Gone are the days of a simple hire. For the past few weeks people have been coming in, filling out paperwork for jobs we have. Friday a guy came in and he seemed like a decent person, has a family and willing to work right away. I had to send his application to the new owners of our company for approval. He was a good fit but after a few days was denied. I was pissed we need workers and he was willing to work for the pay I offered.
Spring forward to todays meeting with some girl that was handling the applications. I ask why it takes so long to do this and these people want a job today. She says that because of Covide and gas prices and the war in Ukraine.........bla bla bla.
I stop her and say WTF does any of that have to do with hiring and why am I wasting my time interviewing these people. She says well thats how we do it today. I was pissed so I said why not just hire a temp and take them after 90 days and she says well you could do that.
I said I think I will and walked out of the meeting. Later the General manager asked why I was such a jerk. I said did you listen to ANY of that stupid conversation!
I'm getting way to old for this stupidity.
