for the love!

my work is being so stupid right now.

on friday an email was sent out saying that for summer semester instead of the 39 hours that we had been allowed (39 instead of 40 due to budget) we would only be allowed to work 30 hours. and then there was another email saying that we are now allowed to take on a second campus job to work 20 hours at each.

yeah. a second job.

now does that make sense to anyone else? because i don't get it.

also, keep in mind that this was sent to us 2 weeks before summer semester starts. which means that any position with on-campus jobs will have been filled. also, it's june. any job openings in provo have been filled. and if any of us manage to find another on-campus job, it won't pay as well as this one so we'd want to work 30 here and 10 there. but what other job is going to let us only work 10 hours?

now, those on my team had thought to avoid all this crap because we're doing roughly 1/3 the work of the entire call center where there are about 10 teams. are we exempt? no. they want us to cut back our hours so they can hire more people and make us train them. which only really serves to frustrate us more.

all of this is only because we're the peons in the entire operation.

i say we just delete everyone's accounts and then see how they feel about cutting back our hours.

Dang...that's too bad. I say delet everyone's accounts. That'll fix everything. Wait...maybe the engineers will just delete them all for you! They seem to have an easy way to just do all of them at one time. :)

Just don't delete your own account.

well, that *might* defeat the purpose. but i could delete my own account after i ruin everyone else's so there's no trail.
