Cast of Idiots...

Cast of Characters:

Director Bruce Rizzieri: Bruce was just appointed by the new Mayor and seems like a nice enough guy I guess. But he seems to only care about cutting budgets. Things were bad before, but now they seem to be getting worse. We realize that is important in these times to cut costs, but this guy seems to really want to gut the place and really doesn't care about the riders, drivers or blue collar workers. Seems really mediocre.

Former Director Greg Payne: This place was getting bad under Payne. He was so arrogant and always thought he was right and everyone else is wrong. He was constantly trying to screw the unions and the workers, and only seemed to really care about the few people that worked with him up in management at the ATC. Glad he's gone.

Associate Director Ken Cox: Retired...thank god! No more Ken, he was a real jerk...don't know one person that liked him.

Annette Paiz: Annette is in charge of operations. She's never at work, or when she is she's always got her kid with her. She's having an affair with Danny Gonzalez is what we hear, and has been for quite some time. She, like many that work at transit, will stab you in the back to get ahead. What a beaurocratic leech.

Keith Perry: This guy is in charge of marketing and planning, and he's a real loser. He's got like 5 ex-wives and he does whatever anyone says. Not much personality either. If we were him we'd just give up on life at this point, and it seems he already has. The guy stands around waiting for 5 oclock to hit and looks at his watch, he doesn't really do much. this guy is really just another beaureaucratic idiot.


Dennis Stump: this guy is in charge of all the facilities and really let us have it when he got power. Before Dennis, people had better hours and fun bbq's out back at Daytona. Now he's like a dictator. He gives everyone crappy hours and really is more concerned with just looking good at the ATC. Thanks for stickin' with us Dennis, we really appreciate it.

Fred Garcia: Here's another one. This guy just drives around all day acting like a big shot and sending in complaints about drivers that are total bullcrap. He's been having a affair with stephanie gonzalez for a long time too...but most people know about this.

celinda Guerrero: THis chick is the worst. She tries to screw everyone over and only get her friends hired. Btw, we've seen her out partying and she's a total slut. Also, lose some wait already and stop thinking your attractive. Your ugly and your fat. Also, our eyes tell us that Ms. Guerrero hasn't had a drivers license in about a year, due to a DWI. And now she's going to reap the whirlwind because of it...which serves her right after screwing so many employees and potential employees over, for all these years.

Randy Giron: this guy is such an eff-up. The yale facility is totally screwed up because of him, so many issues and it's mostly because this guy is such an idiot. Not to mention he regularly meets with Desiree from marketing over there, something is definitely going on with those 2, probably a sexual affair. What we here she's a idiot herself, so that makes sense.

Nick Manole: we had never seen this guy too much until lately he started coming by to put books on the buses or some other stupid thing the "marketing" department claims helps the department. this guy is really weird. we heard he is married but he's always with some guy and they act like they are boyfriends. one time one of our eyes even saw them kissing. a word of advice, go back to ATC and leave everyone a lone nick.

other issues:

union: these guys don't do anything to stand up for the workers, and that's the whole point of them! They take our dues and they don't do squat. Enough said.

salaries: we've researched it, and the private sector pays about twice what mechanics get paid. That is just not fair, and the city should do something about it. but with all the cost cutting these days because of the socalled bad economy, I guess blue collar workers will just continue to get screwed.

sleeping around: it seems most people in transit are having secret affairs, and a lot of them married. unlike the guy nick manole we mentioned, at least most of these are between a man and a woman. a lot of people who work in this department seem to think cheating on their wives and husbands with other coworkers is ok, but its pretty messed up we think.

  3. Bruce has been here only a month and your already putting him down? Cutting budgets-he is doing what he is told. He's trimming the fat and with luck, your ass willbe one of them.

    Annette Paiz? Spelling problem ther genius?

    Keith-Just mentioning his name tells me exactly where you work at.

    Fred-again he is a road supervisor. If you drivers kept your heads out of your ass, would make his job and the rest of ours much easier.

    Nick-One of the nicest guys around.

    Unions- You voted them in. They don't do anything because they can't. You send in driver reps along with them to negotiate, then the next day, damn near all of you break every rule and policy in the book.

    The get your ass in a bind and whine to the unions like a 2 year old with a load in her pants!

    If you don't like the waythings are which are much better than they were, get the fuck out! You will be replaced in a week!

  7. It sounds as if the truth hurts. If you don't want your dirty laundry aired, then I suggest you keep it away from work and let's start acting professional. It's sad that it has come to this, but retribution was inevitable, but with all the wrong doing going on during Mr. Payne's reign it was bound to happen. I hope everyone will give Bruce a chance, it is not his fault he walked into a place that had its own standards set. We are supposed to be a TEAM let's start acting like it.

  8. LOL! Ooooh! The Internet Police! I was refraining from commenting until I saw that one. ha. If you are stupid enough to believe that one, then I pray for you. I also wanted to point out that Bruce did walk in on a sh*tstorm, but at the same time I feel like Greg was a good boss and did great things to better ABQ Ride, even though he was tough at times. I think the post might be a little harsh on him. The things he had to deal with at transit would make the average man want to kill himself. I honestly doubt that Bruce can fill Greg's shoes...no matter how hard he tries. I'm sure transit employees will grow to hate him even more than Greg.

  9. Transit is dreadful problematic Department...Bruce seems to be a plasant guy let's gime him an opportunity to clean up what Payne left behind. The reason he made the better Mechanic make an apology is so that the ex director could slip out like a weasel with some decurom and not get stoned crawling his way out the back door. I think we should have! Mr.Rizzerie wanted to show he could respect everyone. Good or bad. Yes were dealing with Hitler and Stalin for years. Airing everone's dirty laundry can be influential if you send it to the right people. We were a bunch cowards who let Payne run our lives. As a Deaprtment as a whole we didnt fight against him. And stand up and say enough is enough! And because of his Hitler syndrome he was able to appoint his gang of lackeys to do his bidding;sneaking around like horde of demons. Making up his own creed. The book of Payne. Now it's their time to be scrutinized and terrified of loosing their jobs. Most of us have no desire to get involved. But if ypu dont you may lose your job. We let him mico manage us. Our fault!! As for the rumors most are true sad but true. Dont be thrown under a bus...pun intended.

  10. I personally don't know any of the other people this gentleman has insulted but Nick has always been competent, courteous and professional in all my dealings with him.

  11. As far as mechanic salaries go...The reason they get paid less is because they're lazy idiots and couldn't survive in the private sector if they tried. Sadly, that is true of most government employees, especially in Albuquerque. As much as I enjoy the ease of government union work, even I have to admit that unions have devastated government productivity in that they defend (successfully) those who would otherwise have no leg to stand on in the private sector...

  12. A lot of what I'm reading here seems really childish and reinforces what I already thought about Transit. Gossip and backstabbing that never ends.

    What do you expect from the new director when we have a new mayor who only wants to cut the budget?

    Who care if someone is gay? Please grow up.

    I had hoped this might be a place to discuss some important issues, but it all just sounds pretty junior high to me.

  14. Why are you ragging on Nick? Implying that a man is gay when he isn't and missing a man who clearly is, right Del?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yeah...who the hell cares if Nick is gay. He can do whatever hell he wants to, but how the hell can you doubt tha hes gay?! It culdn't be any more obvious! He's got a dam boyfriend! I do have a problem with his laziness and sense of entitlement, however...
    If you have a problem with the topics, try suggesting a topic instead of complaining...email eyeonabqride@gmail.com with idas. It says so right up top. I did it n they replied with a "thank you" and said they might use my ideas in a new post.

  17. "Tell me what an 'idas' is and I'll send one along you moron"

    You forgot the period after "moron". You also forgot the comma after "along." Just thought I'd point that out...
