Well sometimes any one can be a real jerk! Maybe you find pride in editing my statement as you did...but what I stated is the truth, and no matter what you say or how you say it, it will not change the real truth. Never judge anyone unless you have walked in their shoes so to speak. OR let the first one throw the stones who is without sin. If we put your life under a mircoscope would you come out so pure. Sounds like someone is envious and jealous and gets off on tearing people down to make themselves feel like a real man. WRONG AND that sir is down right sad.
Hey but what the heck, have a great and safe day anyway. :smilie_132:
--------------------------------------------
It was a joke! Man you sure get worked up talking about stone throwing and whatnot. If you put my life under a microscope you would find that I am not the purest person in existence, and I would never claim to be as such.
I will judge whomever I please, I worked that dock right next to the Vaderpol kids! I saw the way Ed and David look at us out there! You are a fool to assume you know these people, I could care less about sins and stones, envy, jealousy, spend a little less time in you bible and more time paying attention to the world around you. You sound just like the people you are trying to defend, lubing us up with the religious KY jelly before the real fun begins.
To me if you are not a friend of labor you are dirt. Am I jealous? Sure, who wouldn't want to be handed millions of dollars? I like to think that I attack opinions not people and I will feel good about it if it has a positive effect for the employees of this company in the form of working conditions, raises and benefits. I don't want the "feel sorry for the Vanderpol's" campaign to work and consequently lead to a poor contract.
So if I seem bitter and negative it is because I am. I feel betrayed because I once bought into their bs and I am here to keep someone like me from hanging on as long as I did. I do it for prospective employees to that may come here for advise. I was harassed by one of their poor excuses for a manager. Because now I know, my new job is a thousand times better than my OHFL job an I am so thankful that I don't work for these selfish mother%$#@'s anymore. I will say what I want, I have earned the right to.
I really am amazed that they have any employees as well.
You seem to be religious, lets talk about compassion, if someone calls in sick at Oak Harbor they don't get payed, even though they are allotted sick days. They are harassed; "What's wrong with you?" "Are you sure you can't make it in?" "We really need you today" And then they don't get payed until their third day off at which point the company requires a Doctors note everyone knows that a Dr. will give anyone a not but they require it so they can punish you financially for using pay that is has been bargained for you anyway. After you get done with this circus you will probably be disciplined for attendance.
Is that a amicable way to treat people? Sometimes people just need a day off maybe your not medically sick, but you may be mentally sick if you have banked sick pay they shouldn't treat you like that, have some compassion for your employees.
And thats just one of the many things.
