Vile Adam Store

Yesterday, I opened the Vile Adam CafePress store dedicated to Advance America. It features over 150 items with the tag line "I believe Advance America (Cash Advance) promotes a hostile work environment. Here is a sample shirt from the store:

 

VileAdam

I started a new twitter account @VileAdam. I am going to retell my wife's story using it. I have to admit, my motivation is not pure. Advance America made Amy's life a living hell and I cannot let it go...

Three Months to the Day

Amy started her new job today. She is very excited even though it took three month. I held off publishing this blog until she was employed again.

Laid Off

Amy was laid off today. You would not believe the relief I heard in her voice when she called to give me the news. Good Riddance Advance America!

Going Julie

Today an Advance America customer coined a new term. He or she jokingly told Amy that if they didn't get their way they were going to "Go Julie on her", similar to going postal. Julie Z. was not mortified by this but was rather proud. She remarked that she would have to use that term herself.

Late from Lunch

Julie Z. verbally reamed Julie M. today for being eight minutes late getting back from lunch. Julie Z. then took her lunch and was fifteen minutes late. Leading by example?

Home Late

It's 7:20 and Amy is not home yet. I wonder if she had a good day...

Throwing Out the Trash

A couple days ago Amy brought the trash home from her work. She didn't throw it out in the dumpster behind the center because every time she went out there was a vagrant by the dumpster. This man has evidently been picked up by the police a couple times. It was on Wednesday because when we got home we took our garbage can to the curb for Thursday pickup. We ended up just adding Advance America's trash to our own. Amy commented that the Julie's next take the trash out. We were throwing away a pizza box from Daisy's visit on the 17th.

Checking Her Out

Amy tells me that her co-workers are constantly "checking her out", especially when she wears dresses. It makes her rather uncomfortable. I'm thinking this is harassment; sexual harassment?

Magazine

The Julies were looking at a magazine while Amy finished End of Day this evening. If you want proof ask for the video; Amy says they were doing it in range of the cameras.

Cinderella

It occurred to me in the shower today that Amy is Cinderella to the Julie's ugly step-sisters. There does not appear to be a Fairy Godmother or Prince Charming in this version so far.

Trust Advance America?

Amy stated today that she does not trust Advance America and she feels that her job would be in jeopardy if she formally filed discrimination or harassment charges against Julie Z. She also stated that she feels this way since the company has not done anything to address the issues at the Longmont Center since they were first brought to upper management's attention.

The Bitch is Back

Amy came home in tears today. Julie Z. is back to her nasty ways. I have asked Amy to document the demeaning treatment she received and send it to Alan.
