Being a contractor sucks - outsource help desk vendors suck even worse.
We get more and more and more duties & responsibilities piled upon us, we get ridiculous deadlines piled on us, but day after day we just sit here because we're told that we're lucky to have jobs at all.
And companies are getting away with this crap. The gap between management and the workers has widened way too much. Our "manager" is so out of touch with what actually happens here it's amazing he can remember our names.

HAH! That will teach people from abusing us poor tech support slaves. Finally. This could put an end to all of the people that call us and scream bloody murder & death threats about us because we explain that printer problems are outside of the ISP's scope of support.
Be nice to us - we could send Motherfuckin' Guido after you!:P

Have you seen the pathetic canned replies that they send back? Write to a rep. See what happens. Watch the generic reply and then watch them do the opposite in many cases.
"Representitives" seem to like voting where the big money tells them to vote.
Get out in public and make a big stink about things. Organize groups. Fly a banner at the state capitol building. Bug media outlets. Send a few faxes to the rep if you feel that contacting them will do any good. But above all, vote for someone that might actually listen to *YOU* instead of Hollywood or the Almighty Dollar.

This is inaccurate. ". AT&T is famous for cutting off promotional night and weekend minutes when a contract expires without telling the customer, which generally leads to one multi-hundred dollar bill per customer."
Wrong. People simply don't read their bill. That's all there is to it. The promotion expiration date is clearly stated on the 3 invoices prior to the promotion expiration date. When people sign agreements, they're made aware of the promotion end dates. Some 3rd party resellers screw this up and don't tell people, but they're not supposed to. When I worked for AT&T, we would simply re-rate the invoice for customers that were unaware of expiring promotions, ensuring that they were not billed for airtime that they should have had. We also educated them to READ THE BILL and be aware of promotion expiration dates.
Contract companies treat employees like crap. Management is more worried about sticking people with stupid dress code policies than doing anything to ensure that the employees aren't suffering from RSI or stress.
Well, the shitty contract company I work for now is like that. we get a whopping TWO DAYS of paid sick time per year, and you cannot even use that unless you've been here 6 months.
The reason that a lot of us are IN these crappy jobs is because we've been told that it's a "foot in the door" to an *actual job* - unfortunately we have to put up with a lot of crap before that happens. It's either this or the unemployment line. If unemployment paid what I needed to live on, I'd be there in a heartbeat.
If they win, I demand that every RIAA artist grab a shotgun/pick ax/shovel/machete/whatever and march towards the RIAA buildings to demand their fair share of the $97 billion.
After all, that's $97 bill that was stolen from the artists because of lost sales, right RIAA??

They contract out ground service in many stations. The same company may handle AA, ATA, Sun Country, etc..

The state said that he didn't have to pay back the unemployment because in all reality, he didn't make squat from the tip jar.
Now that moron from savekaryn.com made like $26,000 to pay off debt that she got her dumb self into - Todd made like $1200, if even that.

I have quite a few of those boards. Haven't had one single problem with them.
Apparantly in California, your employer can no longer tell you that you cannot discuss salary information.
