Another Pink Slip

[ashbeeigh]

Just happened over the phone.

You all know I work for ACORN Housing. And yes they're in a world of mess.

The position I hold is a full-time temporary grant funded position, but was temporary as long as we continued to have the grant (which was in the bag as far as ACORN Housing could tell for years to come...well until...). I was assured once all this went down that they would find something for me to do (that was early September). Well, yeah, so that's not too true.

My last day is Friday.


I have interviews for two positions at other local non-profits this coming week and am waiting to hear if I will be moving forward in the Teach For America process later this week. So, it wasn't like I didn't see this coming. But, if you all could please send some good vibes and prayers my way so this lay-off could be non-existent that would be absolutely fabulous. And I promise not to be a whiny baby about my job hunt like I was last time.

Thanks!

[Imposter]

cool!

[Sancha]

I would have told them "I have a pink slip for you!" and then left.

[tlongII]

Sorry to hear that Ashbeeigh. Hopefully you will land the job you really want this time! :tu

[JudynTX]

Sorry to hear that Ash.

[balli]

I'm very sorry about what has been perpetrated against you; it's a pretty shameful thing. Best of luck going forward.

[Imposter]

what cookie cutter responses thus far.

[balli]

fuck off

[Imposter]

no worries dude, you put perpetrated and shameful in the same sentence, that makes you an instant winner.

[CosmicCowboy]

So are you gonna take a dump in your desk drawer?

Seriously, good luck with the Teach for America gig...my son did that between college and law school and really liked it.

[dirk4mvp.]

Good luck to you. Put your best clean foot out there and go for it!!

[Imposter]

Looks like that asshole you were degrading for working at Target is better off than you now, huh?

[ashbeeigh]

I haven't read that thread yet.

The Teach For America thing is a staff position, so it wouldn't be teaching (it's so hard to get in to..I know I wouldn't make it!). So...we'll see. Fingers crossed.

Thanks!

[Bigzax]

sorry to hear it and good luck, but if you start dancing, let us know!

[I. Hustle]

Hey yeah, if you start dancing then start a thread with all the info.

[EmptyMan]

I'm very sorry about what has been perpetrated against you; it's a pretty shameful thing.

ACCORN is a shameful organization.


Good luck with the hunt.

[katyon6th]

Seems like you're handling the situation as well as can be expected; good for you. And best of luck in your job search. If you need any help, let me know. I work with a few non-profits, none of which are hiring at this present time, but you never know.

[CosmicCowboy]

Hey yeah, if you start dancing then start a thread with all the info.

At this point that's probably better on a resume than working for ACORN housing.

[florige]

Hopefully you will get a call back from that interview you did last week.

Thanks, Katy. If any of them do have anything please let me know. At this point I'll pretty much do anything.

If I were you I would take that degree of your's and apply for the FBI. I mean it couldn't hurt?

[ashbeeigh]

If I were you I would take that degree of your's and apply for the FBI. I mean it couldn't hurt?

With a wonky eye and dirty feet I doubt if they would take me. :p:

But seriously, isn't there a monstrous test you have to take? And then a series of like 200 interviews to get in? I can hardly solve a Wheel of Fortune puzzle without racking my brain...and you want me to join the FBI?

[Whisky Dog]

Shame how companies expect nothing but stand up honesty from their employees yet they lie and deceive them if it's beneficial for the company to do so.

"your job is safe... We'll keep you as an asset to this company" really means "stay just a while longer cause we need you for a week/month to finish some things before we toss you out".

It's a process, but I know some guys who got in that worked with me. You're biggest problem might be the physical parts of it. But some of those guys I know that got in are idiots. You are 100x's smarter than they are. They are smarter than me because they had the smarts to go to college first though. :rolleyes

Have you tried Catholic Charities? My mother used to work there when we lived in San Antonio. She was all about the nonprofit orgs.

[ashbeeigh]

Conflict of interest much?




Actually it sounds like you would be a perfect fit! :lol

Well...maybe not then!


You're biggest problem might be the physical parts of it.

I tend to like my ability to avoid the gym and eat Halloween candy during Easter. I may pass on this....

my cousin does teach for America in the Bronx, she likes it. She doesn't know what the hell she is going to do when her contract expires or whatever they do, but she likes it for the time being. TFA sounds like a cool gig if you can get in

another interesting note her roommate is Chris Duhan's gf

That's the thing with all the Corps, service things that 17-24 year olds are doing now (and I've done one too...Summer of '07). What do you do next? Do you do just teach? Do you go in to ministry (mine was for the church)...do you do this....that...go and look for another job.... go back with the degree you graduated with?

They try hard to get you up with a network so you're set when your contract runs out...but there are so many members that it is hard to get "in" within the organizations that you network with.

With TFA I interviewed with a girl who taught in the Bronx for two years with TFA and then stayed for two years and then moved over to a staff position (I interviewed for a staff position...)..she sounded like a cool chick. The position said "flexible/NYC" so I asked and she said they wanted me to perhaps move to the City...I was like "umm...maybe?"

And PS...where's your hook up? Chris Duhan's girlfriend?

[I. Hustle]

I hear the KKK is looking for an administrative assistant.

[Crookshanks]

I'm really sorry to hear about getting a pink slip - but I think you will be far better off to not have any association with ACORN. Good luck in your job search - I hope you're not unemployed for very long.

[tlongIII]

I am really sorry you lost your job Miss Ashbeeigh. I know you'll find something soon. Like my dad always says "If at first you don't suck seed... then try try again".

[boutons_deux]

The Repugs and their rabid mob are clearly to blame for Ashbeigh's job loss.

Acorn's "faults" were:

1. registering 1 million+ low income voters, who mostly vote (if they vote) as Dems.

2. fighting banks and private lenders for their predatory lending practices.

3. fighting for better wages and job conditions for low-wage employees.

All of these pissed off the Repugs and conservatives.

The Repugs and conservatives are more interested in hard-ass partisan politics and disenfranchising citizens than in respecting the Constitution and having any semblance of ethics, fair play, or good will.

I want to run that program- from picking the corps members, to the fund-raising, to picking the sites, to setting up the community events...but..at this point I'll do anything that comes close to that.

[thispego]

well they're in shambles right now, now is the time to swoop in. do you have a degree?

[mrsmaalox]

Well Ash, I'm sorry about this but I'm sure you'll be okay. You may have not gotten the time there you hoped for, but the education and knowledge you've acquired there are going to serve you well for a long, long time :toast

[marini martini]

I'm going to miss your funny, bitchy rants in here about your job, but everything will be OK. Call me if you want to meet for Happy Hour!!!:toast

To be fair there have been a few stripper references thus far.

[thispego]

i thought this thread was about assbeeigh going commando and wearing a skirt one day

[Crookshanks]

I told ashbeeigh I was sorry she lost her job, but that she'd probably be better off not working for ACORN. I also said I hoped she wasn't unemployed long. So can anyone tell me what I said that was so bad that it deserved a PM like this from balli?


I'm very sorry that ashbeeigh lost her job and I hope she gets back on her feet as soon as possible.

I'm glad you got fired and hope you remain unemployed till your eventually homeless and starving. The world would be better off to not have any association with you.

You just have to pity a hateful person like that...

[Crookshanks]

it's "until" and "you're"

I hope you remain unemployed until you're eventually homeless and starving.

Geez louise

:lol Besides being a hateful person, I guess all that pot has scrambled his brain. Either that, or he never learned anything in English class.

He's been mean and hateful towards me for quite some time - and I'd had enough. Especially when he felt the need to send me a PM just to tell me he hopes I starve to death. I've never before posted a PM - and won't ever again - I just felt the need to expose this loser.

Sorry Ashley, but Junior Forum Cop at Spurstalk is not a paid position.

[katyon6th]

You should see the PMs I get... you'd probably report someone(s) to the authorities. Fucking men.

[Crookshanks]

Are you talking to me? If so, you've got the wrong gender. :rolleyes

[katyon6th]

Are you talking to me? If so, you've got the wrong gender. :rolleyes

No, dear. I was referring to the assholes who send me PMs.

[BacktoBasics]

So uh I should stop filling up PM boxes with cock shots? Thought you guys loved my PM's.

[balli]

Let's see. Crookshanks lends her full-on ass ignorant support to a vicious, nihilistic, morally bereft and often violent political movement. This political movement conspiratorially destroyed ACORN because ACORN had the audacity to provide services for poor and black people. This was also motivated by vehement, race based hatred for our sitting president.

So in effect, crookshanks indirectly cost ashbeeigh her job, then came in here and told ashbeeigh she was better off for it. And really, I'm not even offended on ashbeeigh's behalf- she should be, but I'm more offended on behalf of decency, morality and what was once a great country.

The only difference between what I told crookshanks in a PM and what she said to ashbeeigh in this thread is that I actually some shit outright, while she was subversive, cowardly bitch about it. (And y'know, another difference? My politics didn't cost crookshanks her job. Unfortunately she can't say the same about herself and ashbeeigh)

My only regret in sending that pm is that I was too pissed off to use an apostrophe- well that and the fact that crookshanks is too fucking moronic and subversive to know that the p in pm stands for private.

So yeah, you fucking bitch, I'd like to re-iterate publicly: starve.

[I. Hustle]

No, dear. I was referring to the assholes who send me PMs.

Everything I say to you I say in front of everyone.

I am kind of curious as to the content of these pm's though.

[balli]

I mean seriously- I saw your "I got fired" thread crookshanks. I said to myself, "boy I hate crookshanks and it would be nice to lol at this, but you know what, she doesn't deserve me going in and gloating. It's just politics" So I just left well enough alone. I didn't tell you that I was glad you lost your job. I wasn't even glad.

Then a week later I opened up ashbeeigh's pink slip thread to see you, crookshanks, basically tell her that you're glad she got fired. Have you no shame, you fucking scum?

[thispego]

ROFL
upset much?

[clambake]

skanks got schooled.

[balli]

ROFL
upset much?

I wasn't really until she dragged my pm into a public thread. Like ash said, there's consequences for that kind of BS.

[I. Hustle]

Who cares? You guys take the internet too seriously.

This is not a thread for you and I to argue - but let's set the record straight you ignorant pothead. I DID NOT get fired - the company is closing and moving our jobs to Denver. And I had NOTHING to do with Ash losing her job - that was the fault of the idiots at ACORN who were caught on tape. I'm sorry Ash lost her job, especially in this economy. However, with all the scandal associated right now with ACORN, I said I thought she'd be better off in the long run by not being associated with them. BIG DIFFERENCE - but one you're obviously too stupid to see. I never said I was glad she got fired. Also, there was another poster who agreed with me - did you send them a PM also? And no - you don't get to hide your vile hatred of me behind a PM. Now just shut up and go away and leave this thread for those who have something nice to say.

[balli]

I had NOTHING to do with Ash losing her job
Bullshit. The brand of political evil you subscribe to and support had EVERYTHING to do with Ash losing her job.

[panic giraffe]

^like i said, ash should sue some teabagger's...beck's last book alone should help pay all the new unemployed because of what he started...but he'll only have the nerve to say it's obama's fault unemployment is rising...

and i don't know ya crook or balli, but a simple "sorry about your loss, hope you get back on your feet soon because you're a great fellow human being" leaving out the politics would have probably been more sincere and would have prevented balli's pm...but that's just my 2 cents...

[balli]

Aw come on I.Hustle, you know what goes down in PMs here :lol I'm not speaking on behalf of any other female here (but I know it happens to others because we've talked about it) but there is never a lack of requests for boob shots (or more) in any PM box! :lol
It's pretty humorous really :lol


Who cares? You guys take the internet too seriously. Abso-posi-lutely!!

[ashbeeigh]

Sorry Ashley, but Junior Forum Cop at Spurstalk is not a paid position.

Can I put it down as Volunteer experience?

[I. Hustle]

I need to step my game up. I have yet to ask for any boob shots through PM. Don't worry ladies I am looking to fill your boxes very soon ;)

[to21]

Abso-posi-lutely!!Ohhhh and here I've been asking in the Quattro, I needed to send a PM huh?

[ashbeeigh]

And seriously, yes, if I ever in my life saw James O'Keefe I would kick him so hard and so fast in his balls he would be the second coming of Michael Jackson.

I believe in the things ACORN and ACORN Housing is and will continue to do. I won't turn my back on the organization. I'm not a hateful person, even if I say a few hateful things there and there here...I feel sorry about them a few days later.

There are bad apples, and probably more bad than good...but the roots of both organizations are good ones. And that's what I choose to believe. And everyone is entitled to their own opinions. And that's fine. And it probably is a good thing that I'm leaving sooner than later. I just wish I was the one to decide to leave instead of the other way around.

Now, continue on with your PM battles.

[Fpoonsie]

And to think, I used to AVOID Spurstalk.

:lol Wow.

Btw, I had ORIGINALLY intended to simply come in here and post a sympathetic, well-wishing response...but CHRIST, this thread sure derailed. Love it.

Edit: Dammit, almost forgot. Sorry Ash. Hope ya find somethin else real soon.

i'm sorry that crookskanks is happy you got fired.

[Crookshanks]

YOU LIE!

I may not be a fan of ACORN - but Ash believed in what she was doing and I'm sorry she's not going to be able to continue there. There is a legitimate need for the work Ash was doing and I hope she's able to find something comparable in another organization that isn't under fire for corruption.

[clambake]

you should be more considerate of her feelings, since you just got fired.

[to21]

^ :lol

Put another log on, why don't ya.

[mrsmaalox]

Somebody must have left the gate open at the Political Forum, cuz all the poo flingers have escaped and are wreaking havoc.

[Crookshanks]

you should be more considerate of her feelings, since you just got fired.
Now you're just being deliberately obtuse. Neither of us "got fired". Both our jobs ended - hers because of grant money, and mine because the company is closing the Ft. Worth office. But if it makes you feel like a big man - go for it. :rolleyes

[clambake]

i called. they said they weren't really closing the fort worth office.

[BacktoBasics]

Wow - really? That's a huge surprise for the 150+ people who've already received their severance packages and the HR people who are trying to figure out how to conduct 100+ exit interviews all in the same day. :rollin

So can I sue them for lying to me - and putting it in writing? :p:

[balli]

This is not a thread for you and I to argue.
It really makes ya wish there was some sort of a private messaging feature on these here internets. Too bad.

[Crookshanks]

Nah - why deny all these fine people the entertainment we're providing?! :lol

[mrsmaalox]

nobody posts in the political forum anymore except whottt and boutons

Would that be Boutons-une, or Boutons-deux? I don't believe there is a Boutons-trois.

[Big P]

Best thing that could happen, the sooner you got out of that disgusting excuse for a non-profit, the better. Best of luck in the search.

[DarkReign]

Seriously, good luck with the Teach for America gig...my son did that between college and law school and really liked it.

Back-handed compliment of the day winner right there, folks.

[ashbeeigh]

Back-handed compliment of the day winner right there, folks.

:lol It was. Too bad HR e-mailed me last nigh and said I didn't make it through to the second round. I over prepared for the interview. I stumbled a lot. Oh well.

[CosmicCowboy]

Back-handed compliment of the day winner right there, folks.

It ain't braggin if you are stating facts.

[Horn Tooter]

It ain't braggin if you are stating facts.

That's what I tell my son when he calls from Europe while on break from medical school.

[ashbeeigh]

It ain't braggin if you are stating facts.


Geez. Now I can see why people get so upset here.

You were just saying, oh btw, my son did TFA and it was a good program. I never said anything other then "I had an interview with them." And now this has been turned in to "My son is better than ashbeeigh" thing..just like CrookShank's was "glad I was fired because i worked for ACORN."

I wasn't too stoked about TFA anyway. I asked how many applicants they had for the particular position i interviewed for and she said there were 200. It was iffy if I got a second interview. Whatever. On to the next one...where I can stay in San Antonio.

[mrsmaalox]

You should see the PMs I get... you'd probably report someone(s) to the authorities. Fucking men.

I don't get those anymore.

It's a relief, to be sure, but I'd by lying if I claimed my inner attention whore wasn't a bit bruised by it.

Now Katy you know I have never sent you a PM! :nope

Just happened over the phone.

You all know I work for ACORN Housing. And yes they're in a world of mess.

The position I hold is a full-time temporary grant funded position, but was temporary as long as we continued to have the grant (which was in the bag as far as ACORN Housing could tell for years to come...well until...). I was assured once all this went down that they would find something for me to do (that was early September). Well, yeah, so that's not too true.

My last day is Friday.


I have interviews for two positions at other local non-profits this coming week and am waiting to hear if I will be moving forward in the Teach For America process later this week. So, it wasn't like I didn't see this coming. But, if you all could please send some good vibes and prayers my way so this lay-off could be non-existent that would be absolutely fabulous. And I promise not to be a whiny baby about my job hunt like I was last time.

Thanks!

Next time your pink slips, let me know!

It ain't braggin if you are stating facts.

Yeah, well, your timing sucks. But you knew that when you wrote it. Which says more about you then it does your son or Ash.

My aren't we sensitive. She said she was trying to get on with TFA. I said my son had done a TFA gig and really liked it. I really don't see the big deal.

Incorrect. More like just a drive-by comment, considering context and everything.

Good luck! 3 of the 4 members of my family are currently looking for a job. It's tough out there, but an interview is a really good step :)

Good luck! I used to volunteer at the NW version when I lived in Seattle. Some really great people there, hope the same is true here!
