dress shoes to work. Some others would wear sweatpants, sweatshirts, no hosiery, sheer clothing allowing others to view underwear and believe it or not, no underwear that showed nudity, low cut shirts were worn exhibiting the partial breasts of women, and extraordinary tight pants with sometimes high heeled shoes were worn by men. These people were in violation of the corporate dress code and were constantly reminded by management of this fact. I stated to a manager that people in constant violation of the dress code should be either dismissed from their job or should be required to wear a uniform. At about this time, I applied for and was appointed as employee advocate. As many employees had complaints, I decided to gather their suggestions on ways to improve sales, compensation, and working conditions. I asked each employee in my group to personally provide a suggestion or suggestions regarding the above matters. Good suggestions were returned to me but management appeared not really to be interested in these ideas. I noticed that a considerable number of people working for this organization could not write comprehensively, creating problems when examining the history of reservations for one example. The corporation soon after began summoning some employees to attend English classes which were conducted on a regular basis during working hours. The call center contained open cubicles that required an individual to maintain full focus and concentration on the task at hand. I noticed that for some people this was difficult or became difficult over time due to the high level of noise in the area. Perhaps smaller groups contained in sound proof rooms would have eliminated some of this noise. Another practice at this corporation was to post every individual’s name and their weekly sales on an erasable board that faced each sales group. Some people seemed to be adversely affected by this practice where they believed themselves to be incompetent based on a perceived poor weekly sales performance (which could drastically change on a weekly basis) as compared to others. Some employees contributed to this feeling of inadequacy by the lower sales achievers, by teasing those with low weekly sales. Good employees seemed to quit the job likely due at least in part, to this system. In addition, some people working at the corporation acted as if they owned the office supplies, promotional materials, and other materials necessary for all to accomplish one’s job. Any request for these items, many times resulted in a nasty attitude by the designated disburser of these items. In the reservation call center hundreds of people answered inquiries from the public and secured reservations for the corporation. For most, this required sitting in a chair for seven hours daily (one half hour for lunch was granted as well as two fifteen minute recesses). Many of the chairs provided for workers were old and did not provide good back support that could lead for some, to health problems. At other jobs worked at, my complaint was the same. Leaning back on a chair, could result in toppling over. Much fighting ensued between employees to procure one of a few new or restored chairs which were intermittently made available. Towards the end of my employment with this corporation, I recognized the solution to this problem as well as the solution to the constant “fight” for office supplies. Employees may want to consider investing some personal money to purchase their own chair and office supplies thus alleviating and/or eliminating the constant “battles” to obtain these job necessities. After approximately eight months viewing a computer monitor at work and on a full time basis, I began to experience vision problems. I complained to spouse and family that my former good vision of 20/20 was damaged very quickly working behind this monitor. Others too were seen at the end of the work day departing their computer based jobs, with severely bloodshot eyes. I also began to
