Alyeska - A Fucked Up Organization

OK, this shall be the END of my pipeline storyline! I have penned enough pages, this “Uncle Al’s Closet” BLOG my testament directed towards a perverted “Corporate” culture, that which could be published as a novel. And anybody that has taken the pleasure, on the other hand pain & suffering as the truth can hurt, to read the “TRUTH” get over it I am very outspoken about that “UNION”. Why not, as it was the underlying curse upon the sabotage of my career with the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company. A career that a past supervisor once quoted: “…he has the potential to advance far within the company(1984)”. Let’s face the facts, my guilt in a Constitutional Right to form a “Union” was well known to the company President James P. Hermiller, that’s bad for the “Boss” and was bad for this guy. All because Alyeska’s HR “Boss” Kathy Carr told him so “in writing” highlighting the fact “While in Valdez back in the 1980-82 timeframe he was a vocal IBEW supporter” and I would not come to understand this “back stabbing” until it was way too late to save a career and the timeline, well it was known about back to the days of Frank Turpin on through the George M. Nelson reign and with Hermiller. And my “Union” activity was monitored when I went north. Too bad the “bad news bears” didn’t show early on, as I would have packed my bags and went to work for an honorable and ethical company. Here’s the bottom-line! I WAS NOT A VOCAL UNION SUPPORTER! But the Filth Floor of Bragaw had that in writing from some CUNT that got false information from a “SPY” using that fake information to climb the corporate ladder! So it must be “TRUE”. And guess what, whomever that mole in the organization that provided this character assassination garbage about me and against me my well-being, it was wrong! There was this guy in the same department as I that had a first name like mine. And a last name very close to mine. And we looked the same, beards when still permitted and he was a very vocal UNION supporter. I was not him, but the mole passed on identifying information that caught me in a guilty by “face” plot. And if this does not point to a fucked organization - and in the end when it back-fired and Hermiller got caught with a “falsehood” and I called the “Boss” on the CUNT’s bluff, I get a 5-cent apology. After all the career promotions that were mine due dedication and qualifications gone by the wayside due “Fake News” from CUNT central, after they punished me for doing a good job until I was forced to quit - an apology. How in hell Alyeska’s Filth Floor Bragaw would except an award based on the “World’s Most Ethical Company”, I guess when compared against 3^rd world organizations that still believe in slavery and NO worker rights. So in ending, don’t need to believe me, but believe in what my co-worker managers said about my character and I will challenge any ex-Alyeskan or current to surpass my performance appraisal credentials - which is based solely on “dedication” and which don’t matter how good if someone has placed a noose around your career. This is the Alyeska you worked for and maybe involved still today. BEWARE!

Subject: Commendation for Excellent Performance
Date: 11/24/86

Mike,   I want you to know how much I appreciate your

accomplishments especially during the past few months. Since being assigned to SCADA Pipeline Maintenance in September 1985, your performance has been outstanding. Your excellent background and experience in electronics plus a solid background in measurement maintenance enabled you to assume responsibility for measurement activities at PS 1 with only location familiarization required. Your professional approach to problems, ability to work well with people, and a desire to enhance equipment or system performance is a very valuable asset to SCADA.

Your talents and dedication were especially visible during the initial testing and subsequent improvements to the Lisburne Metering Module. It is quite evident that several questionable situations developed during the initial testing of this module. Your recognition of these situations and the ability to communicate your concerns brought about several days of detailed testing by SCADA personnel. The results of these tests brought about a meeting of SCADA, Projects, Oil Movements, and Pump Station Personnel on the problem.

In the final analysis it is your technical expertise and personal dedication which has ensured that we are ready to support oil in. Thank you for a job well done.

SUPERVISOR'S COMMENTS

Michael is responsible for maintaining the oil measurement and all SCADA equipment at PS 1 and PS 2. His concern for accuracy and quality maintenance has been constantly demonstrated. He has been contacted by Owner Company representatives, auditors, and manufacturer's for his counsel on Oil Measurement. He has met these contacts with skillful approach which has significantly contributed to the respect of Alyeska in Oil Measurement, While doing this he has maintained all normal SCADA equipment while on shift. During this period he contributed significantly to the replacement of the Oil Measurement equipment for ARCO and SAPCO producers, assisting in the design, replacement, and commissioning. As a Level VI I can offer no suggestions for improvement or development. In addition to all this Michael is responsive to any request and a pleasure to work with.

SUPERVISOR'S COMMENTS

Mike was transferred from the SCADA dept. to the Pipeline Operations Dept. at the beginning of this reporting period and was assigned the responsibility of Lead Technician for measurement maintenance. In this position he has the responsibility to train the other measurement technicians and to establish and organize the metering maintenance effort. He has directed a lot of energy into the maintenance of the measurement systems. It must be emphasized that Mike is a top-notch technician that can be relied upon in any situation and with the responsibilities of Lead Technician come broader responsibilities to training and organizational effectiveness.
