Yesterday, in the span of 10 minutes, a total of 6 employees were fired from the company. The funny thing is that three of the people fired had been with the company several years. Also, another thing I noticed is that not only did they hit the three major ethnic groups and sexual orientation groups that dominate the company (blacks, whites, Hispanics and gays). They also hit the three major departments that form the call center (Quality Assurance, Communication Specialists and Incident Reporting). My only conclusion to this is that they did not want anybody yelling discrimination.

QA's (both of them had been with the company for years)
  • Sarah (white)
  • Kendall (gay)
    Communications Specialist
  • Opal (black)
  • Latressa (black) (had years with the company)
  • Juan (Hispanic) ("chilango", my buddy!!!)
    Incident Reporting
  • Milton (white)

    Nobody is entire sure why they were fired, but obviously a lot of half-assed speculations fly around. I don't want to say much regarding this in my blog cuz Cindy, one of my co-workers told me that someone in the call center did a search of a certain somebody in the company (the search was not about me). But, since I had mentioned that certain somebody in my blog in a non to flattering way in the past... guess who's little ol' blog showed up in the search engine returns? Have I just the greatest luck or what? Cindy told me not to worry about cuz the people who did the search would not sell me out like that but in case someone on that person's side decided to do the search, I'm in big shit... lol. Anyway, obviously we're all scared but... ummm... someone... Scough...Tcough..Ecough.....Vcough.... cough, cough... cough.... talked me today and calmed me down. hehehehehehehehe.....

    Also, today Gail, one of the supervisors, put me on the Triage program. Now, the Triage program, how can I put this?..... KICKS FUCKING ASS!!!!. Instead of taking the call and listening to the bullshit petty reports and then typing them and doing all that shit... all I do is greet the caller, ask them if it's a new report or a follow up to their original report... then I transfer the call.... heheh...that's it... OH, it was soooooooo sweet. Unfortunately it only lasted three hours.

    [Update on the note system.] Apparently Tino will not take over the message system but HaloScan will. HaloScan was the service I almost used before I decided to go with BlogSpeak cuz it was more user friendly and my HTML skills are very crude. Hopefully the service will as userfriendly with HaloScan.

    I asked for the day off tomorrow, no particular reason, just didn't want to come in. The funny thing is that this is the second time me, Serg and Gene have all asked for a Friday off without realizing the other have. So, we're gonna drink a little vino tonight and be merry. I wanna see if Juan and James want to hang out tonight. Me, Juan and James are going out tomorrow to a strip joint to do a little research... lol. (If you don't know what I'm talking about read down two or three posts).

    Well, I guess that's all.... bye
