Hi, I'm an employee of AT&T and the following is my opinion.
I'm taking my "hour-long" lunch as I write this. It's Saturday afternoon and I've been scheduled to work the weekend, again. The full one, Sunday too! It seems to be deja vu every other weekend, because I'm scheduled to work every other weekend. of course, in this case it's more of a reality than a feeling, but I do feel it!
Yes, I've complained about it. Of course I get just as much satisfaction of talking to the wall and just about as much interest. My supervisor says that he has "emailed" the scheduling group and their responses have been; the computer did it, it was just his turn, it will all average out in the long run, and the most recent, we're investigating it.
It boggles my mind how a multi-Billion dollar company like AT&T, can't keep a simple schedule straight. It ALMOST makes me think that my schedule is being purposefully tampered with. Persecution can take many forms and be almost impossible to prove in today's digital world. I've written before how "numbers" can be manipulated without anyone knowing, in order to target an individual.
IF it were to be a form of harassment or persecution, I'd really like to know which of my characteristics I was being punished for. Is it just that I enjoy going to church on Sunday and worshiping the Creator of the universe? Is is possibly my stand against the LGBT mafia or the abortion rights crowd? My beliefs aren't a secret. The Bible is clear which side is correct and that's where I am. For the record, I'm also against murderers and gluttons, but they don't normally evangelize others to take part in their sins.
Is it the fact that I'm non-union due to not being represented properly? You certainly don't believe I would throw away money in such a frivolous manner. I do apologize for being a dues paying member of CWA for nearly thirty years. Or, is it possible they just want the "old guy" to go away? They may think if I'm aggravated enough, I'll retire.
Well, I'm not ready to declare that I'm being discriminated against, the proof just isn't there. It looks like it, but looks can be deceiving. It might be that the folks who send out the schedules don't ever read their emails sent from supervisors. It could be their computer program is prone to make errors on a regular basis. You know how funny some computers are about throwing in errors repeatedly, just for laughs. Maybe the system was hacked by Chinese loyalists of China Bell, trying to unravel our families weekend activities, so we'll continue to be stressed and stay in turmoil.
Maybe so, who knows? Gosh, I didn't even get into aliens from space, climate change, Hillary's email server, or the Grinch. The possibilities are endless, but the real reason is probably very simple. It was the Grinch, wasn't it?
Hey, I'd just like to have a few more weekends with "OFF" on the schedule. Doesn't seem like too much to ask...
