3) I DID NOT DESERVE THIS
FRIDAY, April 15, 2005, 15:30 hrs, as I entered my area to start my shift:
...what came next I did not see coming until I got it--- I was in for a shock and terrified for my life!!!
...as I arrived, my Second Level manager with two security-guards intercepted my entry into our breakroom then sat me aside and told me I had done 83 voice-mails during the week, and that I must go with these people, no option!!!...
...was this a "shock tactic"???, because it DID put me into sudden shock and total fear!!!...
...really 83 voice-messages??? , was that an exaggerated number, 83??? , (seemed to me 33 was more like it) but 83 in a week?!? ---no way, because I was NOT doing 11 to 12 voice mails per day during that week (10 or 12 on one or two of the days but not everyday, somedays only 1 or 2)--- even if 83 was correct, the job I was applying for seemed a bit important, so for me LOTS of communication via voice-messages seemed to be needed (if 83 was even correct), but I rather doubt I did 83 voice-mails during that week, and if so what harm could this have possibly been? maybe some annoyance to the hotline listener(s)?, and is there a set number of voice-mails allowed? and was 83 wrong? had I violated some rule?, and how-come no reply until then?--- each voice mail I had asked to be contacted, and gave easy ways to contact me; and until then my entire motivation was to give my best efforts to help Boeing...
...but regardless, my Second Level Supervisor (some lady who knows nothing about airplanes, nor much else) insisted that "I needed help, and that I needed to go with these people"--- and she would not allow any other outcome--- there were security guards waiting to haul me off!!!...
...it was my worst nightmare scenario!!!...
...this group drove me straight down to Boeing Medical to see the EAP Head (Employee "Assistance" Program) he looked like the typical "shrink" with the wierd mustache and goatee (and he knew nothing about airplanes either)...
...when we arrived at the EAP's office area, as I was being escorted in, there were many Security Personel waiting in various corners, AND we passed a nurse preparing a "needle"!!! (WHAT was I getting into?!?)--- when I saw all that, my neck-hairs stood up!!! I thought was I about to be held down by security and forced-drugged if I got out of line!!! ---I was in stark terror!!!...
...Wow, was THIS the REAL Boeing ???...
...I remained calm, fortunatly; I didn't get the needle at least, and no security guards needed to sack me...
...The EAP Counselor asked a few questions and pretended to listen to one or two of my answers then said "that's it", said I was "unable to work", and then forced me go on a "recommended" but Involuntary Leave Of Absence (ILOA)to see "Outside Providers" (shrinks) to clear me back to work, "but if you don't you're terminated"...
...(side-notes) I've heard from many sources that being labled as a "nut job" from shrinks is almost always fatal, because a shrink's Diagnostic And Statistical Manual labels every human action as some form of "mental-illness" (espesially being creative with ideas, ie: "thinking outside the box")--- and once you get into a shrink's hands 97 percent of the time they drug you by force, in which case you really do end up as a total a nut-job; as an example look closer at every homeless bum on the street, you will see a direct product of shrinks...)
...I have never done any drugs (except for the DayQuil then) , I never smoked and I rarely drink, which means I'm possibly more clear-headed than most people, which is likely how I can come up with lots of ideas; most of my "ideas" are fueled by observing what is needed or wanted and then merely re-arange what already exists...
...needless to say, I was in major trouble if I succumbed to this...
...A BIG mistake on that day: I was not demanding a Union Rep, and of course they (Boeing's side) all kept saying that I didn't need one, and I was much too in shock to DEMAND on (terrified of that needle and those security guards), and they kept telling me that "you'e not being disciplined"--- but then how come I was down there then???...
...and another BIG mistake is that I'm pretty sure that I signed something (under fear of that needle) (and the shock of the entire event)(and coercion from that EAP fellow), I remember I was shaking with fear of what might happen if I didn't "cooperate"...
...so basically, I was kicked out of Boeing April 15, 2005 for applying for CEO, and for 83 voice mails on that hotline--- and unofficially labled as a "nut-job, unable to work"--- (with no pay!!!)...
...the sudden trama of being forced out of my job and no income triggered defensive reactions from myself at that time...
...(to my shame and detriment) the next few days after this I put several MORE messeges on that hotline, but I was slightly paranoid (probably a reaction to the "no job" plus cold-medicine side-effect) and I honestly thought they were then trying to kill me outright, or by bankruptcy--- and bankrupting suppliers and other companies IS a "business tactic" which Boeing uses (I've heard stories)...
...regardless, all this caused me to become very paranoid and in fear for my life, some of the "new" messages I put on that hotline were accusations and bizzar statements--- (which then and there, I DID sound like a nut-job in some ways, possibly), but if I hadn't've been kicked out to begin with, I doubt I would've reacted this way...
...by the time I was done, the Hotline mailbox was full (135 messages they said later), my phone-line was tapped, my home computer was hacked with spyware my ZoneAlarm couldn't delete, strange surveylance devices were deployed at various places around my apartment, and everywhere I walked someone followed me!!! I think I had put the entire US onto full RED ALERT status--- oh, and also Boeing (or somebody) harrassed and put total fear into many acquaintance-friends of mine!!!
...thus I had almost sealed my fate!!!
...luckily I realized this stupidness in myself only after I had said it, and I decided I had better "wise-up real quick or else"...
...by end of Aprill 2005, I had contacted two shrinks who read my case and wanted to pre-diagnose and force drugs (one said "I was manic" and prescribed some drug or other, and the other said "I was something-else" and he prescribed yet another drug); I took none and did none, there was no way I was going to succum to this episode...
...the side-effects of the DayTime cold-remedy started to wear-off shortly after the above, beginning of May 2005...
...by a pure miracle, by mid May 2005, I found a shrink who wouldn't pre-diagnose and who wouldn't force drugs; lucky for me, this shrink merely did interviews with myself, and with a friend or two as character witnesses, and his conclusion by August was that "Mike ain't Psycho, and is fit to work" (that it took until August 2005)...
...on August 8, 2005, I got let back into work at Boeing, my Release Sheet said "NO HOOPS" (no restrictions)...
...but I went April 15, 2005 to August 8, 2005 with almost no income, then our Union went on strike all through September 2005--- so 5 months of near zero income--- regardless, life for me went seriously wrong since April 15, 2005--- and I've felt like garbage ever since...
...on the positive, I think Boeing is now doing one or two of the ideas that I put on that hotline, either they were good ideas or they "thought them up on their own"--- and as of 2007 or so, it seems to be "raining money"--- just like I had said on that hotline a number of times...
...whenever Boeing advertizes (on TV commercials) that they "encourage innovation" and "welcome ideas" and "open door policy", and "fairness and Integrety in all dealings",and, and, and--- it's all a load of bull--- in 2005 even their home webpage said "Boeing does not accept unsolicited ideas"...
... In terms of Damages: EVEN IF I did a lot of voice mails, can't voice mails be deleted with probably zero costs?, how much damage is that?--- compared to myself: four months of no pay and complete collapse of all my credit and bankrupt...
...EVEN IF my ideas were totally batty, EVEN IF I sounded like a total loony-toon, the "Equal Opportunity Law" says no discriminating for race, religion, age, sex, and mental-status--- so how come Boeing discriminated?...
...Another other chilling possiblility is: that THIS was / is how Boeing operates all the time, and is how they put people away (I have heard stories of such), which is why I probably need a good lawyer to fight this (I've tried many, and I'm still hoping), but Boeing knew I was just a "working-class", thus poor, thus they knew they could get away with what they did...
...funny thing, Jan 2006, at the new-year all-hands meeting, the same 2nd Level Supervisor (the very lady who insisted I "needed help and need to go with these people"), gave a speech about "give others the benefit of the doubt", and "think positive about other people, instead of negative"...
...Oh, that Hotline is not open anymore...
...other than that I feel like a total moron, ever since...
