I was wondering what my Iboats brethren think about this.
I recently FINALLY got a job. I'm a hangar manager for a corporate jet hangar at a nearby airport. I'm responsible for all aircraft movement in and around the hangar as well as upkeep of the facility, etc etc etc. I also got a side job working on one of the hangar owners airplanes, doing light stuff.
Well, this new hangar manager job requires a cell phone. Prior to having this job, I didn't have a cell phone. I didn't want one, didn't need one. Well, my boss and I came to an agreement that since the job required it and I didn't have one to begin with, he would cover the full cost of the phone and plan. Well, I told him since he was doing that, to set me up in his office with a phone (corded, land line) and I would call around and find the cheapest plan that would satisfy the needs of the job. So for 2 hours I went back and forth doing just that. I finally found one for 59.99 a month unlimited text and mobile to mobile. The total cost with all the FCC fees and bull**** is 67.01 per month.
Well, now my boss is saying that he never agreed to FULL cost, only to 63 dollars a month. (where he got that number I will never know because I said it would cost 59.99 a month, not knowing about all the little fees) I reminded him about our deal and he said "Well the phone is a requirement of the job, you gotta try to meet me in the middle." I finally just said ok, fine, I'm not going to fight you over 4 bucks a month.
I still think it's pretty ****ty of him to go back on his word like that. I mean.....we had agreed that since I didn't have a phone and the ONLY reason I would have one was this job, that his company would pay for it. Now he's saying he only agreed to 63 a month. Well, this month is the month where the activation fee hits, 114 bucks total, he's only paying 63. I know I have no legal grounds to go after him, but am I the only one that thinks that's pretty damn ****ty of him? He is a multi-millionaire, and won't pay the final 4 damn dollars each month. Basically I work for free for 15 minutes every month to pay for a phone I don't want. This does not include the 50 bucks I'm tagged this month for that ****ing phone.
Remember, this phone, per agreement, was not supposed to cost me a DIME.
This was more a rant than anything. Thanks for hearing me out.
