I might as well have been fired. I was suspended. The reason I was suspended is because I refused to wear a bra and I was in a bad mood. Please note: This did not reflect over the phone to customers. To them, I was cheerful (I received comments as such), friendly, helpful, etc. All the things a good reservations clerk should be. Let's face it, I don't have boobs worth talking about. We're talking about a 52-A bra that doesn't exist. My back is huge, my boobs are smaller than most men's pects that I know. I've been given a 3 day suspension (comes to the rest of the entire week) because they don't make a bra that fits me and I refuse to look like a retard. I got in at 3:00 am this morning in a fairly reasonable mood. The last month or so has been getting on my nerves. I'd gone from "walking on water" to "swimming in lead" at work -- let's face it, I was on the boss's shit list because I did something that I wasn't properly trained to do incorrectly. Anyway, I sat down to do bus summaries for the busses that were coming in today and for the next two weeks. That's a laugh. I have to struggle to keep one week out. Not because I'm slow, mind you, but because the damned bus companies send in their fucking changes every single day up to the last second! For the first four hours, everything went fine. However, at 7:00 am, the supervisor came in in a bad mood. She's been having problems with the company not wanting her to go out with her security guard boyfriend because she's a "suit" now. Big fucking deal, it's not her right to take her mood out on me. I had one summary that had to be done for that day, and I didn't find out about it until almost 7:20. Ohgeeohgollywow! I was supposed to stop working on the damned things at 7:00 am, but, as everyone knows, there are exceptions to everything. I told her I needed to do the summary, and she started lecturing me about having to be done by 7:00. I told her that I didn't find out about it till 7:20, and the bitch told me that it wasn't her fault. I was in no mood for this, so I told her it wasn't mine either, but it had to get done. She started bitching about it at me, so my final response was "shit happens" (note: She's trying to get me canned by claiming that I told her to kiss my ass. Well, at this point she *CAN*!!!!), and I went to do the summary. About 11:00 am, I get called into the manager's office and ripped a new asshole about being insubordinate about telling the "wicked bitch of the west" to kiss my ass (which, as I just stated above, I didn't do), and because I had mentioned something to someone about the Hilton's SUPPOSED policy of having to wear a bra (the actual line is "proper undergarments") was "sexual discrimination", and that I would wear one when the men had to because I didn't have enough boobs to deal with one. I started to tell her the problem with the bra, and she interrupted me and told me to listen and called me insubordinate to *HER* for wanting to defend myself. Fuck her. I was not being insubordinate. She wants insubordinate? Fine. DO NOT STAY AT ANY HILTON HOTEL BECAUSE OF THE BULLSHIT WAY THEY TREAT THEIR EMPLOYEES. I'm tired of having brown lips (from kissing her goddamned ass!), and I refuse to do so anymore! She *CAN* kiss my ass, and so can the entire management of the Flamingo Hilton in Laughlin Nevada!!!! I'm using my suspension time to look for another job, as 31.5 hours low on my paycheck is something that my son and I cannot afford. I am a single mother, and she is taking away from my bills. I don't really feel like being thrown out of my house, nor do I feel like losing the phone, water, gas, electric or cable (there are a total of 3 channels that TRY to come in without the fucking cable). That means my kid doesn't eat. I don't care if I eat or not...but she's taking food from an 8 year old, and I won't stand for it. I reach out to anyone and everyone who reads this to please contact the Flamingo Hilton in Laughlin at 1-800-FLAMING and ask for Gary Gregg. Tell him that Kate Regalado is a poor manager because she shows extreme favoratism and prejudice in her department, and that the general moral of the entire department has suffered for it. Don't bother telling him where you heard it from -- I'm the only BBSer from the Flamingo, and, until I find another job, I'd like to keep this one. What I'm typing is not libel or slander, it is the honest truth. I have heard from over 3/4 of the department complaining about Kate, Shannon, and Patty. I've been out in the work force for over 16 years now, and have never had stress so bad that I had to get tranquilizers to keep me from punching out a supervisor. Nowadays I'm on Xanax. This has been going on for over a month, but this bra thing has me pissed. I'm going to the ACLU to sue the Hiltons and her personally on a sex discrimination charge. Wish me luck.
