The people who fire a pregnant woman after telling her they wouldn't.
Jesus, who was that?!?
WWE sounds like every publicly traded/huge company. I worked for Sallie Mae for a year and a half and Punk's description of WWE isn't much different, despite wildly different jobs.
Bunch of bullshit "for the workers" that is actually done just to make the company look better. People are pushed to work even when sick and punished for taking any time off. Ridiculous management structure where no one knows what is going on. People getting fucked out of money. People encouraged to break the law if it makes money, but the company will 100% throw you under the bus if you get caught. Politics everywhere (in a fucking CALL CENTER). They will absolutely run you into the ground and shit on you for being burned out and tired and then get rid of you.
That's how all big companies work.
Truth. Well, not all big companies but most I expect. All the ones I've come across are like that sadly (as an employee you can learn to twist it to your advantage sometimes). Would be heartwarming to hear things change.
At the end of the day what matters is the bottom line, and that's the bottom line.
Why are you people so wrapped up in this "how could they fire him on his wedding day?!" it's just a day. Who gives a shit about the date? If it's time to go, it's time to go.
Getting married is one of those days you'll remember for the rest of your life, a happy moment. Like the birth of your child.
To have a constant reminder that your employer waited months and months to fire you, after being suspended and then left in limbo, then established that you would both discuss your future together once this once in a lifetime event was finished, only to have a document express shipped to your door on your wedding day would leave an incredibly sour taste in your mouth.
Fuck, my sister gave me attitude on my wedding day and I still remember how fucking selfish it was for her to try and make that day all about her rather than us.
If he happened to walk out the day before his wedding and they fired him the next day that would be understandable. For them to pick that day months later after leaving is petty as fuck.
The whole independant contractor thing is super interesting. Must be a 'you get the oppourtunity to work for x dollars at events you get called up to on a casual basis' for the most part.
EDIT: Fuck this was all a work by you wasn't it Vince? >_<
I do think it's funny Vince "suspended" him and it lasted until the day after WM. You could tell Vince wanted him to be the big night after WM surprise.
I thought that was more of a "Fuck you, the only thing you want from me is WM main event, once you get that you'll quit so if you want it, wait till next year arsehole!".
Vince is an arsehole but he's a crafty, manipulative arsehole. Dude is at the top for a reason.
The real reason why he just now bothered to do this podcast. Carny motherfucker.
That'll put guts in shirts!
Plus he has a potential mega book deal if he wants to write about everything.
Even with last nights podcast he could probably still get a good deal with one of the shoot interview places.
No idea why they don't allow sponsorships on the aprons, really.
Too worried about getting blood on it probably.
By the way, December thread is complete and will be posted up Sunday night.
Awesome work! Any chance of a tease?
hope the cm punk chants get louder after all this now
Would prefer them to chant 'union'. It would get muted but at least it would piss WWE off.
