\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I doubt many people like their bosses but the hatred I\u2019ve seen openly expressed by ABS employees towards management is shocking.<\/p>\n

I remember once hearing that a manager was walking ahead of an employee on the stairs presumably drunk and leaning back as if they may tilt over and the employee said they were more than ready to step to the side to allow the person to fall back to their doom.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Many employees constantly express their utter disgust towards management who they see as oppressors with some openly talking about unsettling thoughts they\u2019ve had.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It\u2019s unfortunate that thoughts that we often hide in the corner of our minds and wouldn\u2019t dare to share much less at a workplace become the uniting hymn among employees at ABS.<\/p>\n

Workers at ABS openly share these views because they know at this point\u2026 other people must feel the same way.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Let\u2019s remember, workers have not been paid overtime or holiday pay for YEARS and have to go to court for what is rightfully theirs.<\/p>\n

In some instances when something is before the courts, there is a stay on certain matters but imagine management has the heart to send out emails on holiday work rosters knowing the people they are putting down to work are owed for YEARS and then the Minister of Labour has issued threats about the duties of essential workers to keep employees in line.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Let\u2019s call to remembrance that workers were transferred to other departments for saying they were fearful of COVID- 19 spread in a crowded studio and made posts on their own personal Facebook accounts about it.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Let us not forget that these people have denied workers much-needed vacations time and time again pushing people to burnout.<\/p>\n

Employees have been shamed for going home when there\u2019s no running water in the building.<\/p>\n
