Clear eyes. Wading in the duality of non-dualism. Equanimity, environmental stewardship, global citizenship.

Called 22 times today. Applied for PUA 4/30. Finally got through put on hold, 38m wait to get agent, poor connection-I think she was asking what message I received after applying (received 0 messages) back on hold, agent hung up. Called 5 more times, message says call later.

@WasteManagement WHY ARE YOU STILL BILLING MY COMPANY! YOU PICKED UP THE CANS AND ARE THREATENING LATE FEES? I can't even get a decent response from your CEO! #corporatebully #wastemanagementisgarbage

@CA_EDD Applied for PUI April 30th, have not received a single response by mail or online. Why can't we access applications/records in portal? UI online is not a resource for information or communication and the phone lines are impossible. I have been without income since March 21st.

I have been in communication with WM since March, including @jimfishwm This is not about frustration its about ethical business practices and a call to action for WM to support our small business in these hard times and address the legitimate concerns regarding WM contracts.

How many other businesses are suffering from this business relationship A.K.A. con? Easy solve... change your contracts #corporategiant and shift your principles to care for #smallbusinessowners

[Alean @Aleaniel76]

@WasteManagement @SacCIO After multiple complaints it appears that #WasteManagement picked up our cans this morning, broke a lock to get to them. I have not received a contract cancellation. Unfortunate I may be facing over $700 pick up fees for a contract at $300 a year. WM is compounding a crisis.

#WasteManagement won't release a small woman owned business out of contract, closed by government mandate. Only option includes stipulation if businesd re-opens ANYWHERE in their "service area" they force us back into contract. #mychoice #Patriarchy #competitionlaw

[Jim Fish @jimfishwm]

I am proud to call this group of women, and all of the remarkable women with Waste Management, colleagues. Throughout our operations, STEM plays a vital role in helping us achieve our goals of a more #sustainable tomorrow. #IWD2020

[Alean @Aleaniel76]

Found this random mess outside of our former studio just after my last e-mail. No response from #wastemanagement otherwise. Informed by a fellow business that they picked up our old studio cans this morning. Expect to be sent to collections any day. -Woman owned small business.

[brian fischer @SacCIO]

@WasteManagement The fact is that #WasteManagement has used unethical business practices, including possibly illegal contract clauses to hold small and micro business clients hostage as if their trash collection is a mortgage preventing them from freedom of contract.

[Alean @Aleaniel76]

Our business is closed by mandate and they still won't let us out! An affidavit to release the contract includes a condition that the contract be reinstated if I open business ANYWHERE in their service area in the future. They are no longer responding to any of our e-mails.

[brian fischer @SacCIO]

@WasteManagement Post online in writing contract language for any small business or frankly resident to get out of using #WasteManagement as a service. Do not hold hostage a business owner who wants to stop doing business with you. Do not abuse their credit report. Do not threaten fees for cans.

[Alean @Aleaniel76]

@Mayor_Steinberg @JaySchenirer Are you aware of this companies unethical practices? #WasteManagement is intentionally holding on to failing small business and forcing us back into contract if we open a business in their "area of service" anytime in the future. #freedomtochoose

[brian fischer @SacCIO]

Due to the stories I am hearing from micro & small businesses dealing with @WasteManagement during #COVID19, I will work collaboratively to launch a long term strategy to raise all ethical issues related to its #smallbusiness contract provisions.

#SmallBusinessExtinctionEvent

[Alean @Aleaniel76]

Beware #WasteManagement contracts built to lock business in for years, regardless of business closures, with hefty fees at the end of contract and with an option to pass fees on to new tenants without their permission. Worst business relationship highly unethical #badforbusiness.

[brian fischer @SacCIO]

I will reach out to at least 1000 #smallbusinesses directly over the coming weeks but I am asking my network for its help & ideas to tackle this giant corporation’s decades of #contractabuses victimizing the most vulnerable segment of our economy.

@BradyBaron @costrike @nnovick

[Alean @Aleaniel76]

@SacCIO @WasteManagement WM won't let small businesses closed due to #shelterinplace out of contract. Yet their CEO Jim Fish will tell you all the good deeds WM does and how much better WM is than any other big business, then send you a bill. #WasteOfManagement #TakeOutTheTrashPandemic
