What the new moon promises, the full moon delivers [View all]

I think of the new moon as the time to plant seeds of intention. Things don't always bloom by the full moon, but it certainly helps get things going. Last month it took place in taurus, so I focussed on wealth and abundance. Shortly after the full moon, I was told to call my supervisor when she returned from a day trip to schedule my training at hospital #2.

This new moon takes place in Gemini at 2:40 est -- in about 15 minutes or so. The focus is on knowledge and wisdom. I'm planning to sit in meditation asking for info, but I think most of my questions are already answered. On a mundane level, at my customer service job we are all failing in quality. I got put on 1st level written warning yesterday. Why -- I asked -- if quality is so critical, did they fire the quality team and not replace them 2 years ago? Fire the "floor walkers" who gave us support last year? Reduce head count so managers and leads are often unavailable to support us? And why did our largest client also replace their experienced, in-house customer support people from their other division over the last year with newbies who don't know any of the processes and procedures?

My answer came last night: because "quality" is a red herring. They have been quietly, steadily downsizing, starting with the witch hunt that enabled them fire 3 people last year for "abusing" the private message system. It's really about money. The client's business is shrinking and they are looking for any cost savings. We have fewer people, but take the same number of calls.

But since Maine is an employment at will state, why the need for the ruse? The answer: so they won't have to pay unemployment. If they can fire with cause, they get out of paying unemployment. So they are setting up everybody who supports my client, and pretty much everybody else (I'm one of the last to go on written warning. others have been on final warning for ages) to be dumped without notice. They are already experimenting with using temps at $8/hour on special projects.

On a personal note, I asked why my dream remains out of reach. Answer: it is too soon. And I realized I am in final preparation stage.
