Hi folks,
Some of you got carried away and started putting words in my mouth. I never said I was going to get a lawyer and sue the pants off of the County of San Diego. So please, stop lecturing me about that as if I'm the one who came up with that idea.
What I have been in the process of doing is writing a formal letter of complaint to the Registrar of Voters to express my dissatisfaction with the way my supervisor handled the situation. I am sending a copy to Human Resources with the request that they add the rebuttal to my employment file.
Extra information:
1) I feel bad that some people are making light of the fact that I'm disappointed that I lost a half day's wages. It's great that you all seem to be wealthy and have no problems, but yeah, that extra $68 does make a difference to poor people like me. In addition, I was told that I would likely be working beyond my scheduled finish of 9:30pm and having it extended to 3:30AM. So that would have been an additional $61.....not including any overtime I may have been paid. That money would have paid for a month's worth of fuel for my car or for a couple of weeks worth of groceries.
2) This may have been temporary, but it DOES affect my employment future. I am now ineligible to work the January 2005 election. In addition, as a former County employee, do you think this will look good on my record? I'm probably now going to be counted out for any jobs I apply for at the County of San Diego.
kddani, in response to a question you posed on another post: I was not a pollworker. Though, both myself and pollworkers are paid by the County of San Diego.
