2006-06-24 16:44:12 UTC
I work for the airlines and I am forced to work so fast in order to get customers processed in time for their flight. I have talked to supervisors about it and they could care less and never offer help to employess, they just sit in their office and let us work our asses off. I understand this is a fast paced environment but we just don't have enough staff. I like the job but hate working like this Any advice.

Hi wanna make lots of money???well here is yor chance...

read this and you will know what i am talking about,trust

me all you have to do is be honest and follow every step

and before you know it you'll start getting money...



I started out with $6. Now, I am making thousands. I

found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A

little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just

like you are now, and came across an article similar to

this that said you could make thousands of dollars within

weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I

thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most

of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said

that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses

stated in the article. You then place your own name and

address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the

article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands)

No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and

talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it.

I figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and

$6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well

GUESS WHAT!?... within 7 days, I started getting money in

the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but

the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made

about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a

total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over

$10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth

week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and

it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00,

and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!!

Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, WHY

it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this

article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as

you need it. I promise you that if you follow the

directions exactly, that you will start making more money

than you thought possible by doing something so easy!



Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it

out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and

watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And your

investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)



IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it

is not illegal; and it is 99% no risk - it really works!

If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you

will receive extraordinary dividends.



PLEASE NOTE:

Follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000.00 or more

can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains

successful because of the honesty and integrity of the

participants. Please continue its success by carefully

adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of

the Mail Order business. In this business your product is

not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the

business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large

corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists.

However, the money made from the mailing lists is

secondary to the income which is made from people like you

and me asking to be included in that list.



Here are the 4 easy steps to success:



STEP 1:

Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write down your name

and address followed by the words "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR

MAILING LIST" on each of them. Now get 6 US $1.00 bills

and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the

bill will not be visible through the envelope (to prevent

thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6

envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed

envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above

phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you

are doing is creating a service. THIS IS

ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service

and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little

skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of

it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-

800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal.

Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:



1) Almeric Battiste

P.O. Box 450035

Kissimmee, Florida USA 34745



2) Phonexay Khounvongsa

5003 Lakecrest Dr.

Shawnee, KS, USA 66218



3) Tamara Ortiz

2471 Newsom Rd.

Bellville, TX. USA 77418



4) Kyle P.

1325 Tonti St.

LaSalle, IL.USA 61301



5) Rucci

418 Wilcox Street

Carnegie, Pa. 15106



6) Stefan B.

2903 Marquette Rd.

Peru, IL. USA 61354



STEP 2:

Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move

the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and

add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.



STEP 3:

Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article

as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended

article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are

close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember,

the more you post, the more money you make! You won't get

very much unless you post like crazy.



This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to

Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep

a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need

money, you can use it again, and again.



PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful

because of the honesty and integrity of the participants

and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at

it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will

continue and the money that so many others have received

will come your way.



NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent

to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keeps the

notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly

providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to

wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail

theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the directions

carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for

their participation as a List Developer with one dollar

each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so

that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be

receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an

opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first

six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to

the list and you're in business!



---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS----------



Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to

do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the

beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the

bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit

menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's

memory.

Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and places your cursor

at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu

select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into

notepad so that you can add your name to the list.



Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you

want to do your postings in different settings, you'll

always have this file to go back to.



Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try

searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message

boards, chat sites, discussions.)



Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article

as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter

and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the

Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as

they scroll through the list of postings in a particular

group, click the post message button. You're done with

your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have

to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after

you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for

each newsgroup!



**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE

MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT: YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF

200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from

around the world within days! You may eventually want to

rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will

receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a

name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it.

**JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE

ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**



Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 makes

the MINIMUM 200

postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons

respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00

for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my

name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an

additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and

post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5

replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now

here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a

MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only

receive 5 replies that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those

3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200

newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per

200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an

original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name

is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting

in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on

the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start

posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize

that thousands of people all over the world are joining

the internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST

LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it

really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if

the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So

what! What are the chances of that happening when there

are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are

joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are

willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to

50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those

joining the

actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and

this will really works!



THIS WORKS ALL AROUND THE WORLD. WHERE EVER YOU ARE,

YOU CAN MAKE MONEY..!! seriously, most people think this is a scam,

but you actually do get thousands of dollars out of it, it is NOT

another stupid scam,if people follow through with sending out $6, it works!!!!!



By the way, please DON'T try to deceive people by posting the messages with your name

in the list and not sending the CASH to the rest of the people already on the list, you

will NOT get any. This is the fairest and most honest way I have ever seen to share the

wealth of the world without costing anything but our time!!!You also may want to buy mailing

and e-mail lists for future cash. Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW! Also, try to

keep a list of everyone that sends you CASH and always keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure

everyone is playing fairly. Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.IMPORTANT: If you're not interested

to my article, (don't want instant cash?), please pass this message to anyone who wishes quick money. Thank you so much.

The best way I've found to deal with uncooperative people is to prosper/succeed. That is the best revenge-for lack of a better word. There are several ways in this situation that you can do that. You can find another job with an airline that has a better human resource track record. I would make sure that you talked to current employees to make sure you aren't changing jobs into a situation that is equally as bad or worse. The other thing you could do is brainstorm and start a business of your own in the customer service end of travel, using your customer service experience and skills. The last but most immediately practical thing you can do is, whenever you are serving customers is to ask them how they felt about the overall service. They probably will say the service was great but could have been done faster or something along those lines. You simply respond that it's because you are understaffed at the moment and haven't received any customer complaints or demands for more staff. However, here is a number they can call to make a complaint and request for more staff. I'm sure most customers will be more than happy to call and complain. Particularly frequent repeat customers and American customers(they usually demand a higher level of customer service than their European counterparts).

R u unionized? Maybe you should go higher up (not the supervisors) to talk about it. If u hate working like that u should get another job. There are probably other airlines that have good management & care about their employees. Do a research? Ask other employees on the other airlines if any problems regarding short staffing. I've travelled to Las Vegas and one of the staff got mad at the other staff because she was already busy catering to the wheeled chair customer but the other staff wasn't wanting to help board other customers. So I have observed how busy an airline could be. It all depends on the management>>>higher up. So don't give up complaining or talking about it...one day someone will hear & listen. Or have a customer complain about it. Just let us customers know where to complain. Good luck, smile, don't worry & B HAPPY!

Monster , Yahoo Hotjobs, Careebuilder are some of the largest job

boards, where you can upload

your resume. Since Craigslist, allows free job postings, many smaller

companies post their

vacancies on this online classifieds website. You can search for jobs

from multiple websites using

aggregators like SimplyHired and Indeed. Referrals are also becoming a

increasingly popular way to

get hired. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/emdyn

The industry is in the process of a major shakedown. There is a lot of pressure from the top to try to be profitable, at a time when costs are soaring.



Could this be a good time to look for another job with another company?



Best of success.

Take you time do the job right and if all the customers are not processed in time, your supervisors will hear from their Bosses. it is common practice in a lot of places to work their employees until they are no longer able to complete their task.

The only thing I can think to do is to go WAY over your superiors' heads and complain to the CEO.
