Oh and another thing, I didn't ask you guys what your opinion of me was or if you thought what I did was right. I don't care what you think about that.
I was asking if anyone had any knowledge of employment laws that apply to pending charges and all I got was a bunch of rude remarks. It's so typical of people in general to look for any way to compare themselves to another person, judge them and act as if they are better than that. Wow. Don't tell me you guys have never gotten drunk before and don't tell me that you guys have never told a lie. I don't think there are too many people who haven't done one or the other.
That's just it actually! Employers are trying to use ways to label people the same way you guys just tried to label me as a liar and a drunk, when there is more to a person than that. It's so narrow-minded. Any way to try to disqualify a person from getting a job.
I mean, now, they are running people's credit reports and using that in their hiring decision to disqualify people from employment which in a lot of way is discriminatory of poor people. People of "higher class" or status will not be affected the same way by this as a person born into poverty. It is not right.
During another interview, I was told they were going to run a credit report on me and when I asked what the purpose for that is... they told me because a person with bad credit is probably more likely to steal from the company. Are you kidding me? Just because someone may have a difficult time getting by does not make them a thief. They even told me that they had fired someone because they had bad credit. Even the people interviewing me said they didn't agree with it, but it was a new "policy."
