What the Hell?

Ok, I get to work today and I’m told to go straight to a meeting, even though I’m not clocked in and not supposed to be clocked in for another hour. Ok, fine. So I go to this meeting and to my surprise, there’s a whole bunch of HR people standing around as well as our operations manager. Guess what? Road Runner decided to switch the call volume to the Canadian call centers that are held by Stream, and we have to choose between Nike and Sirius or just plain quit and find a different job. May 31st is the last day our center will take calls for Road Runner.
Myself, I chose to go to Sirius, even though I don’t want to. I’ve listened to Sirius calls and I’d decided to stay with Road Runner, and then BOOM, they smack us upside the head with this. I’m still in shock over it. I wanted to stay with Road Runner, I didn’t want to go to Sirius. I definitely don’t want to go to Nike though, so I guess I’m stuck with Sirius.
What impact does this have on me? Well, first, I’m going from $10.62 an hour to possibly $9.50 an hour. Yeah. Over a dollar pay cut. I might get a bit more than the $9.50, but I’m going to definitely be getting $9.50. But, I can get Sirius radio for free after being on the project for 90 days. *rolls eyes* Yeah, that’s a big help. I need MONEY not free satellite radio service.
The guy at the desk on my left quit, the guy at the desk on the right is quitting after the last day he’s scheduled that Road Runner will be doing. It sucks and I think it’s a load of crap. They swear they didn’t know until this morning, but somehow, I don’t believe them. I think they knew and are just saying that to cover their butts.
If all goes right, my training class for Sirius will start on May 20th. Yippee. Sirius Satellite Radio. Bleh.
