I spoke with Eddie Blackburn about Ayme Stone. He tells me that she is a fifteen (15) year employee with a good work record until the last 2 years when she started having some personal problems and started avoiding work. The avoidance was she worked at the call center and rather than taking calls from customers she would log off for either bathroom breaks, meetings with management, or meetings with coworkers, or she would out her phone “on hold” so that she didn’t have to take calls. She would use this time to deal with what she says was a pattern of harassment from her soon to be ex-husband because she was involved in a very bitter divorce proceeding. Eddie says that they mediated the case and he felt that arbitrator Bruce Fraser was sympathetic
