Hiring manager comes off medical leave Sept 10th so gotta put in by then. Then there is standard S>L>O>W> corporate protocol...do we have enough candidates to meet HR rules...eh, you called me, I didn't apply and the clandestine call out of the blue for me to get ready.... Amazingly after 18 years with this company and holding several different agencies' clearances that were re-investigated a year ago, I would have to go thru an initial hire screening...WTF? Yo, I have a suggestion to save money my dear company. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Just the way it works in smoke filled rooms (sorry, no smoking on company property). Names are bantered about and a discreet call from someone you have known over the years puts a bug in your ear. If you don't answer the call it goes on your "permanent record" with the principle. I have turned down one such call to a place that I would not go but the others (Korea, China, Atlanta, Corpus) I have answered. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned that down, and instead went to Southern Maryland. Should have gone to Egypt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the landscape was beautiful, and the blue crabs and oysters were plentiful back then, the political and social local atmosphere was decidedly toxic. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I'm WIDE awake now. Been trying to trap Mr.Skunk's compa... Several days of finding the trap sprung, nobody home... This AM was no different. Went out.. trap is sprung. Have the door half open when I realize we have a customer. A passing glance this AM revealed nothing but the door closed... I nested the trap into a small box to facilitate removal prior to seting the trap. Made things easy. Got this one gone w/o any "leakages"... 2 weeks ...... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
