Someone that worked at that company I met a few years later through a mutual friend and that's how I found out. He remembered me and we had a talk about it and confirmed what I already had assumed.

Bottom line was "we had to hire them but we didn't have to hire you".

Let me say that that post wasn't directed at you. Just an observation based on quite a few idiots I've know over the years.



(Maybe the black guy got the Job because he has actual qualifications vs your string of firings and community college degree? )
-actual thought in head that I kept to myself as individual bitched about not getting a job at a place where I used to work.
