Yesterday got called into a company meeting. Our douchebag of a CEO basically says "we're not making payroll this week". Greeeeeeeeeat. Screws a good 400+ nationwide employees.

Can't say it's really their fault though - we're a huge subcontractor for Verizon and basically our funds go through a lending company. Supposedly we have about $3 million in funds for this week that are being held up by our AR funding company b/c Verizon hasn't approved the invoices.

It's great working for a telecom company I tell ya :|

(On a seperate note - anyone want to hire me?) :(

EDIT: And yes, I polished up the resume last night, I'll be looking, no doubt about that.

So does that mean they just won't pay you? Pay you next week? Pay you less this week?
 

I hate verizon. I worked for a contractor and then got hired directly by verizon, only to get laid off about a year later.

If I was you and at work right now, I would go home. No pay = no work.

Err well.....there's still a slight chance (like Rosie O'donnell being considered hot) we might make 1/2 our payroll today, doubt it though.

Supposedly the plan is, 1/2 of it next week, the other half the following week. But then that'd be 3 weeks we'd be getting paid for during that payperiod. (Biweekly paycheck) Which we all know isn't going to happen. Hell we haven't paid the phone bill in two of our offices, from the frantic phone calls about the outage in service from those offices. (Luckily it goes through our T1 in those offices, so they can still call out)

Seriously-like. Walk out of your office and go home. Get the rest of your co-workers to do the same. If they don't pay you for services rendered, then you shouldn't be working for free.

Douchebags.

Let me see if I've got this right, you copied RagingBitch's sig into the text of the message, quoted it all & turned this into a political post?

Dave, have you been skipping your medications?

I guess that's what happens when you vote for a pansy as a vice president.

Awwwwww how quaint, a fellow Texan (and most likely another rabid Bush fan) comes to the aid of another Texan whining about a "Political" problem.

Prove it is not a Politically based problem.

Prove it is a politically based problem. If anything its a problem created from breaking up a monopoly, and we all know you hate them.
