Bitter
It's over! There is no job. It was pitiful,,,only 3 people on the phones at closing. The rest took their pto(paid time off) and either left early or didn't show up at all. There were no good-byes. Just a wave maybe.They even took my badge. My friends weren't there except one,,,David. He had kept me posted on the goings-on while I was off. We will keep in touch. One person out of 400! Not very good. But, many of my friends left for other jobs or were fired. Some went to home agent jobs I am bitter!!! Sometimes I wish I'd never taken the job. Yes, I loved the job. I had fun. But, the pressures of the job were strong. The company I worked for lied to me many times. First, about the pay. I was told I would get extra pay for the late shift, then was told the extra was for the last 3 hours of the shift. Second, I was told that after 6 months I'd be eligible for the good insurance. Then told I'd have to wait until the end of the year. I had to pay almost full price for drugs which took a lot of my money. I wasn't given the chance for the partial disability feature that would have paid 80% of my salary while I was off. When people saw the center downsizing, they were told the center wasn't closing. While we were downsizing, they were opening up a call center overseas. When you have to call your cell phone company or Microsoft for help and get a foreign sounding voice, think of me. My job went overseas because they will work cheaper. Understand them of you can, then think of talking to a person that English is not a second language. Think of me. I may be a Texan, but I speak purdy good English.

I\'m so sorry you\'re having a hard time of it Mike, and i wish i could give you a big bear hug to help you feel better. I know it sucks to lose a job, no matter what kind it is. I know you, though, and you are a survivor so i know you are already scouting around for something else to do. We\'re all lugging this thing called LIFE around with us, aren\'t we? Good to see you still up and about on here, we misses you. Take care of that knee too. Let me know what\'s happening with you, maybe i can offer some suggestions. Hugs and kisses, Deb :o)
Hang in there Mike. That is just awful news. Something good will come your way!

Hi Mike,
Don\'t get here very often. So sorry to hear this news. Pray that your health will improve so that you will be able to get another job.
You have no children to support so that is a good thing.
Things will work out. You may not be strong physically but I think you have a good mind and spirit.
Trust God he will work things for you.
