[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1100532, member: 22880"] Be careful with that... if that customer decides to call in a 'concern' to the 1-800 number, you'll be sitting in front of your manager, sr. manager and HR representative trying to explain why you are 'sabotaging' Express customer relations. Don't play into the game of Express (giving them something to fire you over). You have only real viable option if you decide you can't leave Express - and that is to organize. If you give Express something to fire you over, they'll be glad that you played their game and gave them an easy way to get rid of a disgruntled employee. Don't make it easy for them, don't play the game which is rigged in their favor. Outside of leaving, you only have one viable option which will give you a voice against your employer - get your fellow employees to realize that organizing is the only way to put an end to the erosion in your compensation and make Express management nervous as hell when they find out union rep cards are circulating. That will get their attention. In addition, SFA time is coming up. Your station management is part of the system that is responsible for the situation that you are in. Let them have it with both barrels. They may smile and want you to think that they are your good buddy - they are merely being paid by Memphis to be the on the spot enforcers. Why continue to let them keep their jobs while yours goes into the tubes? Nail them with bad SFAs and they'll be sent packing eventually (Memphis doesn't like enforcers who can't pull off the 'con' effectively - they'll find others to play the role if the ones they have aren't being successful at it). No sense in letting your enforcers get off easy, while your standard of living slowly sinks.... [/QUOTE]
