Class (As In Common Decency)

When I went for the job interview a few weeks back, I was convinced that the corporation, a major producer of cameras and other electronic products, was the perfect example of a professional corporation. They had good benefits, good investment/401k elements and a no yelling policy in which all employees were meant to be treated in a respectful basis. Sounds good, right? Every silver lining must have a cloud somewhere.



They talked with me for two hours and I seemed to say all the right things. It was as smooth an interview as I ever had and I thought I was on the way to getting the job.......or at least getting a notification that I didn't. You see, it looks like my strong impression about this place being professional and respectful was dead wrong. They didn't even have the decency to call me and tell me anything and when I looked up the position on the web, it was listed as no longer available. So I am not even worthy of a notification phone call? I sent an email to the HR person I met with and, after almost a week, have not even had that email responded to. Just a lack of class! And of respect!



On a similar note, my coworker recommended I join a search engine called iRazoo.com. By searching you can earn points and eventually acquire rewards for accumulating enough points. Fair enough. I wracked up quite a few points in searching over a few days until I went to log in yesterday and was informed that my account was banned. When I inquired as to the ban, I was responded very quickly and told that there was a one account per household rule and that with my coworker being on her computer and me being on my computer, we somehow violated this rule. I explained the situation and was given a very unhelpful response offering me and my coworker a simple choice, my email to log in or hers. I responded that that was impossible, we are two different people and have two different emails but are not doing anything wrong on here. I never received the courtesy of a response. Needless to say I won't be using iRazoo ever again. Just like the HR Dept. of the place I interviewed with there was no decency in how this was handled. Again no class.

  1. Unfortunately, this is what the world has become. You can thank the "leftist" way of thinking for all this, I call it, the "liberal influence", an insidious force that has made its way through our educational systems preaching the avoidance of confrontation and, ultimately, generating a complacent populous of "politically correct" drones fearful of actually having to hear they've been "rejected".

    Don't get me wrong, the far right is just as crazy and stupid, but I fear the leftists even MORE as they're typically better at conniving under the perfect guise of "humanitarian intentions".
