Opportunities for advancement? Huh? No. We were contractors and unpaid
for our overtime. The director was allegedly (I say *allegedly*) fired
for embezzlement. It was a horrible place to work, never knowing from
one day to the next whether one would be let go, simply for having to go
home. As a single parent, I couldn't even be home to help my kid with
homework because I feared I wouldn't have a job the next day if I didn't
put in the obligatory "overtime" without getting paid. While I was
there, the idiot Security and Facilities person (a woman) exposed
herself and we were all interviewed about "the incident." I got let go,
presumably because I was truthful when they asked whether my coworker
was being discriminated against for a medical condition. It was obvious
that they were pressuring her to leave. She now has a suit against them
for wrongful termination. I don't blame her, and I will testify if at
all possible. Someone should go to classactionsuit.org or whatever and
see if they can gather contact info for a class action suit; you know
there are more people who had to work overtime without pay. I contacted
the Dept. of Labor anonymously, which doesn't do much. The contracting
agency who sent me there is cutthroat and doesn't give two craps about
their contractors as far as I'm concerned. They didn't about me, anyway.
All they cared about was getting their money. I worked with a bunch of
vegans who refused to eat meat and they would leave their nasty rotten
lunch in the fridge, smelling up everything. The latest thing I heard is
that someone stuck a four-inch blade knife in someone's chair at work
and there was allegedly an investigation about it. If you want to work
for a company that let most of its contractors like me go without notice
and it's located in frigging Carlsbad, about 40 miles north of San
Diego, go for it. My former boss works there now, from another company I
worked at, and he sexually harrassed everyone, including me. I hear he
is the water boy for the rest of the team, which should suit his talents
just fine. Seems like they have lowered their hiring standards. Oh, and
we had to pay for our own water (water cooler donation). These are just
all my opinions.
