haha, isn't it crazy how just 1 day could make it seem that much better?!

I need to get out of here. We have new management. He could give a **** about his workers. As long as he looks good. He is very 2 faced, tells one thing to you and then tells the opposite to someone else. Basically just tells you what you want to hear. I don't put up with that crap. Especially in cases where it's my butt on the line.

My biggest problem, the contract is totally screwed up. he came in and forced everyone to work "contracted hours" rather than every shop working 12hr shifts 24/7. Now, most shops are only required to cover 12hrs total so they have anywhere from 3-6 guys just sitting aorund. they can't even get on a computer. But then, my section is contracted 24hrs, so with manning, we have to work 3 shifts of 8hrs/day and 2 days at 10hrs so we get 60 hrs. well, I work mids so I am here ALONE for 8 hrs everyday. To me this is a SERIOUS safety issue. Not to mention that we handle COMSEC and it should always be 2 person integrity. When I brought up this safety issue with the case that, "what would happen if I were doing something and fell or cut myself bad and was bleeding out. If there was another person on shift, i would likely have a chance. if not, I die." his response "Well, we'll find you in the morning." This is pretty much how he acts about everything. That's the wrong attitude to have over here! I would have liked to knock him out right there. He cares none about us. As long as he collects his large paycheck and he stays under the radar.

Another situation, we had got attacked and were taking accountability. We had 2 guys that had gone to do some work at one of the gates. They didn't report in after an hour. He said "they went to the gate, they're ok, we're accounted for." I had a major objection to this! We knew no more that they were at the gate and fine, as they could have been laying somewhere between here and there bleeding to death. What the hell is hte point of accountability if it's not going to be done correctly?! If we get attacked and I don't report in.. you DAMNED well better find me!!!

I gotta get the hell out of here before one of these reckless fools kills someone! I'm more worried about my own people doing something stupid than a bad guy getting me! That's pretty sad!
