My husband is a truck driver, but has been unemployed since he had a wreck 2.5 years ago. Long story short, we're having a hard time finding anyone who will hire him now, although it's the ONLY wreck he's ever had in 25 years of driving. He found a company two weeks ago that said they didn't care about the wreck or the unemployment because his history has been otherwise great. The recruiter told him last Tuesday or Wednesday that everything was approved and she would call him on Friday or Monday to tell him what day his orientation began and to make arrangements for him to travel to the terminal by Greyhound. He never heard back, so today he called them. The recruiter LIED. When she told him everything was approved and he was hired, NOTHING had been approved, and when his app packet went to upper management, they denied him for the reasons she said didn't matter - the wreck and the unemployment.
It just ticks me off so badly that people can screw with the life of others and not think a thing in the world about it. We've been barely existing on one income for two and a half years and my nerves are stretched as thin as a person's nerves can get. This job was our shining light - the help we needed to get us out of this hellish slump we've been in and can't climb out of. I can't take much more of this, but the doors keep getting slammed in our faces. I'm over it. This crappy economy needs to buck up, be a man, turn around, and stand up tall like a man should. No wonder suicide and depression rates are through the roof, not to mention foreclosure and backruptcy rates!!
*steps off of soapbox* Thanks for letting me vent. I needed that.
