Does it EVER end?

Current mood: distressed


I think I set myself up for bad karma. Or maybe it's the negative energy that I sometimes feed into. Who knows. But all of my attempts to live a normal, productive life always seem halted! I have been at my job for about 16 months. Never had an issue, never been in any trouble or drama. Well, that all changed on Friday. Understand, that I have been trying to apply for a permanent position with the company since February. The first app. I put in was "lost" and I was told I needed to work in my position a bit longer ( while other's were told NOT to apply, all of us being black). This round I was advised I needed to stabilize my work history. WTF? I am confused here. There was no mistake that I was upset by what was going on. Honda is a fickle company. A company which only 5% of it's employees are black. I work in a department that is run strictly by who u know and who like you... definitely NOT by skill or qualifications. There are people there who've been there 3 or 4 years and STILL have not been made associate because the don't fit the "profile". I have brought these issues up with management SEVERAL times and I have been very vocal in my disgust for their bias hiring process. Then I was sabatoged.

After returning from lunch on Friday, I was called into the conference room with one of the contract coordinators. She proceeds to show me an open case of mine, which I haven't worked. I look over the case and see that there has been some type of myspace bulletin pasted in the note section. Ok. So, I keep looking at her and she asked how did they get there? Shit if I know! I don't copy and paste myspace notes into my cases, not on accident or on purpose. I am then told this is a terminating offense, HOWEVER it is being investigated. I am given two different stories as to how this case was pulled. I start asking several questions because this is MY JOB they are talking about. I went over every scenario in my mind and there is NO WAY I did this... not even on accident! Someone set me up... but it's under my username.. well, guess what.. my user name is accessible by EVERYONE in the department and the password is universal. I have worked here for over a year and I've never been so much as warned for attendance.. .this is uncharacteristic of my work ethic and a bunch of bullshit! Needless to say, I was suspended with pay.... but wait.. How am I suspended if they have no proof? Well, it's their mistake. I will not go quietly and for whomever tried to set me up.. what goes around comes around! In my mind, realistically speaking, if they had REAL evidence I would have been fired on Friday.... either way it goes.. I am fighting this to the very end! I did not work my ass for over a year to be terminated for some straight up bullshit!!



*sigh*
