I was hired after almost 3 weeks of interviews and waiting by what I consider to be a smaller company... measured, by me, by the number of associates working within the immediate area. I was the third. The immediate area was a range from West Virginia to North Carolina and many venues in between both north and east. I began work November 2nd and I worked hard at a job where the pay was reasonable, the hours and excessive toil, were not. Not for someone as old or as experienced as I. And after two and a half weeks of hell, I was released for "not meeting expectations."
Floored didn't even begin to cover my surprise. How is it to be going along, barely begun in a position, led to believe I was doing well, only to discover the opposite was true. Honestly, I felt lied to by the company, the manager, and the initial interviewer. However, there is nothing to be done. I truly don't feel much antagonism toward the company, I barely knew them. Though I had heard rumors that were not exactly complimentary.
Ah well, it was a drop in the bucket of time and won't even mar the pristine appearance of my resume. Back to the searching grind... which truth to tell, I never left.
