Will Work for $8/hour and a Glass Teat. . . (User Submission!)

Posted May 06 by Hiring Manager D.
Filed Under: , , , , , ,

Not Hired user, “Paula Plenty,” reports that a candidate for a customer service phone representative position talked to each of the three people with whom she interviewed about how important it was to have the ability to watch a portable television in her cubicle.  The candidate sealed her “not hired” fate by following up her interview with a letter that included:

I know you can understand that being allowed to watch TV helps keeps [sic] us sane during the downtime and giving good customer support really only takes one ear.  The customers on the phone don’t have to know that I have a TV and I like to watch TV at work because it doesn’t hurt my work, I have a mini TV that I like to keep on my desk and watch with a white earplug. My other ear can hear the phone and listen to customer support issues.  You have to trust me that it isn’t a problem even when very dramatic story is happening on my shows.

Do you have to put me in a cubicle farm and treat me like a piece of dung? My last 6 employers did that and it sucked and so did I.   How bout giving me a room with a window and watching me bloom?
