Really?

Once again Employee Services, you single me out from a so called ‘equal opportunity’. Why? Because of the bullshit you believe? You have repeatedly screened out my application over the last 6 years for one bullshit reason or another. Each reason less credible than the one before. Yet somehow I have gotten the same job twice and in two different provinces just in the last year, a job with much higher standards at that. The same job “Slingshot” says I’m not suitable or eligible to do. The job “Slingshot” couldn’t handle and here I am doing that job. So, what’s your fuckin’ problem again? Oh yeah! The bullshit you believe, shit you can’t prove or justify.

This year “The Thief” sends me the “regret to inform you email”. So I guess everyone else is a better match eh? They all already have experience like me, and the security clearances and credentials I do? They already have the right license? All 800+ of them? Yeah, hardly. Half of the allegedly qualified candidates are probably your delinquent friends. You idiots don’t even deserve the jobs you have and you’re telling me I’m not suitable for the job you couldn’t deal with—based on what? I asked a question and sent an email. Oh, what a fuckin’ crime. I have an opinion! Oh no! LOOK OUT, someone is questioning your proven lack of competence.

It’s not okay for me to express a concern or a thought but it’s okay for “Slingshot” to make disparaging remarks about women to co-workers? It’s okay to steal when you’re not vacationing in Cuba? You guys are morons. I mean really, you open a position for a supervisor (of sorts), and instead of hiring the guy with the HR degree, you hired the bartender. Yeah… that’s the most suitable person for the job eh? How’s that workin for ya? Enjoy the high life while ya got it, cuz your ineptitude will catch up to ya eventually. After all, house of cards is a house of cards. —You know who it is
