Jerk Employer Part 2

A few days later I found out calls had been set up by the 2nd line manager, who’s direct reportees people were involved, and I was the only one left in my team with a role. I was not invited on these calls, when asked why I was not on the call by someone, they were told I’d be contacted separately. I was not contacted by anyone, I don’t know why I was never contacted. I asked questions on Teams, and I was ignored, so I gave up. I was then sent an email by a fellow C grade who was also affected, which stated that C grades could not apply for the E grade roles. I emailed my 3rd LM cc'ing the HR rep asking for confirmation on this matter and a call was set up with the 3 of us. I was told on the call I could not apply for the E grade roles, they thought we could, but they got it wrong. But I was told I could apply for a front line role (taking customer calls) and they could help with that. I would only need to move north and be in a building for 3 days a week and 2 at home. When I stated I was a home worker due to disabilities, the HR rep shrugged his shoulders and said "er". This was via a team call and they both had their camera on. That was the support from HR in BT. A shrug that I was disabled. A shrug that it was clear it wasn’t going to find any help. I went looking for some help and support about being disabled and finding a new role within BT. I came up blank, there was no real help, just documents that served no purpose in the help I needed. So, I emailed the 3rd LM asking for where I could go and get help about finding a new role but taking in my disabilities also, and he replied it would be down to the new hiring manager. So basically no support from 2nd or 3rd line managers in helping or supporting their employees who are disabled. We all had consultation calls with the 3rd LM, now all my colleagues had been on these calls and they lasted minutes with this man. Not mine, I made it clear how angry I was, I laid everything out to him. About the support I wasn’t receiving, how my second line manager had calls without me being on them. How that made me feel as a person, and why did they think it was ok to be treated this way. Especially at how the HR rep presented himself in the previous call, shrugging his shoulders when I said I was a home worker due to disability. He apologized and said to contact him with any help I needed. He must have spoken to 2nd LM as they called the following day. The opening on this call wasn't their fault that they never spoke to me, they felt it was out of their hands. I cut that call very short after explaining how they made me feel as a person, and how it proved what they thought of me as a member of her wider team. It hurt me very deeply that they did that. As there was still a hold on any new roles I had no choice but to take redundancy and leave the BT. BT states as part of our diversity policy to ensure we meet the needs of all our customers, BT encourages applications from people with disabilities and supports their professional development. My experience has thrown light on the fact that this is not the case. HR shrugged his shoulders at me when I stated I was a home worker due to disabilities. This to me, shows how much BT supports their disabled employees. We are worth more than a shrug. But I'm calling this out. They have done this to me, I won't have been the first. And I definitely won't be the last but if I can make just 1 person be treated better than I was I'd be so happy. BT is no longer what it was, and those in their ivory towers need to know how the way me, and everyone else was treated so horrifically.

The narcissistic Elon Musk treating people like shit is not exactly news. But he never seems to run out of ways to do so.

While the majority white tech employees who were fired by Musk or quit after his famous “hardcore” memo got severance packages to tide them over for the next few months, people of color who do cleaning and maintenance were more or less told to just fuck off.

Cleaners at Twitter's headquarters in San Francisco have told the BBC they were sacked without severance pay.

One of them told the BBC a member of Elon Musk's team had said their jobs would be replaced by robots.

A California state senator said Mr Musk was treating the former staff "like garbage".  

San Francisco's city attorney, David Chiu, said he's investigating if Mr Musk broke the law. Twitter has not responded to a BBC request for comment.

"Elon Musk has had a long history of flouting labour laws," Mr Chiu told the BBC.

"While I'm not surprised this happened, I feel for these workers. We will be looking into this further."

Elon Musk is like a real life 21st century Scrooge – but worse.

Adrianna Villarreal, who worked for Twitter for four years, said she's now worried she won't have enough money to feed her family over Christmas.

"It's a sad and frustrating thing for our families and children," she said.

The cleaners were working at Twitter last week until they were told their jobs were under threat.

Olga Miranda, president of the cleaners' union, said they organised a strike on Monday to protest. The cleaners were then told they had been laid off effective immediately, she says.

"They did this three weeks before Christmas," she said. "I think we were fired because we're a union."

And no, it wasn’t like this at Twitter before Evil Elon.

Julio Alvarado has been a cleaner for 10 years at Twitter. He says the environment was always friendly during his time with the company.

But he says things changed when Mr Musk took over Twitter in October.

"People worked without worries," he told the BBC. "Now we are afraid."

Since Mr Musk acquired the company, Mr Alvarado says he was escorted by private security while cleaning parts of the office.

He also says he was told by someone from Mr Musk's team that his job would be obsolete soon anyway because robots would eventually replace human cleaners.

Twitter will only continue to get worse; quit thinking that this is temporary and that things will soon return to the good old days before November.

Looking for alternatives to Twitter should get a high priority. If you know people in tech, encourage them to develop a platform which Twitter users can easily migrate their accounts to.

Alright now this pissed me off

What do you MEAN you're going to remove one of the most important aspects of Sokka's character arc in the first season? What do you MEAN you're going to remove Sokka unlearning misogyny, accepting change and embracing his role as a fighter and protector of the Avatar in order to end the war? What do you MEAN???

#they're also going to apparently show the rise of the fire nation as well as the airnomad genocide #which; again; i'm conflicted on #atla #netflix atla #avatar the last airbender #avatar #sokka #atla live action #atla netflix #netflix

Whoever needs to hear this. Please know.

"Closed at 6pm" does not mean "The entry door locks up at 6, but if you're already inside you can keep on shopping."

It means, "you should be finished and out of the store at 6pm."

This is not up for debate

This is just how things work

#The lights went out 20 minutes ago and this woman is comparing ingredients on soy sauce #Straight up shopping in the dark peering into black freezers and shit #Her car is parked in a fire lane and I hate her

"free palestine," he shouted until his last breath. aaron bushnell, we will never forget you.

as much as bushnell's actions has moved us all, please seek other ways to take actionable measures against the injustices we face in the world. none of us wanted him gone, and the least we can do is prevent another such tragedy by supporting each other in our efforts to enact lasting change.

#aaron bushnell #the boy with his heart on fire #this is in no way intended to glorify his actions #i do not condone self immolation as an act of protest but i cannot deny that it is something that causes an impact #and it has struck a chord within us all #we must not let his death be in vain #free palestine #my art #original

i think ultimately the core of what irritates me about the t swift craze is that she’s constantly getting props for things that … literally aren’t true. people act like she’s self made, she is not. people act like she’s a social activist, she is not. people act like she’s constantly going to great lengths to uplift other women, she is not. like if people were just like yeah i love her music :) then okay! but it’s the constanttttt applause and praise and worshipping for things that are just patently false that really makes me feel insane

#it would be like. if someone was like ‘we LOVE phoebe bridgers and how she saves puppies from house fires’ #then you google it and it’s just like one pic of her holding a dog from 4 years ago
