Sorry, I was just fuckin' with you cause I was about to sit down to breakfast.
Anyway, I don't know the specifics, the names of the policies, or that stuff. She says she's supposed to be covered and she's not getting paid, I take her word for it.
To me, the specifics don't matter because I feel the company should take care of her. A few years ago the powers that be at the company would have agreed with me, but that's all changed and I think that sucks.
I'm not saying I think Fed Gov should come in and seize the company and force them to pay out, or that laws should be passed or anything like that. I'm just advocating for companies to stand by their employees when they say they will. This company is all about "core values" and family, being a great place to work, doing the right thing for the employees, etc. etc. Those aren't things I'm making up, its all part of the bullshit they push on everyone from the moment you sit down for your first interview. The CEO himself comes down from Germany now and then and echos the same things.
Then, when the shit hits the fan, and you need them to be there for you they're nowhere to be found. Oh, that's ok, I don't need to keep paying for my house or my car though...no biggie. This type of situation isn't something that happens very often, and we aren't talking about someone who just started. This is a 10 year employee who has always done the right thing in her role for the company and who has been assured they will be there for her with anything she needs during this difficult time in her life. A few months pay of her meager salary would cost them next to nothing and would show that they really are there for the employees, greatly improving everyone else's pride in the company....instead of making them ashamed to be there. Pretty big difference in productivity if you ask me...
I guess these motherfuckers don't realize April Fools is only for one day of the year.
