Saw this in person

Post #108,828 by lincoln 7/9/03 10:59:53 AM Reply	Saw this in person I worked with a guy who came in through a recruiter to the manager that I was reporting to. After his first day, he went home, opened the mail, and saw a rejection letter from the HR department, saying that "he didn't have the skills they were looking for in a candidate for this position". He brought the letter in to work the next day, and our manager spent over an hour down in HR trying to get them to get their act together for his new employee. Too funny, but also too sad. lincoln "Four score and seven years ago, I had a better sig" [link\|http://users3.ev1.net/~bconnors/resume.htm\|VB/SQL resume] [link\|http://users3.ev1.net/~bconnors/tandem_resume.htm\|Tandem resume] [link\|mailto:bconnors@ev1.net\|contact me]

When they took the Fifth Amendment, I was quiet because I was innocent. When they took the Second Amendment, I was quiet because I didn't own a gun. Now they've taken the First Amendment, and I can't say anything about it.

They had this great assembly line churning out mainframe programmers when suddenly they found clients demanding this new OO stuff. C++ specifically. So they launched a sort of subsidiary that hired "experienced" (AC speak for "tainted" I believe) people and called them the Systems Resources Group. We had skills to share and a glass ceiling over our heads. I stayed 2.5 years on the same contract at US West - then bailed for double money when they suggested that the next contract was 100% travel to San Ramon, CA. I did get C++ code reviews from Scott Meyers himself while working there. Good experience. But I don't think I ever really fit in.
