Question for those of you that doing hiring

[talisman]

I love the guys who list themselves as CEO of their own landscape company.

CFO, bitch!

[Nash B.]

CTO, assholes!

[347Mike]

CCO!


Chooo Chooo Officer

[Up0n0ne]

Tsa??

He had gotten arrested for theft and forgery and said no one would hire him which I find hard to believe. I would think some sort of low level retail job would hire him with this on his record and I think he's simply not applying himself enough to looking for a job. What do you guys think?

Retail doesn't want him. He's only good for jobs where there is no dealing with identity information, credit cards, and/or a till.

oilfield. One of my employees had been convicted of grand larceny and my company hired him.

Not much on a rig floor (that is man-portable) worth stealing.

Confused? I meant exactly what I said.

Really, that he deserves to be in the situation (and not be able to be employed), AND that he can change from being previously a criminal (and then supposedly being able to be employed again)?

Contradict much?

Only Ring gaskets and Hand tools. lol

True, really a good setting for teaching one not to steal. If he does and is caught out there he will get an ass beating. I've seen it happen multiple times...

[Trip McNeely]

Throw the thief in the mud pits.

No contradiction at all.

He absolutely deserves to be in this situation (difficulty finding a job, people calling him a piece of shit, etc) until/unless he busts his ass to overcome it, which he may never do, especially considering he doesn't seem to be trying very hard, per the original post.

I don't believe thieves and other lowlifes should just get another free chance at living the same (relatively) privileged life as other honest folks. But I do believe they can earn it if they really want/try to.

I'm not sure why that's tough to understand.

I'm sure it isn't difficult to understand if your mind works well with double standards. Either he is shit and deserves to not being able to find work or he can change and should be given a second chance. Pick a story and stick to it.

It's not a double standard in any way. I'm not real convinced that you even understand what a double standard is.

Here, I'll try a simple analogy.

If you're a regular at a restaurant and the new waiter seems lazy and careless, and gives you terrible service, then he doesn't deserve a tip. He deserves to get stiffed. And you may not even want to try that waiter again the next few times you go. Now, does that mean he never deserves a tip again for the rest of his life? Of course not. Maybe over a few more visits you'll notice that he seems to be hustling around the place, working his butt off, doing a great job for other tables. You eventually might decide to give him another shot, and if he does a good job, you'll tip him accordingly.

According to the original post, this guy is like the waiter who gave terrible service, and it seems like he doesn't care about trying to hustle or become a better waiter. It's like he just wants to bitch and moan about not getting any tips. A guy like that deserves to keep going home empty-handed.

Then again, this particular guy might just forge huge tips onto every bill and swipe a box of chicken strips from the back when his shift over, so I guess he won't be empty-handed, after all.

Not going to go into all of what else was said, but as hiring manager, I doubt I would even consider a person convicted of theft and / or forgery. We deal with confidential information, bank account info, credit card numbers on a daily basis. I would not trust someone like that.

We (the customers) appreciate this kind of policy.
