New Profession!!!!!!!!
So the other day I got a phone call from my boss at UPS. She said that she just found out that all of our administrative assistants had been laid off effective that day - 12/27/2005. What a great Christmas present. Now this I have to admit made me furious. Not only were we already under staffed by one or two people in our HR department which made me already have to work long hours without compensation to get the jobs done, but they took two assistants away from us with this decision. We are now a 2 person department that is running a department that really needs 5 or 6 people. The two of us are personally responsible for at least 650 people and their potential problems that work for UPS. Plus it is our responsibility to staff the building. So we have to meet an extra 30 - 40 people per week to see if they are qualified to work for UPS. To top it all off... my boss then throws in at the end of the conversation the fact that she was told we can not work over our allowed hours to get the work done that needs to be done. How ridiculous. When they start asking me why I am unable to complete my assignments on time then I will personally look at them and say. "It is your fault. You give me these assignments.. you take away my help... then you won't allow me to work overtime. You have tied my hands behind my back. It is your fault I am unable to do my job in the allowed time."
They laid off the assistants because they claim our budget was cut because we have no money... Come on Now!!!!
Let me give you a brief synopsis of UPS profit earnings for a couple of recent quarters.
1st Quarter 2005 - $882 Million net income
2nd Quarter 2005 - $986 Million net income
3rd Quarter 2005 - $953 Million net income
4th Quarter 2005 - Not reported yet.... but it will be high because they laid off our workers.
Okay now... please tell me if some of the extra millions per quarter of net profit UPS make can't be used to pay 2 workers that make $11.00 an hour with no additional benefits because they work out of a temporary agency.
Do you see my frustrations?
Needless to say I am looking for a new profession. Anybody have a part time job for me? I have Delicate Fade, Inc. full time which is fine, but I still would need some additional benefits (medical, pay for school, etc.) to get by in life.

That was good stuff. I can't believe they did that to you either. It sounds like the only solution is to show them you can't get it done, but I would be scared at how they respond to it. If you have detailed accounts of how you spend your days then you could be able to fight them if they choose to replace you rather than supplement you. The second option would be to just stab them in back of the face!!
oh, i almost forgot...don't wait for the 4GB nano. They aren't coming!!
Come out to Cali and be the prez of disney land. I got a spare room to rent too, HA!
