To the shitty cousin who wouldn’t hire me four months ago when I was looking for work and in a tough financial spot. You told me I was one of the most qualified candidates for the position yet you decided to hire some stranger instead. Why, I don’t know. We always got along. I don’t know what your reasoning for NOT hiring me was. But it fucked me over for a bit there. I spent three more weeks job hunting and had to borrow money from my brother to pay my fucking rent, so thanks a lot.
Now I hear you just got laid off. I don’t feel an ounce of sympathy. And don’t think for a second I’ll be trying to get you a job at where I now work, asshole. How’s it feel now? Enjoy the unemployment office! —Karma’s a Bitch, Aint It?

Maybe someone *gasp* was actually MORE qualified than you, OB.
Kudos to your cousin for being unbiased in their decision to hire someone and not to hire someone because they were their cousin.
Maybe your cousin didn’t want to hurt your feelings and only said you were one of the most qualified? I know I wouldn’t tell a family member they sucked ass if they applied for a job with me and their qualifications/fit for the job sucked a whole bunch.
Or maybe your cousin thought it was a bad idea to hire family. Maybe the organization has a policy against that, either written or maybe it’s just frowned upon.
You sound like that one family member every family has: everything is everyone else’s fault, you rely on others to help you out of a bind (and if they don’t, you claim they’re the shit of the earth), and you’re always hard up for money.
Did you manage to pay your brother back? Or do you owe debts to him and other family members as well?
You suck, OB.
Karma does not exist it’s called fate.
everyone knows karma is a dog http://hounddogsrunning.tumblr.com/post/24…
Unnecessary harsh response from a coast regular who reads too deeply into bitches. You could have just called him/her a cunt then told them to piss off. It would have achieved the same thing with less words.
But you are feeling a whole lot of schadenfreude, apparently. Karma doesn’t work that way. Technically, by not helping someone who needs it(if they do), you’re actually damaging your own.
Speaking of schadenfreude, is anyone else gleeful that for once nepotism didn’t win out in a job interview in this who you know/blow province?
I’m willing to bet that at least once in your life, either over a beer or in a letter to the editor you’ve bitched about the pervasive culture of the “old-boy network” and nepotism, or as you probably phrased it -“Who ya know and who ya blow” – in regards to your own personal failures. Amirite OP? C’mon. Fess up.
Stop being a cunt, Tomzilla and piss off.
Also: yes, I’m gleeful, swampdonkey!
Maybe nepotism isn’t as rampant in this city as I thought! This bitch brightened my day a little bit.
Amen Swamp Donkey.
Nepotism….thy name be OB.
Maybe by hiring your self entitled ass, your cousin would have gotten fired instead of just laid-off.
Get over yourself, OB. The fact that your cousin supposedly got laid off leads me to think that you probably would’ve suffered the same fate. So, in reality, your cousin probably did you a huge favour.
mmmm your words taste so good PK. Easy troll is easy. You should know better.
Going with avast0 on this, you likely may have been gone before your cousin, last in first out and all that, if you still have your job be thankful but no need to spike the ball at your cousin.
ah… “spike the ball” …
it’s funny how media outlets all cling to the same jargon once one of them come up with something catchy.
Survey says you suck
they wouldn’t hire you, then they get laid off, how do you figure that one? if he is the owner of his company, he cannot get laid off, but he can hire you. if he is only a foreperson, then the head honcho has to say yes or no, it’s out of his hands. so the way i see this is pure bullshit. either he owned company or not.
Maybe your cousin’s boss hired his own cousin for that position.
I asked Karma if this was her doing and she just rolled her eyes and said, “Pfft. Uneducated dumb-asses.”
familygate has erupted!
