obsolete when companys decide to treat the employees with respect and share the profits INSTEAD of paying bloated executive compensation packages and outsourceing all of the work
Untill them theres a real need for it....Especially in the telecomm industry because the top 3 are the greediest money gurbbing-est companies in the country. If they had their choice the top 10 would get double the pay packages off the sweat from MY BROW and I'd be busting my arse for pennies instead of a living wage.
Yeah,maybe someone would take the job for less....But after they figured out what my job really is they'd go find something easier.
Sour Grapes dont cut it with me either...
