What an idiot. Yeah, Jef is a customer but he claims to know how other workers (management) feel. What an idiot.

Thu, 14 Jul 2011 03:01:00 +0000 http://calendar.diygr.org/?p=42#comment-29 After reading "Jef's" comments, I must say that anyone, any rational person, whether they support the IWW or not, after reading them could only come to one of two conclusions, that a) "Jef" is indeed actually Tom or a member of the Jimmy John's management, which would call into question the integrity and ethical conduct of the management, if one of them lies about their identity in order to leave rude and insulting comments ("douchebags", "non-thinking ignorant sheeple", "incompetent fool", "you suck", etc.) on this webpage; or that b) one or more members of the Jimmy John's management provided private employee information ("a write-up which he signed and dated", "which were clearly stated on initial hiring paper-work which he also signed and dated", "he lied on his application and interview") to non-Jimmy John's personnel - a customer apparently - which would also cast a seriously negative light on the integrity and ethical conduct of the Jimmy John's management. You really dug yourself into a hole with this one, "Jef". So, which will it be, what's the story? Because, either way, you just made JJ's look really, really, really bad. After reading “Jef’s” comments, I must say that anyone, any rational person, whether they support the IWW or not, after reading them could only come to one of two conclusions, that
a) “Jef” is indeed actually Tom or a member of the Jimmy John’s management, which would call into question the integrity and ethical conduct of the management, if one of them lies about their identity in order to leave rude and insulting comments (“douchebags”, “non-thinking ignorant sheeple”, “incompetent fool”, “you suck”, etc.) on this webpage; or that
b) one or more members of the Jimmy John’s management provided private employee information (“a write-up which he signed and dated”, “which were clearly stated on initial hiring paper-work which he also signed and dated”, “he lied on his application and interview”) to non-Jimmy John’s personnel – a customer apparently – which would also cast a seriously negative light on the integrity and ethical conduct of the Jimmy John’s management.
You really dug yourself into a hole with this one, “Jef”. So, which will it be, what’s the story? Because, either way, you just made JJ’s look really, really, really bad.

The phone calls will continue! You screw with one of us and we multiply! I'm sick of people like you making life hard for so many workers. Good luck with your assholism. Just so you know I will be spreading your phone number to another 4200 people on my facebook pages. Stephanie Lewis Jef, ( If that’s your name)

Not everyone feels as you do. I will not engage in a posturing argument that just goes back and forth, never gets resolved and deters from the issue. It is futile to argue with management about why they would penalize union supporters. I stated my position above. Jef,

You are an incompetent fool. You clearly pay no attention to what you are doing if you can't even notice a regular customer in the shop you claim to do such a good job at just about every other day. How's this for "democracy" Matt, NOBODY WANTS YOU THERE. They didn't like you to begin with because you were a bad worker, they were nice enough to be tactful, now you pull this stunt on them, you'll be lucky if one of them don't decide to post YOUR number all over the internet. Stop your lies. You are lying. You were fired because you suck, not because you were organizing a union. Matt. You are an incompetent fool.
