[QUOTE="Star*, post: 518067, member: 4964"] Okay (not being snotty even the least little bit here) ------ When was the last time any of you were - Out of a job in todays job market with unemployment in SC being 3rd highest in the nation? Competing with Phd people for jobs at minimum wage? Being trained by and taught job skills classes by 20 somethings that have book skills in todays job market but no LIFE skill experience? Being told by the same LOL kids that THIS IS what you must do (XYZ) to get a job successfully and can and will show you the results on an Excel spread sheet via their lap top or other means you've never even used? I'm currently using ads on line, newspaper, face to face, cold calls, resumes - email - and it's very VERY tough. (again not whining) I agree with Susie* - I don't like what's happening....I haven't for years. It makes me feel OLD. Matter of fact to prove a point - I received a gift card for Thanksgiving from the CEO of our store. I wrote him a thank you card and mailed it. In the ENTIRE STATE - out of thousands of employes - THOUSANDS and that would include service to administration he came to the store to meet me and thank me as I was the ONLY person to send him a thank you card, and he was touched. Because of that everyone in our store got a gift card for Christmas. So I do still do what I think is right - but it has less and less place seemingly in the world today - and point is - I will always do what I think is mannerly. Thats all. It's just FRUSTRATING to be up against such odds. I think that's where the disconnect was between SUsie and her Hubby - SHe was right and he took the opportunity to bark the indifference to her - inappropriately. He could have explained it better....what is going on. She is nowhere NEAR....incorrect. Did I splain it better? And ICD - I agree with you - better companies DO have those policies - but right now? I'm competing in SC with literal PhDs and MUST HAVE Bachelors Degree for delivery positions - and Admin positions or receptionist jobs. It's nuts. They KNOW they can get people who paid for educations - to answer a phone for $7.50 an hr., has an excellent credit rating, has a husband that is probably a lawyer, and lives in a nice neihgborhood.
