A sad excuse for a cab company

2009-07-03T12:28:00.001-05:00

After over a year of trying to make that place better, I had to throw in the towel.

To those who wondered

2009-07-01T19:02:00.003-05:00

Let me take a moment to explain what happened today...

I have spend the last 3 weeks bustin my ass for 60+ hours a week, plus working on the weekend in the dispatch room. I was coming out of pocket to pay lease and gas. The only money I was making was from the dispatch job.

I had to do something. Suburban has let its cash business go to the dogs. I enquired at a competing company. Suburban management got wind of it before I even had a chance to say anything. They proceeded to fire Lori, who has busted her ass for them and pulled their ass out of the hot bacon grease on more than one occasion, as well as her son and my daughter who all worked in the call center. In my opinion, they did not deserve that.

I have several Facebook friends that currently work in that call center. I have one word of advice, watch your ass. I know of a couple of CSRs that have been on the company's short list that Lori has hung on to because basically she felt they were good employees.

Lori is a good worker. She'll bounce back from this. I'm a little concerned for my step son and my daughter, but they say things do happen for a reason.

As for Suburban Cab, they have a well documented history of fucking folks that fall into their bad graces. I will take a wait and see approach, but trust me, if they attempt to screw any of us out of monies that are owed to us, I will use every means at my disposal, fair or unfair to expose this once great company for the sham it has become.

Adiós...

Being called a racist by a white guy

2008-09-18T20:06:00.002-05:00

So, I've had this manager position at the cab company for a couple of months now. I've really enjoyed the job for the most part, however there is one part of the job that leaves a real bad taste in my mouth... Firing employees.

I've had to let 7 people go so far. One for not grasping the job in a reasonable time, one got busted jacking money out a co-worker's purse, 3 for attendance issues. I even had one that was caught sniffing used tampons on the ladies room.

But there was one guy that I had all I could do not to send away on a stretcher. I actually didn't fire this guy. His stupidity got him in trouble with my supervisor, at the time.

It was really my first time having to deal with someone like him. Just GOOGLE paranoid and his picture will be on the first result. I mean, every day this dude came to work, he thought someone was out to get him. At first, I found it kind of funny, but after a while, it just got painfully old.

Well, now our company has been named in a lawsuit by this guy. While I don't know the particulars of the suit, I think it has something to with wrongful termination. I have heard through the grapevine, however, that Lori and I are mentioned by name. He claims that because of this website, I am a racist.

Now I didn't come out of hibernation from this blog to debate whether or not I'm a racist. I've locked horns with a couple of black folks, over the last year or so, that were unable to distinguish the difference between a redneck and a racist. But this guy that looks like a billy goat with a fishing lure stuck in his lip is as white as a flour tortilla.

Now, I've never been the type to rely on character witnesses, but I challenge anybody to talk to my staff, of which only a handful are Caucasian, if this self proclaimed redneck has a racist bone in his body.

Problem is, I just don't have a lot of faith in the legal system. Frivolous lawsuits still plug the courts and nobody seems to have the seeds to do anything about it. I'm not going to breath easy until this thing is dismissed...

...or when the asylum finally realizes that their star patient is missing.

Thanks for the heads up.
