Ex Employee of West Corporation Explains how this video tells his life working for Whirlpool Corporation as an Employee
This totally reminds me of my past job here in San Antonio. I worked for West Corporation as a contractor for Whirlpool. All I did was credit customers accounts for parts that were wrongfully ordered by either our representatives or our customers. Well I went through so much f'ing crap at that job I figured that I should post this video.
Let me explain the above. I was hired by West Corporation to answer the phone for Whirlpool Appliance Parts. Needless to say my best friend in the whole f'ing world got me another position with the line group to check email...after pure ownage of that job....they asked me to simply do credits. Never answering a phone call again. Well that was it. I would get a piece of paper from Whirlpool Represenatives everyday to credit there customers accounts.
David Kyle & David Reyes:
You guys are the only f'ing reason I kept this job so long. Fact being that you too were personal friends, and you knew the crap we ALL went through working for Leonard, Kelly, and Anne. Now that David Kyle is gone, I felt it only proper to let you guys know how we felt.
Ranting by David Polanco:
Well that job sucked. YES IT SUCKED. Not becouse of the job its self but becouse of the Nazi tactics of the management of the linegroup. Kelly, and Leondard. Ya thats right your trader, Lentard. Your guys need to get a life, and stop blaming people for your short comings in regards to your management skills. I did your F'ing job many of many of times, just because you wanted the weekend off...you 2 will get yours someday you putz'z.
-End Rant.
Egh, enough of that. Heres the video.
Dedication
This is dedicated to my Ex coworker David Kyle. You knew you were much better than they were, its just the matter that they could fire you at will. You and I are the only people along with JoJo and Roy Toy, that got through this together. Everyone else left. We stuck it through. It made us stronger. David Kyle you got fired in the end, and so did we but...your in a better place now. We love you.

anonymous - October 02nd, 2006 Sorry I didnt put my name its marshity Leonard used to be cool until he started thinking with the wrong head and Kelly might could have done her job if she hadnt been so busy trying to suck the head that leonard was thinking with. As for Anne 2 words DRAGON BREATH. We had some good times though like when we didnt do credits so Leonard and Kelly could lie on their reports. And when we came in on Saturday. never look back |

anonymous - October 05th, 2006 Hi david! Nice song. The rubber chicken sez hello. Non-credit person |

david - October 06th, 2006 anonymous - October 04th, 2006! Wow! Eddy the credit chicken is still there?! Awesome! Glad to see some one is till there.  Investors should feel sorry for production people at West Corporation. The pay is low, the upsales are unfair, and management always will have there favorites. If they do not like you, your job will always be in jeopordy. Employee relations at West Corporation does nothing for those in production, they blow it off as a non issue. They corner the low paid into a corner and make excuses for those in management. West Corporation if you would like to call me in for my point of view in regards to all of this please do. You have all my information and I need to state my peace. The only reason why I am typing all this is because I was not being heard by Human Resources, before or after termination. |

anonymous - November 22nd, 2006 West Corporation Sucks. They fire employee's because of line groups closing. |
|
anonymous - December 28th, 2006 Human Resources also disrespects long term employee's and they find reasons to fire 4 year supervisors because of line group closing they don't care about their employee's. |

Quality numbers .. thought we were there to serve the customer? |

anonymous - September 04th, 2007 I work at West in Niles and I like it there. They gave me a job when I was having trouble finding one, and with a little hard work I've been able to advance in the company. I've never felt like anyone was treating me unfairly. |

anonymous - December 19th, 2007 I work for the West in College Station, Tx and completely agree with you, not only dose policy suck and managment is not much better, but we even have racis managers that only promote you if you are black or gay. I work for the T-Mobile line group and have been doing the job of a Sr. Rep and even some jobs of a coach for about 6 months and still cannot get promoted, it sucks to be a white male in west college station. |

anonymous - January 26th, 2008 I used to work for WP Call center in WA state. Yeah F'in sucked! If it wasn't for my cubicle neighbor Heidi giving me caffeine pills and red bulls daily I would not have lasted as long as I did. I was a faithful employee for 2 years putting up with that shit. I'm so glad I left and I promise I will never go back! |

anonymous - March 16th, 2008 Back in November of 2006 my supervisor talked me into going to the health center to get a flu shot offered by Whirlpool Clyde,Ohio div. I explained to her that i didn't want one.She told me that because of my age it would be a good idea. She then got me a replacment worker and took me to the health center herself! A few days later i started to feel very bad.My toes went numb and the pain in my head was very bad! Finally the doctors discovered that i had contracted Guillain Barre Syndrom. (in my opinion,due to research, the vaccine caused it.) On October of 2007 Whirlpool fired me ,saying i had been off work too long. I was paralized from the illness. I never even got so much as a get well soon card from Whirlpool. But,if you read some off their news articles,they seem to say they take care of everyone. Habitat for humanity,ect...It's all good,but they screw their employees! David R. Fremont,Ohio |

anonymous - May 10th, 2008 WPLH is a joke...right KS Amy |

anonymous - May 17th, 2008 West out here in huntsville sucks shit too. sups take 3 hour lunches and when they get written up the sups write up everyone on the team 3 times. i got a pin for being one minute late from one break in A WHOLE MONTH |

anonymous - December 02nd, 2008 It's no wonder they fired you folks. I see so many grammatical and spelling errors, I would have to fire you for being stupid. I have worked for West Corp., off and on, since 1992 and am currently a "WAHE". I have never been fired or mismanaged by West Corp. It is not West's fault you cannot perform to their or the client's standards. |

anonymous - April 20th, 2009 this made me laugh! i was just fired from west in niles ohio because a customer gave me a bad survey even though i resolved the customers needs. att and west can both bend over and s#re# themselves |

anonymous - July 09th, 2009 So...I just found this site and even though I was not fired from West I have to say that it really freaks me out how many of these statements reflect my own experiences with the company. I just wanted to add to your comments how the managers that tend to break all the rules and violate agent rights end up being the ones who survive while they purposely destroy every innocent agent below them. It's amazing how you can watch management "clicks" argue and plot against each other while you are stuck in the middle. You get stuck doing all the supervisors work so they have time to "please" operations while ER stands by and looks the other way. There is no job stability, no matter what you are made to believe. You can always be replaced. If you want to keep your job, you keep your mouth shut and play the management game of pass the buck. |

anonymous - September 26th, 2009 I too work at west in Huntsville Ala. it wouldn't be a bad job if it weren't for thr anal ways CSR's are made to follow. The new rule is all 5's on a survey and you are ok, one 4 and all 4's gets you sent home with no pay. I thought the isea was to make the customwer happy but if you miss one step in the decision flow you are screwed, QA is almost impossoble to keep high, the only way you get a portion of the sales you have made is to keep you QA above 86 for 3 months. The pay is embarrasing , i won't cpmplain too much in this economy but it was this way before the economy tanked,one min late and you get a deviation, if you are sick on a Sun or Mon you get a step 3 might as well say fired. Peks there consist of getting a cup if you get all 5's or a ball or if you are real lucky and the whole diision gets above a 4.75 you get to wear jeans that day. latest thing too is you can play 1 game of wii if you get all 5's most of the time though the people that are suppose to help you are over there palying. I have never met a more hostile work enviroment and respect for the CSR's is mostly non existent. this is the only place that i have ever seen that all the employee's are looking for any place else to work so that they can leave. i work for ATT section and the rules have everyone suffering from PTSD. |
