well the meeting went well. we discust the way this was handled and how it was misshandled. we are still in negotiations with my compensation. (I am not trying to break the bank) I just want justice. As for the sexual harassment charge for some odd reason it dissapeared. So did the speculation of stealing . I don't know what happened your guys is as good as mine at this point. All I am worried about is the other employees that are left behind. I will be writing short blogs here and there tell all the story of how the police are involved and people monitoring my blog. their is a fear right now in me because I really care about my fellow co workers and i am praying they don't go through a situation like I did. I lost two friends in a similar manner. they both has overwhelming accusations against them and were told to stay quite I was terminated on the charge of misuse of company property.

I will post the blog by tomorrow promise

The good reps from many of the stores in the county were all planning a get together for me as a farewell from the company. DJ somehow finds out and in his manipulative way informally questioned each rep and discouraged them from going. The threatened without threatening people via suggestive talk. One by one people started to call and cancel other just didn’t call at all and ignored my calls to cancel. I don’t blame them they are not built for this type of stress. I have my blog to keep me moving, and calm they don’t.
This situation made my girlfriend leave me for the last time. She went back to the DR and said good bye for ever. Her reason was I have too much drama around me. I did not go out looking for trouble but it finds me. I will be written my book about the earlier time in AT&T and how things lead up to this day. As for now I will be posting blogs and keeping you guys up to date on this. So far the company affected someone I really care about by making up some harassment charge. My girl believes me that I would not cheat on her but she just could not handle me getting into a dramatic battle every year with management. I was recently told that no one from the company can get in contact with me and I can’t get in contact with them. Out of sight out of mind continue selling people continue selling.
The thing that made her decision easy was I recently received my W-2 and no Fed-tax was withheld from my pay check. I definitely know that I filled out the paper work correctly and reported this situation to the HR department. I never really noticed due to setting up a 401k for the first time and have money directly deposited to my savings account and checking separately. I never had a paper tail until I printed all my check from January when I came into the company. I know for a fact it is not my fault because I had my HR rep help me fill out the form. It is an over sight by them and they have no answers. Come to think of it they might have known about this so they decided to get rid of me first in order for me not to press charges against them for gross neglect of my tax situation.
I have a meeting with them on Thursday Fed 15 and will blog you after the meeting. Thanks for reading Peace !!!!!

Thanks to all who have read and commented on my blog and a special shout out to the westside gazette for wanting to publish my story if any one can get in contact with Ralph Nader or Michael Moore that would be great. Thanks again and if I don'tget to your e-mail personally I will do a brawd e-mail to show my appreciation thanks again.

Meeting in session via telephone AT&T your world delivered. The EEO representative phoned in to cast judgment on me. Do you believe that? They treat me as if I had the plague or something. The setting for the meeting is as follows, In M&M’s office the EEO on the phone and the Union by my side. The EEO went on to tell me why I was serving my suspension. I was accused of sexual harassment! I am totally in shock to a point where I felt like throwing up. But I sat strong and kept on with the interview head held up high.
Then the probing questions started and I answered al honestly. They first ask did I send this text message “hey girl you sexy and I am sexy I saw we be sexy together” I answered yes! Then I was asked why, I told them me a few of the ladies in the store was watching a TV show called Martin in the break room we had good laughs. The reason I text that part is because we all were texting back and fourth about the show. We did it like a regular conversation no feelings or any hidden agendas were involved.
Second question was about a video of Jamie Foxworthy form the TV show family Matters one of my wild and crazy friends sent me. This video is a clip of her in the adult film industry. Yes people Porn was found on my phone ( bhum, bhum, bhum, dramatic climax). I explained this was sent to me by a friend during my birthday party on my vacation. I had co-workers with me and they asked me to see the video and I forward it to them that night. Mind you we all had a little to drink and were not thinking about work why should we think of work? We are off the clock in a party having fun anything about work was the last thing on our minds.
After explaining that to the EEO she then goes on to say that I wrote a message about my DJ sating “Dat Niggah DJ just pulled dem cameras on me yo!” This is black slang for “DJ just reviewed the cameras in the store to see if I am stealing things”. The EEO then stats I have no right to use the word niggah it is a racist word! At this point my jaw fell to the ground. If you heard the disagreement and smi-anger in the EEO’s voice. Mind you on the phone she is a very polite sounding old school white southerner. She even went to the extream to ask me “how would you like it if I or someone else called you that word”?
I told her that that is now our word we took it from your culture and mad it a hood slang word in our culture. If someone calls me a nigger then that is different then niggah, she was not buying it. Therefore I told her that is how the black youth of today talks we use that word as a slang word we don’t give it any meaning. If the word is used to insight hate and slander then it is wrong, it’s the word but the feeling behind the word. She repeated so if someone called you that word would yo be mad? I told the EEO if it is my people no!
A total of two hours have gone buy and we are almost done with the interrogation ahh I mean the interview to hear my side of the story. Now the Union steps in and has my defense. Union ask the on what evidence besides and accusation did the company feel it was justified to suspend me. EEO answered this is the practices that AT&T has been doing for years. In my opinion guilty until proven innocent! Then Union asks if my client did not have anything on his phone would there be evidence of harassment? EEO answered the accusation is enough to look into the matter. In my opinion I was being monitored closely from day one and they couldn’t pin a theft rap sheet on me so they used harassment!
Union then began to tell them that these practices are unfair do to the rapid suspension and lack of evidence before taking action. Union also states that the fact that I was not told why I was suspended and the length of the suspension was also unfair. Union then asks why wasn’t my client told if he would be receiving his paycheck or not? EEO answered because an investigation was pending before a decision will be made. Union states it looks like my client has been punished already as if a decision has been made. Example an indefinite suspension without pay before he even knows why he is suspended. It seems as if I have been judged and sentenced before I knew what I was up against.
