I'm tired of this company. If they'd give me $40,000 I'd walk away from it. Is it possible to just be voluntarily terminated? This below was in a previous EISP offer and says other associates in other positions can apply to be surplus. So can just... — read more

Hey, f--- you.. You bunch of liberal voting, no dick having, bitches.

Back almost 2 weeks now and there is no end in sight to the back log of installs and trouble tickets that were done incorrectly. Another week or two and we could have got back the "44" and gained security for all of our members but instead we decided... — read more 

How will Shamwow fund this purchase? With smoke and mirrors for investors and RIF's for employees.

Dunn the do nothing and Mike the whats in it for me both need to be voted out.

The most important thing that you can be doing, starting right now, is saving at least $50 every pay for your next strike fund. This will give you approximately 8 weeks of pay, and if necessary, you can then use your union strike pay to fund your... — read more

Has anyone heard of RIFs in the near future for Orangeburg NY office? I wonder how long that building can last....

I'm trying to prepare for my 2019 EWA assignment, so any help is appreciated.

I was wrong when I said last week that scabs didn't do any engineering work. Turns out one of my jobs was drawn by a contractor. It got FUBAR'd big time. It will take me longer to fix what he did than if I was starting from the beginning. And he... — read more
