Invalidate your feelings.
Yes let’s create a safe space for our ally. He needs to talk and share his own truth. We should support him and agree with him at all times. Maybe we can tweet and come up with cool hashtags.....oh wait we are on it.
Let’s take a look at a quick training video for our internet ally.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVA-Bx4rNc0

You speak truth to power don’t let wobbin and gigs and the others keep you down we are here for you.



Anyway here we go with our weekly JetBlue sucks don’t let the juicers say it doesn’t even though if they do say something we will pounce while pretending that they control the news on here. The self flagellation shall continue forever and always.

So should we make this a Friday thing? CP update Union update APC life sucks update? I like it.

Like a 2 lb hammer and a 16 penny nail, you nailed it in one post. Yes, JB sucks sometimes. So does pretty much every airline, and every job. But not every day like some try to make it out to be. What makes life worth living is what you do on your off days, and how happy you are to go back to work to support those off days.

I was happy at my last 3 jobs (most of the time) and I'm happy at jetBlue. That has little to do with any of the employers I worked for.

Good attitude. This is an easy job. And sure there’s some suck involved at times, and the company doesn’t usually get things right, but I spend a ton of time at home and get to live the life I want.

Repeat yourself much? Yes, our PS sux but I knew that before applying. Hopefully we can fix that next vote, eh?

Regardless, I live a pretty great life. I lack nothing I need, and can afford the majority of my wants.

Most of us didn't know that the profit sharing was going to be this bad, the company changed the formula to their favor very recently. As a matter of fact, during my interview PS was used as one of examples of how great the"culture" is at JetBlue.
