That's an all round well thought out article

I interviewed another individual and hired him, only to find out on his first night of work that he had a medical condition that made it impossible for him to perform his job duties. It irked me a little because I go into great detail about the physical requirements of the job and the extreme aggressive nature of the cliental should have been a red flag for him, and I could have suggested less physical positions for him to interview for.

I once met with an individual at the request of one of my former staff who had become a supervisor. I agreed believing that at the very least the individual would meet the minimum qualifications of the job and the right attitude. I spent an hour with the gentleman who sat slouched, almost lying down at times in his chair and he said three things to me, Hi, okay, and uhuh. I was flabbergasted, because the job dealt with aggressive cliental, and many other situations that are not considered normal.

Years ago as HR Mgr for a major wholesale grocery chain I was interviewing candidates for warehouse selector positions. The job description gave detailed physical requirements for lifting. A candidate appeared in my office severely tanned, wearing skin tight spandex shorts, and a Gold's Gym tshirt that exposed both Pec's. As I interviewed him he consistently rubbed and stroked his muscled arms and legs and twitched and methodically bounced each pec up and down. Although I ignored these actions and stuck to my questions, as soon as he stood up (with a full scale erection in his pants) and left, I burst out laughing and had to bring up the security cameras to share with my colleages. He did not get the job.

Following the Challenger shuttle explosion, I received a résumé from a quality engineer recently fired from Morton Thiokol. The cover letter had an outline drawing of his right hand. Around the drawing, he had written a poem about his desire to restart his stalled career.

American Corporate Culture for management is perverse to such an extent it costs businesses billions of dollars in misdirected revenue each year. For example, the constant harping to work smarter, faster, longer, harder, etc. What does that really accomplish? Nothing more than stressed out, burned out people. If there were no tomorrow, that might work. But there will always be a tomorrow. Even machines can not run wide open for days on end. But then, you don't care do you? You'll just buy a new machine. There in is the perverse attitude. A losers attitude. What might that be? Ask your boss. Afraid to? Why? Your human. You have right to know.
