My daughter utilized for a job on the agency the place I’m at present employed, in a division supervised by three excellent associates of mine. I’ve recognized all of them for over 20 years. I think about them nice coworkers and associates. My neighbor additionally utilized for the job. My neighbor has been out of labor for over 11 years and lived off his dad and mom. My daughter has a grasp’s diploma, nice connections, and is at present working. Neither of them have any expertise within the subject. My daughter has labored with a number of associates of mine and all advised me she was the very best worker they ever had.
They interviewed my neighbor, who stated the interview was basic and straightforward, and so they employed him inside per week. They interviewed my daughter, who stated the interview was pointed and in a single occasion, one in all my associates who interviewed her laughed at her when she stated she may assist him with a specific job he wished achieved, and he or she has not had a name again.
For sure, I’m offended. I’ve by no means concerned myself in her employment at this group or wherever else. Nevertheless, I’m baffled. I see these folks daily as we’re in the identical workplace, though we don’t work in the identical division. Is it unprofessional to ask them why they didn’t rent my hard-working daughter however employed an individual who hasn’t labored in years and lives off his aged mom?
