A Two Weeks of Hell...I Don't Know What's Next? But I know He is with Me Always!

Wednesday October 22, 2008

The Supervisor Cris Norton failed to give my last 10 minute break and I even informed Michael Connors, the Manager at that moment before I get off from work. And even noted this to my time card.

Thursday October 23, 2008

Pam Castanon pulled me out on System 4 and had more less 2 hour closed door meeting with them on the third floor ( Michael C., Lamont M., Pam C., & the girl from HR ( I guess she is a secretary). To my surprised because I disagree with them with a lot of charges & accusations against me, again they just kicked me out in the premises & even escorted by Pam C. up to the Noth Dock going to the parking lot. This not the first time that they give me an indefinte suspension without pay since we tried to have & form the union in the workplace.

I draft a letter of complaint to Human Resources & dropped it Monday November 03, 2008 at the National City Post Office 16th street via registered mail

Thursday November 06, 2008

Michael Connors leave a message a message on my answering machine saying his name, his nos., & call him back! I always checked my voicemail everynight!

Friday November 07, 2008

I called Michael at 1:30PM but instead of telling me his message he hanged me up & told me to call him back again at 2:00PM.

So this time I rather bring my daughter to the eye-care clinic.

Because I don't have trust in them I decided to go to Grace place ( she's my co-worker & neighbor) & decided that I better call him (Michael) with a witness like Grace & luckily Emily Portes, her closed-friend & also our co-worker was also there.

During our conversation we noticed that they were on the speaker phone, Michael & Lamont. To my surprised instead of telling me " I am back to work or not; they keep on blaming me & trying to put words into my mouth, like Michael saying that because I didn't call him right away I am at "No Show" status on Friday November 07, 2008 and I am scheduled to work. Well, in fact I've got an answering machine & he can leave a message that I am back & scheduled to work that Friday. He even told me that "It seems that I don't want to go back to work anymore!" & I replied "I didn't say that you said that!" It is good this time Grace & Emily was there & heard everything. And Grace wrote down on a piece of paper something like asked them " Am I going back to work tomorrow or not?" and Michael got no choice and end up telling me I am back to work at 7:00AM.

Saturday November 08, 2008

Before I worked we had a meeting & give me something to read. All that are written there are all the back issues & charges against me, putting all the blame on me & my attitude, it is the same pattern for them it is their normal procedure. But they never mention & focus on the real issue.The fact that they violated my 10minute break that day ( and this is not only the first time) and I even informed Michael Connors about this he was pissed-off & always saying & adressing me "I am a jerked!" this is how he adrresed me everytime we have a disagreement.
Also today Pam uppal told me that I am up on the mark-up schedule to work every week. And also Ernie told me that I am also on the marked up on the job-assignment everyday. So it is the same pattern.

Sunday November 09, 2008

I received all the the digital copies & updated information via email from USPS about my letter of complaint. That they have accepted, received & signed my letter of complaint via registered mail.

*Noontime, after giving mg daughter Anna to work. I met a bum named "Carlo o Carlos" in Pinoy Fiesta, a Filipino restaurant in National City...he is an intelligent Filipino bum...he even mentioned the name "Carlos Bulosan" that is why he caught my attention...I am really sorry that he is an NPA ( No Permanent Address) we had a long shared experienced in life but for a short talked (about 2 1/2 hours) And when I left I saw he got a teary sad eyes...he is a real genius & has a strong faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ
