Pauls work is stupid!

So he just called and said they got a new boss. They will not be getting paid hourly anymore but by the job (or something like that...I didn't understand lol) and they will be getting paid significantly less. AND they are not allowed to take ANY vacations this summer!!!! A$$HOLES!!!!!

So Jen, sorry babe, we won't be making it down this summer and we were supposed to be going to Nashville for CMA fest and then to birmingham for my friends wedding and idk if that is gonna happen! I guess we could leave friday night and drive to birmingham for the wedding and come back sunday. This is crap...we were depending a lot on his income to pay for a lot of the wedding!! Then he asked, well am I going to be able to take off two weeks for my wedding next year and they were like uh, idk, you'll have to get that approved with AT&T....I will punch AT&T in their face!!

Re: Pauls work is stupid!

  • GRRR THAT REALLY SUCKS! What kind of work does he do? Maybe he can find something else! :( I'll punch them in the face for you too!!
  • He is a design engineer. He works at AT&T but he is contracted out so he isn't technically an AT&T employee. He is designing stuff (I don't really understand it) for their new UVERSE service...some of yall may have it but it will be new in our area
  • That is ridiculous! I would be super pissed too!

  • That's outrageous.  Change my pay.. fine.. that sucks, but I could probably deal with it, but take away my right to a vacation and I'd be looking for a new job.  I'm sorry, Britt.

    Changing the pay is one thing, but I would be super pissed if they said sorry you can't take the vacation you planned this summer. I'm sorry Britt that really sucks :(

  • That's completely stupid!!

    I wish you guys lived closer- I could maybe help with a new job from the engineering perspective.  I can't believe they're restricting vacation like that!!!  And a year in advance you should be able to tell them you need vacation and get it.  That sucks...

     

  • Oh what a bummer Britt, I'm so sorry that he's going thru this!!

  • That is crap.  Sounds like the new boss is on a total power trip.  I'm sorry Britt.  That really sucks.
  • Thanks ladies!!! He said he is gonna start looking for a new job tonight! Hopefully he will find one with some benefits! Bc he is a contractor he has ZERO benefits so hopefully this is a blessing in disguise!
