Got laid off in June and have been fortunate enough to be on gardening leave until the end of this month. The job search has not gone well so far and I started getting desperate.
Applied to be a seasonal driver with UPS. Figured it would pay the bills for the season and I can continue my search in the meantime. I should've seen the first red flag when their system told me to schedule a road test but they had no dates, then hours later I get a call saying they should have more listed within the next ten days so just keep checking daily.
I keep checking and I finally get a chance to schedule one. Picked today, Sep 14th at 8:15am. System tells me it will be between 8:15 and 9:15, okay fine. I show up and talk to the manager who never gave me his name, he tells me to sit in the break room and someone will come get me.
I showed up 10 minutes early and left 5 minutes late, and not a single person came by to get me or even tell me there's a delay.
If you can't respect me when I don't work for you, there's no chance you'll respect me when I do.
I went to an interview once, got there 15 minutes early so the secretary told my that I got early and the interviewer is nit ready, which is of course fine by me. She told me to sit somewhere and wait. I waited 45 minutes (30 minutes after the interviews should have started) and than just walked a way. On the way out the secretary ask me where I'm going I told her that it's rude to keep me waited like this and I'm not interested. She tried to convince me and went to get the interviewer, but went anyway when she done that.
Some people think their time is more valuable than others
