Cry for Jennifer Aniston???????????

Okay I have heard it over and over again about how Angelina Jolie stole Brad Pitt from Jennifer Aniston. This has been how many years now and how many babies later. People let it go, Brad was a grown man and could not have been taken unless he wanted too. I do not understand why women continue to make comments on other women causing problems in their marriages. We all as women know that if there are problems with you marriage before the other woman enters it than there is the chance that someone can come between it, but if your marriage is based on a strong basis and there is honesty between the both of you about what you want and what you need and of course you have God in your life than this foundation is much stronger. Brad Pitt has always wanted kids we knew that when Robin Givens dated him and she said that he stressed how much kids meant to him but she was so focused on her career so he decided to move on and that was the biggest mistake of her life. If you ask me this is the same thing that happen to Jennifer Aniston she made Brad believe she really wanted the family thing but as we all know from her career, she put it first. Jennifer is the type of woman that was not into a whole family thing because her career was taken off and she felt it might interfer with it, so Brad did what he had to do and move on. I for one am glad Brad moved on and him and Jolie have a great looking family. I think that most of America has that same attitude that always hold America back than other countries and that is that the perfect little blonde, pettite white woman heart was broken and that is just not right. So Jennifer heart was broken, I am sure she broke Brad's heart when she lied to him about having children, besides I think Jennifer is where she wanted to be she can focus on her career and not worry about pushing around a baby carriage or changing diapers, lord forbid she ruins that perfect body of hers. People lets move on and let Angelia and Brad enjoy their life along with their children together. I know I am one who can not wait until they get married in 2011, you go Bradgelina it is about time.

Bristol Palin and DAncing!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I goggle Bristol Palin and why did I do this, it was because after again watching her dance, if you can call it that, on dancing with the stars I can not believe she is twenty years old. After goggling her I did find out she was born Oct.18,1990, so yes she is twenty. Has anyone ever in their lives seen a twenty year old move as stiff as this twenty year old does. I think it is about she goes, she has been on the show enough to have loosen up by now and this has not happen. Now Jennifer Grey a fifty year old woman, need I say fifty year old woman is dancing her shall I say buttocks off. Jennifer is making Bristol look like a fifty year old woman, how ironic. I think Bristol needs to give it up and go home with her mom to Alaska and do that so call reality so. Give me and others at home a break a let Bristol Palin go home.

The View

Did anyone watch the view Monday morning, well I did and I am usually not a fan of the view but happen to have the television on that station. I heard Barbara Walters whom I always looked to as a very smart women every since she was on 20/20 and one of what I consider the first women into journalism. She carried on about how they say women can not be in politics and raise a family too and she began naming off these women that were or are in politics and either do not have a husband or children or if they had a husband they eventually divorced. Well I was shock to hear out of Barbara's mouth how Sarah Palin, let me say this again Sarah Palin manage to do it with no problem at all. Now correct me if I am wrong did not Sarah Palin who is in politics have a teenage daughter that had a baby. She may have had a family but some where in between her political life she forgot to take care of or look after her children.As a woman I have to admit if you go into politics it would be very hard to raise a family and try to run behind a career in politics. When you are in politics most of your time will be away from home so the children or the husband will be getting neglected at some point. I work a 12hr shift and I feel guilty when I do get home and do not have enough time to spend with my family or understanding what is going on in my children schools or the friends they have. I remember someone even talking about Sarah possibly letting her daughters boyfriend stay at the house at one point. This is very much possible because I know of some people who has let their daughters boyfriend move in thinking that they can keep a closer eye when they are in the same house. I really want to know what was Barbara thinking when she said this and I started to began thinking that the women I have admired for so many years is herself getting older and may be getting senile. I still like Barbara but lately a lot of her views are old fashion and like they say out with the old and in with the new, maybe we should get some younger host on the view with a variety of opinions and not ones like, whats her name from a reality show who grew up with a perfect world syndrome.Survivor.

Shocking Celebrities Death

Has anyone watch the show the most shocking celebrities death. I was really confused and could use some help on this. When they say shocking I am looking for shocking. Now Sharon Tate who was murdered unexpectedly was shocking, Anna Nicole boozing it up and popping pills is not shocking. John F. Kennedy being shot in the head is shocking but Elvis who gained about 50lbs and doing coke along with some other drugs is not shocking. John Jr. dying in a plane crash is shocking but John Belushi overdosing is not. Does anyone understand what I am saying, any celebrities death can be shocking to us but we all know that some are more shocking than others. We as people in the world know that if we mistreat our bodies and do things like drugs and even starve ourselves may look forward to short life span. Why is it shocking when a celebrity die from an overdose when we know they are doing drugs. We do not expect much of regular human beings who do drugs and do not try and change their lives, we make the statement either you clean up or you will have a quick death. We all try to explain to our children what drugs can do to them but is never really expressed on the news of how when you abuse prescription drugs, or take them with drinking and other pills how this can be a toxic combination. Why do not celebrities get on television explain to children why this is just not cool or a celebrity who may have a problem and can not stop suggest in their wills that they use their status to explain to the world what deadly substance abuse can do to a person like them. When we say the most shocking celebrities death we should use really shocking deaths and not deaths of celebrities who we think because they are celebrities can abuse alcohol and drugs and not die. Celebrities our humans and when they abuse their bodies they too can end up as others who walked this earth at one time and was not considered a celebrity but had family memebers that miss them just as much.

Palin, Palin, Palin, (Give me a break)

I am sick of seeing these so could celebrities on dancing with the stars and now Sarah Palin's daughter is on it. What part of a celebrity is she and when if anytime was her mom a celebrity. I guess I have to agree with my daughter that her mom has been in the spotlight so it is only normal that her daughter takes a shine, but my problem is at her age she should be able to move better than she does at the age of twenty. The young girl can not dance and moves as if she was frozen for some years and is trying to thaw out. This is the fifth week she has been on Dancing with the stars and she should be unthawed already but all I see is a twenty year old tightly wined up doll. Lets all do her a favor and vote off so she can go back to Alaska and do that new show her mom have coming out about Alaska, someone give me a break, one Palin a year is all I can handle.

Basketball or Baseball

Okay we all know that baseball is suppose to be the American sport but why is this. The reason I ask is because in the last few year I have notice how america as a whole has been following basketball. From the young to the old, from the poor to the rich, they all follow what is going on with basketball. Is anyone watching the playoffs between Boston and the Lakers, I have never seen so many celebrities in one place and why is this, can you say basketball. What other sport do you know have so many celeberities in one place at one time sitting front row and how many sports do you know of that many celeberities have season pass too. Basketball has always been a great sport for me and now watching I notice me along with a lot of other celeberties find it the bomb. I for one think basketball should be America's sport. Is anyone along with me, lets give the game of basketball a true shout out. It is all about the game how it is played and the excitement we get from it.

The New A Team

Here it goes something I have long waited for the remake of the A Team but yet before the movie even comes out I have a problem. Have anyone watch the actors they have playing the characters of the new A Team, they are nothing like the original characters. Maybe some people say they are not suppose to be like the original but I will have to disagree. For me the A Team was one of those shows that the characters were some great actors and the parts they played were second to none. The actors of the original A Team each had their own identity which made the show funny and moving all at the same time. These new actors have none of the personality that the original characters had and for me bring nothing new to the old. They seem to try and mimic what was old but with some none acting smirks in play. I feel as though they lost what was so great about the A Teams entire concept from the beginning of the show and that was they were a few misfits that was ex-military who gained a great source of abilities while in the military and somehow manage to loss a little sense of reality but at the same time formed a bond that no one could understand. These guys knew how to work together despite their little problems on the side. All I can say is I will not be one of those who run out to see this movie, I will just wait until it comes out of dvd. Maybe these writers who decide to remake a movie or show will take a long look and really try to understand the meaning behind it before they decide to change the entire concept to due what they feel is keeping up with the time. Most movies or tv shows originals were made with great understanding and the reason they were popular is because people like them, who is to say that is you made the movie the same way it would not be loved by the people of today. A good show with great actors present or past is still a good show.

Basketball Wives

I love the reality show Basketball Wives for some reason I was not to sure how the show would go but after watching it I have found myself hooked. I think it is so interesting to learn about the wives, ex wives, and financee of basketball players and what goes on in their everyday life. Of course their everyday life is not at all as common as our lives, they have a lot to deal with and when I mean a lot I do mean a lot. The drama is off the chain(especially when the wives meet the groupies) and it has me so glued to the television, I wish it was an hour show instead of an half hour show. Me and my daughter both talk about the show everyday and thought about how great it would be if they included football wives also or any other sport player wives. We are a family of sports watchers and watching any of these players spouses on the show would make for great entertainment. I hope VH1 keeps the show basketball wives playing because we plan on to keep watching.

Biggest Loser

Okay who has been watching biggest loser. I personally have being watching it and I myself think Kolie derserves to stay. I Can not believe how Darius had a plus two on the scales, something that has never happen. Darius must have decided that while at home he would enjoy and extra something and we have to remeber this is after running a 26miles marathon. Darius what in the world was you thinking and why would you think that you should be in the finally three after doing something like this. I am totally against what Darius did and thinks Kolie derserves much more to be in the final three, he cam from behind and made a big finish to show us what he was made of. At one time no one thought Kolie was in the running but he proved to us all that he derserves it just as much as any of the other guys. Go Kolie Go we are rooting for you. Darius needs to go home think about what he did and show us what he is made of by winning the second place prize.

Is It the Job or Is it Me?

Is it the job or is it me. I wonder and wonder and come home with the feeling of should a job be something you regret going to everyday. I know there are people out there that hate there jobs but are there people like me who really hate their job with such a passion that they get up every morning praying to God to make the pain go away and leave their job every afternoon feeling sick to the point that all they want to do is go home and cry their eyes out. I have really tried finding something good about my job but can not. The reason being because we have so many hateful, sneaky, back stabbing, vicauous, lying, and self centered people. I have never work with any company in all my life that allowed so much hatered and insane issues to go on. We have a thing were if you are not in with a certain group of managers or office personal then you are an outsider and you can not get the extra benefits that comes with being and insider. We who are the outsiders work and work and do what is expected of us, we come into work on time, we work when we are suppose to, we do not miss anytime and yet we do not receive any acknowledgement of our good work and the ones that miss time, leave early, take extra days off and follow none of the rules and make up their own rules get all the perks and is made out to be the only people who are doing anything at the company. I love myself and I love my family. I have wonder that is it because I show and gleem that my life with my family is great that this is something that these people can not understand or is jealous of so they try and make my time on the job itself misserable. People ask me why do I not leave but I have been trying to leave, I am constantly putting in for other jobs and I pray one day something will come through for me. I am saying a prayer that is about hope and courage everyday and hope that God will help me through what is a struggle in my life. For now I listen to the song in my head while working, Hold on a Change is coming, hold on everything is going to work out fine.

Television Shows

We need new televison shows on tv. We seem to be getting the same old young mostly white middle age or teenagers and their problems. Can anyone tell me why we need to hear about middle age white and teenager problems when we have more serious ones of our own. Most of their problems is dealing with the lyeing about something and then a family member finding out or sleeping around with each other and acting if that is something normal for today. Sleeping around is not normal and if girls stay true to themselves and love themselves they will find it is not necessary to sleep with every guy they meet. You can end up with all kinds of problem when you sleep around even if you use protection you still have the problem of being labeled as a slut. Guys that sleep around are to stupid to realize that most of the girls they choose to sleep with is trying to get pregnant on purpose. Most guys that if they use protection this is good enough, not. Come on people lets turn off our televisions or tune into old television shows when things made sense and not everyone was jumping in bed with everyone else and it was actually funny programming. Why do today's writers beleive this is great programming who are they asking, apparently not common people the ones that actually watch the show. Lets try true funny entertainment with a mixer of people not just whites, the world is a place of different faces, races and cultures, show it. Stop trying to make us beleive that whites are the only ones that have the perfect life and that they are the only ones that exist in America. Stop trying to make other races think that being like a white person is the way to be and let people decide for themselves about other cultures.

Dances with Stars

Okay has anyone watched dances with stars lately. I am really enjoy it for the excitements and the laughs. I have put Kate Gosslin under hot mess because that is what she is, as many children as Kate has had why is she so stiff. I thought a women that has went through have that many children could move a little loser. I have heard a lot of persons calling Pamela Anderson a slut, what I have to say to that is what does that have to do with her dancing. I like Pamela dancing and I think she has brought it everytime she got on the dance floor. We hear things about Pamela but I have always wondered where have people gotten their information from. I think Pam has always been great she did some acting that I thought was okay and of course she put out the breast but why not if that is what she needed to get a part why not, that does not mean she slept around. She married Tommy lee they had two beautiful children and she really to me seems to be a great mom because she does take part in her children life unlike some mothers. Why doe we judge her is it the way she look or act, people have to remeber that Pamela is an actress and when she does certain things or act a certain way it is usually because the camera is on her and that is what she do for a living. I have to admit though my favorite dancer is one I am not sure who she is but she did the sailor routine the other night and it was great, she was the best non professional dancer I have seen since the show dances and she gives it her all. I am embrassed to not have learned her name but I will and I am sure others will once they watch her performance.

Kate Gosselin On Dancing with the Stars!!!!!!!!

I am sure everyone has heard that Kate Gosselin will be on dancing with the stars. Are we that desperate to watch stars dancing that we have to go and dig out a mom of eight from a reality shoow to dance. I watched Kate and John plus 8 and the only thing I could get out that show was, Kate was this mother who had eight children than decided she wanted to enjoy a life outside of these children and would leave John home all the time with the children. I thought maybe they had some kind of business and that is why Kate had to go on these trips without John or the children and than my daughter Jasmine informed me that Kate was just traveling to go on short vacation and spas at different hotels. Now after catching up on the show from the beginning and as my daughter just admired the six kids that looked alike I was noticing Kate and John and how each of them reacted and handled their children. While watching I notice John was really good with his children and as for Kate she was no where to be found half of the time and the kids I guess were so use to her being gone they did not miss her. When they annonuce that John and Kate were divorcing everyone started in on John who had a young girlfriend but after watching the show I understand why John looked other places. Kate was not ther and John was with the children, it seemed as if once the show took off and the money started rolling in Kate began to roll out. I personally think the money went to Kates had, she began getting plastic surgery and when going to a place like the beach with the children you would see her in the background looking at herself in the bikini making sure she looked great for the cameras. It was never about the kids for her, it all became about her. I can understand why John became unhappy with and if you ask me all the trips she took without John looked as if she had a little secret of her own. Why not do a small get away with your husband every now and then, why always alone. The ones that really suffered in this divorce most people would say are the children but aftering watching what has been going on the children seem to be doing great and why is that. John has been taking the children regularly as always and doing just fun things with them. The children really seem to enjoy his company and when being with him they seem to not notice their mom is not there because she was not before. When Kate has the children she does not actually have the children she leaves the nannies to take the kids to the school bus, take them off the school bus and take them places like the park. Now if dancing with the stars wanted to really make the show great they would get John to also perform so that it would be like a head on head challenge for the two. Anyway I will not be voting for Kate and as far as I am concern the money dancing with the stars is using to build her studio in her home should go toward a scholarship for the children. I think everyone would do Kate a favor if they let her be the first to be kicked off the show so they can send a message letting her know she should spend more quality time With the Children and not in front of the cameras. Kate give us all a break and take more interest in your children.

1-800-Smack-Me

I have been noticing lately in the media and with people around me, we as a society have been passing judgments a lot more on each other. I was sitting at work listening to a co-worker and listened to the words that came out her mouth about others and what they were doing that was unethical on the job. This same person I was listening to was one of the most unethical persons I have ever met. Not only was she lying and scheming to get her way she had a manager that help her along with this, yet she talked about those who were stilling from the company. When I came home and turned on the television it was on CNN and I listen to them talk about Tiger Woods and his affairs and what he should do to please the people that are his fans. In the past we heard over and over again of Micheal Vick's mistreatment of animals even though he may not have actual been in the animal fights himself, but yet when a woman who worked for PETA left her dog in the back seat of her hot car while she went into work gave no explanation and when questioned about it all the Virginia people heard was she did not know her husband had put the dog in the backseat. We are suppose to listen to people before we pass judgement on what they may have done. I listen and I listen but all I hear are these judgemental hypocrites who talk about right and wrong but yet when it comes to them doing right or wrong they can not do any wrong. They believe that they are the only ones who are allowed to do wrong and that everyone else should only do what is right. I say to all those who believe that their wrongs are right just give me a call, I have decided that I should give all hypocrites and anyone who just feels they need it should call my number 1-800-smack-me. If anyone should choose to call this number I would obligate them by giving them a smack for being a self righteous, self centered, all about themselves idiot. So call me if you start to feel stupid and you need a little help. We all need to stop being so quick to judge and stop and think about are own actions and because I know this will not happen entirely I decided that people calling my 1-800 number is my contribution to helping my society to getting its act together.

Taylor Swift

I know by now that the entire USA knows who Taylor Swift is. She is the young singer that has come along and won all these awards over stars that have been well into the game of music but yet this young vibrant teenager has out did them all. Everyone was upset when Kayne West stood on stage and embrass this young lady by saying that Beyonce should have won it. Why was so many people upset, it was because this young innocent teenager is what some Americans call the perfect image of a young girl. Taylor is suppose to be what we all in America should strive to raise our children to be. She can do no wrong, because of the long blonde hair, blue eyes and innocent that she seems to be, Taylor swift is America. Is that true is Taylor Swift the sign of the all american girl, you know the image that has been rammed over and over into our heads. Did anyone watch the Academy Awards, I watched it and I liked all the performing stars except for Taylor Swift. Did anyone one watch what I watched, she did not show me that she was this great star that they all made her out to be, her singing and performance was awful and I do mean awful. Some people would say I am being harsh on the girl but that is what happens when everyone make you this person that is so great and perfect, you tend to judge them harder than anyone else because you expect more out of their performance. Also my daughter was in class and they were going to be released early so their teacher decided she would let them listen to some music, what did she decide that all the kids could listen to that would be something innocent, a Taylor Swift CD. My daugther said they were enjoying it then all of a sudden Taylor Swift miss innocent, cursed in her music. Now I do not know about you but I did not think that the girl that these people were making so great could even form a curse word out of her mouth. I thought she was suppose to be a role model for our children, there are people who point this out over and over again to families who may be letting their children listen to her CD not knowing that she curses in it. Now after my daughter came home and told me this I was shocked because I did not know she cursed, I know Taylor is grown but she does have children under age that is listening to her music, the majority of her fans are under age. So what about this music that America carry on about rappers cursing in their music, I would put Taylor Swift in the same boat as them, what is the different then her cursing and other person cursing in their lyrics. I thought about it and there is no difference, if you find one let me know.

Chris Brown and Rhianna

Here we go on the subject of Chris Brown and Rhianna again. The reason I can not get off this subject is because I can not help but wonder why is no one talking about getting this young girl some help before she hurts herself. We all heard how Chris was suppose to have beat up on Rhianna and how a man is not suppose to beat on a woman, well I am a woman and this goes both ways. No woman has a right to beat on a man but yet you are less lightly to hear about woman getting arrested for this or even getting help for it. I believe that Rhianna had a big part in this because she showed her jealousy when Chris was on stage performing with other one as though she wanted to kill them. With a attitude like Rhianna she needs to talk to someone about her behavor and why she becomes so jealous. Chris was made to do time and he is now going to thearpy to control his anger. Why is Rhianna not getting help to control her anger, if she does not the same thing will happen the next relationship if there is one. She looks sad on the Awards show and I am sure it is because a lot of people including celebrities did not appreciate what she did. She went on talk shows as a victum, instead of telling the truth about what happen she made it all like it was Chris Brown's fault and she had no part on it, as a matter of fact she played as poster child for all other girls who were being abused. I think if she is going to be a poster girl for abuse young girls she should tell the entire story and tell young girls what not to do. If a woman starts hitting on a man first she should take the time to walk away and say it is not worth it. A woman has no right to go through a man's phone if she feels he is cheating she should ask him and if he lies about it, she does not have to right to handle things in her own violent way she needs to just leave him if that is what she wants and continue on about her life. Rhianna was no innocent person and she went clubbing after the incident and we all know you do this when you are upset. She went right into other men arms, something else we know you do when you are so upset about being abused. If you ask me she needs help, help to control her anger and help to stop abusing her body by letting so many men in.

ONE TREE HiLL and 90210 Has got to go.

Soap channel, would you please do us all a favor and stop playing ONE TREE HiLL and 90210. It is so much people can take of these two shows and you are wearing them out. During the weekend all you play are these two shows over and over again and it is sicking, or making me sick to my stomach. I would rather you show all the soap operas that happen during that week for people who may work dayshift during the week and missed what happen. I know there is something else you can play besides those two shows the entire weekend. One tree Hill and 90210 come on during the week days why is it that we have to watch the old during the weekend. I really appreicated you bringing back old soap opera like Ryan Hope, why not do that during the weekend, bring something like Edge of Night or other old soap opera and play them during the weekend that would be a change and get you another kind of audience because I do not know who is watching the shows you play over and over again on the weekends. Please do us a favor and change it up.

60 minutes

I am a big fan of 60 minutes and have to admit I always wanted to do Andy Rooney part when he compare things and makes us wondering what is really true and fiction. I was talking to my husband and as he gets older he complains about forgetting things, which a lot of us do as the years go by. In my husband situation alzheimer runs in his family, mostly it seems to affect the women. So as me and my daughter jokling play around about his condition my husband decides he does not have alzheimer but yet instead he has oldsheimer. After my husband said this I started thinking to myself that is really something doctors and people like myself should think about. Oldsheimer does affect us as we get older when find ourselves not being able to do the things we did when we were young, like math, exercise or even think. As we get older or motor skills are not the same we can not react as quickly as we did when we were young. People began doubting themselves about what they can and can not do. Should doctors look into label people with oldsheimer so we would not feel as bad about getting old or begin thinking that we are different from others who are getting old. I myself remeber hom great I was in math, I was even sent to a statewide championship by my teacher. Now that I have gotten older I find myself lost around math, my daughter needs help and I have to get someone to help her because I am not sure what to do any more. Also people like my older sister make regular visits to her doctor and complains about her aches and pains and get frustrated when the doctor can tell exactly what is wrong with her. I figure if the doctors start labeling people with oldsheimer maybe she would be satisfied that what she has actually have a name. Oldsheimer and not Alzheimer can actually help people understand that they are not losing their minds just losing what they use to know as their age progress. 60minutes should give me a try, I would to discuss things like this with Andy Rooney and we can pick each other minds on things in the world today.

Bait Car

Does anyone watch the tru tv's bait car? It is cops who work on certain communities in California that has high car theft by sitting a empty vehicle, with the keys inside of it and doors unlock. They then see who will actually get in the car and decide these people are criminals who steal cars. Now first of all I do not understand why they feel the need to go and set up a agrument between two people and the other jumps into the other car and leaves their car, doors wide open and keys in ignition. The people they perform these acts in front of in broad daylight should know something is not right, but to me the area they are setting these vehicles in are people that are uneducated and do think rational. The cops make the statement that when they are leaving these cars open like this it is up to that person walking by to make a wrong or a right choice. The cars are put in poor neighborhoods and most of them do not have rides or have never had a ride and even though I know it is up to them to decide rather or not it is up to them to make the right decision, why is it that the cops claim they are trying to catch car thevies the ones that actually steal cars for a living but all I see is everyday poor people who walk by and wonder why is this vehicle being left. The cops do not actual catch the real car theives because the real car theives would not fall for that stupid set up, most the people caught have never had a record or a record for stealing a car yet they will now because these cops set them up. My biggest question is why the entire time I saw them setting up these bait cars in Hispanic and Black neighborhoods never in a neighborhoods that is mostly white. I know they must have some neighborhoods that is mostly white in California in which regular hard working citizens live in, I know all white people in California can not be rich. So why not take these bait cars to a white neighborhood and see how they would react to seeing a vehicle sit alone with keys inside, is it that the cops scared most of the whites will beat the rap of car theft and make them shut down the set up. We all know that whites have some kind of magic when it comes to beating raps and I would just like to see them put a car in their neighborhoods and stop trying to make blacks and hispanic only look bad. We are not the only ones that are tempted by a vehicle that has been left alone wide open. Instead of calling the show Bait Car I think the show should be called Cop Bait, because that is all it is, cops baiting up people and giving some persons who never had a record to make people in California think they are really catching these car Thieves when really they are not. The real car thieves are too smart to fall for this stupid set up by the cops that is mostly done in the day, go figure.

Corporate America

Okay it is here, recession even though they do not like for us to say it the fact of it is it is all to true. The way things have been going has been happening for years and now that the prices of every and anything is higher than it should be and companies are laying of for the fact they claim they have to in order to continue their companies running. We all who have been working for a company ten years or more have been around long enough to see the good the bad and the ugly and this is by far the ugly. We know what the companies have done, and what they do to make their money, we are usually the ones helping them to make their money. We usually see what comes in and out and know what it takes to make this revenue. Now after having worked for these companies all these years we are being told they are in a recession and they need to cut back anyway they can and need are help to help them do this. I like many of my co-workers knew what was coming but we did not know to what extreme. Our hours have been cut back, the work force has been cut back and we are ask to do twice as much work as before at half the pay. We are not given any holiday pay and this pass Christmas all we received was a christmas card signed by people most of us did not know. It is really crazy and what makes it more upsetting is the managers seems to be getting rewarded for what they are not doing. The company I work for seem to think the managers deserve more for being just that a manager. I understand that managers usually take on more so they usually get paid more, but with our company the managers do nothing and do not know half of our jobs so if we are short they can not help and will not help because they no they can not. Managers were paid to be the back bone of the company but when you have a company that the managers are blood suckers instead of supporters, why is it that the company yoou work for choose to turn a blind eye to the employees who speak on this. The managers this pass holiday received bonuses and the crew leaders received gift cards and what made it bad they tried to hide it from the employees because I guess they thought we would get upset if we found out. If a company was scared about they employees finding out something they did then does not that say they were ashamed of what they did. To me personally they were making a statement and that statement was that the managers are more important than the employees, the ones that work a rotating 12hr shift, the ones that pure their sweat and heart into their work, the ones that have to deal with the irrate customers, the ones that have to actually make the decisions in the middile of the night wehen they managers are at home in their beds with their family. What is corporate America I really do not know, I never understood what was meant by that but I do know what is right and what is right is treating your employees with respect and getting that respect you are owed back.
