OK, I don't get this asshole. First he fucks up, and doesnt realize he overpaid me $200 a month during 2009, and part of 2010. When he did, he tells me 5 minutes before I am suppose to go drive 150 mile bus route that they fucked up and overpaid me, and he wants to get together with me so we can work out how I am going to pay it all back. The next day, I have checked a few things and send word that by law, I only have to pay back the last quarters worth, which pisses him off. But hey, he was the one who should have caught it before it went 14 months. Well I cash in my sick and vacation pay up until July 1st, which is more than I had to payback, and he agrees. He doesnt say jack shit about it again...until 8 months later, when I come in to do my evening shift the night before Thanksgiving, an d here is my paycheck already. It is for HALF what it should be. Since Thursday and Friday are days off, and no one is in the office on the weekend, I stew for four days trying to get it figured out. I knew on Wednesday night that the federal withholding tax and FICA were like 300% what they normally were, but didnt realize until either Sunday night or Monday morning why. He had taken the entire $2,400 that had gone undeclared from 2009, and dumped it into one paycheck as a "draw". Then took all the withholding and FICA from that total amount (which was almost 3 months wages. I call the IRS, because this was the ONLY time he had taken ANY withholding out at all in 2010, and was told he had to file undeclared 2009 income as 2009 income and couldn't do what he did. I passed that word on to my dispatcher, who let him know. He sends word back that his bookkeeper said he could. When I came in to start my shift he asks why I was upset with the check. When I told him it was bullshit, and why, he just kept saying his bookkeeper said he could. I walked inside the bus barn, and he said something that stopped me dead in my tracks, and I spun around. He was right behind me, on the other side of the doorframe. Just repeating the same thing, that his bookkeeper said he could. He wasn't listening to anything, and I was getting to the point I almost punched him. This son of a fucktwat would have called the cops in a heart beat, and I knew it. So before I did I said I was thoguth wiht this shit and steped outside passed him to catch my breath. As I was maybe 10 feet outside the door he hollers behind me "Turn in your keys." So, that means I couldnt do my shift, because I needed the keys to finish up at night. I stromed past him figuring he was firing me over this whole back pay/undeclared income thing, and turned in my keys. When I filed for unemployment because I ahd been fired, he tells them I wasnt fired, I quit. Well I appealed, and when it came time for the hearing, he submits paperwork as evidence...most of which is BS anyway...but several pages of it were from the community services side of the business. They were assistance application forms my wife and step-son had both filled out months before. They had shit like birthdates, social security numbers, addresses, and so on...so I objected, and the judge ended up not admitting them. She said they were irrelevent anyway, which put a burr und his ass. The Judge finally ruled after he testified for about 25 minutes, and then I did for 5 or 6, that I had been fired. So I get my unemployment, since i was actively looking for work anyway. Well then friday, I come back froma job interview, and know I have a 1 in 3 shot of scoring a decent Union job, and there is a piece of mail from Employment Security...the fucker is trying to get the judges ruling reviewed. His request is filled with stupid shit. Like the fact the Judge changed the Identification for all his exhibits...he had them alphabetically, and the hearings judge already had evidence in numerical order so kept it all numerical....the fact that the Judge said the employer had the burden of proof that I quit and wasnt fired "stunned" him...and more stupid shit like that...so I spent the better half of the afternoon typing up a reply letter ointing out all the stupid shit he was saying. Including the one question I was hoping he would ask, but didnt think he was dumb enough to put on paper. "Why did I think 'turn in your keys' meant I was fired?" Hey, I could have gone on my route without my keys..but I wouldn't have been able to turn in my paperworks, bus keys, cell phone, or lock up and secure the bus yard...so "Turn in your keys." meant I couldn't do my job. Which means I was FIRED. Those words are going to bite him in the ass. Every time he tries to fight this, it just gives me more firepower, to push him releasing shit in violation of the Privacy Act, his "odd" bookkeeping, and his really bizarre tax witholding procedures. This dude is going to end up stewing himself in his own ego. Starting on Tuesday, I am going to start building up the pressure on him...I wanna see him blow his cork.
More on that later.
You need to contact the Dept. of Labor. He needs a good auditing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Jeff, and it is in the works. As well as giving the IRS a heads up too...but first I am going to add a little pressure on him. Gonna park the bike right in front of his door on Main St. with a sign attached to it asking if peoples records are really private at this organization. The bike will be watched by a couple different places and people with cameras from down the street, and the local paper is swinging by to take a pic for the paper. I can't imagine this guy not doing something stupid...but who knows, he may just surprise me.
