Best worst parking job

It's a victimless douschery but a douschery nonetheless. People have been brought up, by this parker, probably, to just not do that which they don't want to do. You know like park within the lines, stop at red lights.

Please open your eyes, douschery perpetrators. There is a wide world, full if people to park for; to stop for. Welcome.

Dear "Charlotte"'s Supervisor:

On July 12, 2014, at approximately 9:05 a.m., I was treated rudely by an EDD employee who gave me her name as Charlotte. She would give me no other identification and would not transfer me to a supervisor. When I asked her to spell her name she said, "I'm not gonna spell my name. If you can't spell my name that's your problem." She then hung up on me mid-sentence. My original complaint to her was to stop interrupting me, which she had none repeatedly and to my frustration. Her answer was to "quit yelling at me," which was not what I was doing. You must understand that it is difficult enough to accept assistance while unemployed but to be treated rudely and then chastised for standing up for myself is beyond rude. It is mean. It might be difficult to change behavior as I have no way of knowing what her real name is. I believe she was using the system to keep my voice from being heard. This is, again, beyond rude, and beyond mean. It is vindictive. Because of this rude treatment, and because I feel “Charlotte” was going from rude, to mean, to downright vindictive; I can no longer trust anything she said to me during the phone call. This includes her name, and anything she promised to do. In short: I don’t believe that, during my call for help, “Charlotte” treated my claim inappropriately. Unfortunately, my attempts to contact the EDD via telephone were met with a message about high call volume followed by the call being disconnected. I gave up after five calls. I would very much like to ascertain that the documents that “Charlotte” said she would re-send have indeed been re-sent, and that nothing negative has happened to my unemployment claim e.g. that it has been closed. I would like assurances that my claim is in good standing and would like “Charlotte” located and made aware that Kevin Six was not pleased with her service. I would also like to know what the standard operating procedure is when a client wants to make a complaint. Are we to be told, “that’s not my problem,” and be hung up on; or is there a better way to handle people who feel they’ve been treated rudely? Thank you for your time and attention to this matter; your quick response – and corrective action, if necessary; and for assurances that this matter will be taken care of in the future. Sincerely, A person who will never stop complaining about rude people who's work my taxes support.

Rudeness at the Cal. EDD

Can you imagine?

When you are unemployed, you have to accept a lot of things. You have to except that you need assistance.

When you have a claim that is fouled up you have to accept more things. That you cannot complete a very simple form for one. And you have to ask for assistance.

This is a humbling, if not a humiliating process. The humiliation sometimes comes from an employee of the State. When you talk to a horribly rude employee of the state of California, who gives you no recourse to complain about her behavior, it is maddening.

So, Charlotte, from the State of Califonnia Employment Development Department, thanks for making me feel small. I hope you are living a life that will take you out if the dark space you're in.

Working at the fair.

Dropped off my thank you note at the special events office, and asked them to call production to get the sound system after five ( to be safe). Showed up for the first show and the sound system was gone. Production had to remove the sign with today's show times on it -- and put it back -- to get the sound system.
