So...I called The Bee AGAIN -- the 916 number, and talked to Hans Lee. He checked and double checked and talked to his supervisor and ASSURED me that Sac Bee would no longer be delivered in the 95959 ZIP code beginning Nov. 1. I asked about the letter I received from Foothill News saying not to believe what The Bee tells you. He said not to believe what Foothill News tells you. What?! Then it dawned on me..."Where are you, Hans?" He told me The Philippines. I asked for a number in Sacramento and he gave me one -- anxious to get rid of me and my insistance that something was rotten in Denmark. I called Sacramento and got Todd. Told him the whole saga. Todd let out a loooong sigh, and said, "We just can't get them to get this right." Them? The customer service reps in Manilla. Todd said they've called, they've e-mailed, they've talked to the head of everything and the folks in Manilla keep insisting that Nevada City and Grass Valley are being cut off. Todd says they're not. Todd says from Newtown Road out to North San Juan, Downieville, etc. is eliminated. So, we've got Todd, Hans, Foothill News and moi trying to figure this thing out. Todd sounded quite frustrated and at this point I believe him. Unbelievable. I asked him to please tell his superiors that outsourcing is apparently not working well in this case.
I am a bit at a loss to see the connection between the job she was doing, and her behavior in regards a child. If she did something illegal with her child, wouldn't it be up to a court to decide what to do? My ex of 35 years ago managed to get a social worker from her church (found this out much later)on the case, and some nasty and very untrue stuff was said, and my child intimidated and tramatized by it all, but never in all my days would have it occurred to me that my employer could then turn around and use a few lies to fire me!
