"Behind every jobless call, a human drama" by Robert Gavin, Globe Staff | February 18, 2009
LAWRENCE - In normal times, this would be the slow season for Debra Riddick. The phones would ring less often. She'd have a few minutes between calls to catch up on paperwork. Her voice might get some rest.
But these are hardly normal times for Riddick or her employer, the state Division of Unemployment Assistance. Riddick, 44, of Methuen, takes unemployment claims over the phone, and any hope for even a brief lull vanished months ago.
From her cubicle in the Lawrence call center, Riddick has a front line view of the economic tidal wave washing over the state.... "It's just gotten so hard out there," Riddick said. "You feel for people, you really feel for them."
So is this story about HER or about US?!!
Since the summer, the state's unemployment rate has jumped nearly 2 points, to 6.9 percent, the highest since the early 1990s. First-time claims for jobless benefits in Massachusetts are running more than 50 percent ahead of last year, according to the US Labor Department. The total number of workers collecting unemployment in the state has also soared about 50 percent, to more than 160,000.
As a result, the phones never stop ringing in the state's call centers in Boston, Brockton, Lawrence, and Springfield....
I never got a damn dime from them, and I never call anymore. I'll bet that makes the state happy -- more tax money for corporations, Hollywood, biotechs, Israel, etc, etc.
For Riddick, though, each of these statistics has a voice....
Okay, so let's hear some of our voices, Globe.
So when callers, frustrated by long periods on hold get through, her voice, melodic and gentle, will remain unchanged as she takes them through the claim: .... The frustration typically dissipates.
Yeah, thanks for the budget cuts, guv! And the BACK-HANDED INSULT about our FRUSTRATION! Easy for a stink elite in some shit office to say.
*************************
Most callers are businesslike, says Riddick, looking to file the claims as efficiently as possible. Some crack jokes. Occasionally, one will cry.
So this IS ABOUT HER -- the EMPLOYED UNEMPLOYMENT WORKER -- and NOT about UNEMPLOYED STATE CITIZENS or AMERICANS!!
See the INSULT NOW, readers?
"You give them a minute to gather themselves," says Riddick. "You tell them to keep their chins up, to keep going."
In other words, fill them full of bullshit before movin' on!
But on this day, Riddick is delivering good news.
I really can't take it anymore, readers!
One caller with initial benefits about to expire, asks about an extension. "You're eligible for up to 20 more weeks," Riddick answers. "Oh, you're welcome . . . You're very welcome."
Yeah, let's hope that sentiment was transmitted to the other office; isn't always you know. They love for you to run hoops around here.
Another caller learns from Riddick that his first unemployment check will arrive in a day. He's so pleased, he asks for Riddick's direct phone number in case he has other problems. Riddick explains, however, that he'll have to call the main number, get into the queue and take his chances.
Yup, UNEMPLOYMENT is a GREAT EXPERIENCE -- according to the SHIT-STINKINGM FUCKING GLOBE!!!!!!
Sorry about the language, raders, but come on!!!!!!
"With any luck," she says, "you may get me again."
And with any luck, I will never open a Boston Globe or visit their website again!
And let's add INJURY to INSULT, 'eh?
"They're hired, already; Recent Goodwill class graduates get to put new job skills to work" by Erin Ailworth, Globe Staff | February 18, 2009
What, as if labor is a pain in the ass, Globe?
Your RANK ELITISM and CLASSISM is showing, stink-f***s!!!!!!!!!
They are the lucky 13.
In today's shrinking job market, a single mother, a former high school track athlete, and the 11 other members of a new Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries job-training class pulled off a minor miracle: They all found work.
Talk about SHOVELING BULLSHIT and PUSHING an AGENDA!!!!!!!!!
One of them, Ruth Lopez, 32, left her job as a cook at a local nonprofit nearly two months ago hoping to find something better. Instead, Lopez was waylaid by the economy. The single mom found herself out of a job, and has been depending on welfare checks to provide for her 2 1/2-year-old son.
"I didn't want to stay home, doing nothing, watching TV," Lopez said.
Why not? That's what politicians do.
This week, she starts a part-time job as a bagger at the Grove Hall Stop & Shop supermarket in Boston, earning about $8.50 an hour - enough to help pay bills and buy groceries, she said.
I can't even get that; I guesss I got no one helping me!
"I want to work at Stop & Shop. You can grow there," Lopez said. Eventually, she hopes to increase her earnings potential by training as a nurse or learning to work with the elderly.
I wouldn't count on that: Massachusetts Hates Its Elders
All 13 participants in Goodwill's Let's Talk Shop class last month found part-time positions at Stop & Shop, which has long teamed up with the nonprofit.
I need more than that.
Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries started in 1895 in Boston. It has now grown into Goodwill Industries International, a nonprofit well-known for its thrift stores. Like its parent organization, Morgan Memorial offers a variety of programs aimed at helping people find a place in the workforce.
The two-week Let's Talk Shop class is part of the local Goodwill's First Step program, which grew out of a collaboration with TJX Cos. in the late 1990s to train people to work in the Fra mingham-based retail giant's stores, which include T.J. Maxx and Marshalls. Last year, Goodwill's job training, placement, and career-services programs served 8,111 people from Eastern and Central Massachusetts. About 1,700 found jobs....
Those are not great odds at all.
Nevertheless, that story LEADS my BUSINESS SECTION!!!!
Keep in mind that the preceding articles were from an agenda-pushing globalist scitte sheet that said a depression would be a good idea; being poor is your fault; the financial crisis is the fault of American consumer; Boston business benefits from financial failings; financial failures are a good thing; that endless work and insecurity are a good thing; that these are the best of times; that this bear market is just like any other; that hunger is good business; has already told us what the Grand Depression of 2009 will look like; and thinks a nuclear war would be a good idea!
See you at the shit pit in the labor camp, Amurka!
You think I say that in jest, but I do not!
