Fired Before I Even Started

Criminals are treated as second class citizens even after they've served the time set for their crime by the society who deemed them guilty. Once that time is over they should be treated to the same rights as any other citizen but this is not the case so lie on the application.

Emily_Haines · 05-11-10, 01:45 PM

On your next application I would not say shit about any DUI's.

Extra Innings · 05-11-10, 01:46 PM

My Criminal Psychology Professor (who served 20 years for murder---got his PhD while in prison) recommended you lie on your application.

steal a new identity and start fresh. this is accepted in todays shitt society IE walking away from a mortgage

THE PROFIT · 05-11-10, 01:55 PM

I've had a DUI, but have got jobs since. Depends on the job, what was it? You can't get a job that requires driving company vehicles or shit like that. Some jobs require a clean driving record, so if you have a DIU no need to apply

Too bad for you icer. I have a dui from 2001 - happened on sep 11. I dont disciminate when hiring folks that have one but you might have to get a pardon or wait until it is spent before you get a job.

The General · 05-11-10, 02:23 PM

That is a def bummer and I'm sorry to hear. Hopefully it just wasn't meant to be and something better will arise for you.

iceminers26 · 05-11-10, 02:43 PM

Thanks for the words and advice guys but I'm not filing for unemployment, heck I'm still in my late twenties and haven't even started my business career yet. I played 3.5 years in the minors and just hung up the skates this past winter for good, second time I gave it up only to go back because of this same bullshit I'm going through now.

Profit

Its a summer teaching job for kids who are having troubles and the company needed an MBA to head up and sign off on shit and figured since I coached a year and always worked with kids when I was playing, it would be a good fit but I guess not because of my stupid actions back one night in 07.

iceminers26 · 05-11-10, 02:47 PM

Sunde

WTF is that bullshit you posted, I guess you are perfect and people don't make mistakes

big joe 1212 · 05-11-10, 02:50 PM

Tough break! What a bunch of assholes not even going through your application properly!

Most places will find out about your DWI if you lie because they will usually run a check on you.

Good Luck in your search! It's really tough out there right now!

SEAHAWKHARRY · 05-11-10, 02:55 PM

Sue em for false employment pain and suffering and im sure theres a lawyer just waiting for a case like this...lol j/k good luck lie next time they have made society do that ya know

MC PICKS · 05-11-10, 02:58 PM

That sucks man. Now people with MBA's are being passed over for misdameanors in this job market for summer jobs no less. Unreal, I feel for ya man. Get liquored up tonight and go fire some pucks thru the windows as a nice way to thank those jerkoffs. Like briere did in that commercial a few years back. Good luck in your job search man.

BatemanPatrickl · 05-11-10, 02:59 PM

School background checks are VERY strict and most of the times need to come up clean.

You may have better luck with companies; most corporations unless you have a company car don't look at a DUI as a crime.

Don't mind Sunde he is just another self-righteous idiot who thinks he has all of the answers.

Ditto. The guy is trying...

Sorry bout that Ice, don't know why the DWI matters that much. Keep hunting, you'll break through.

iceminers26 · 05-11-10, 03:11 PM

Big Joe

Yeah, that is another thing, I paid for all 3 of my background checks I had to do, FBI, Child Abuse, and PA State Police, that is why I didn't lie on the application because I knew they would eventually find out. I'm just pissed that they didn't read through my application and had me come in and then offer me a job, only to go back on their offer.

Hawk

Not worth it, just sucks but just need to move on and find something else.

**

Yeah it was just a summer job, I have my name in at about twenty or so colleges that are offering both a professor position in some form of global management, Int'l Bus, etc. and also an assistant coaching position.

Bate

Thanks for the advice buddy, may have to wait another year or two before getting the teaching positions and work in some form in the business sector until then.

iceminers26 · 05-11-10, 03:12 PM

Jonah

thanks buddy

THE PROFIT · 05-11-10, 03:14 PM

never a good idea to lie about it. If they run a background check, as most employers do, it will show up. They may not care if you've had a misdemeanor or even a low class felony. But if you lie about it you're done.

Having a DUI is a bad influence on the children, Ice. We all know because an adult got caught doing something we have all done that you will have the kids smokin' dope & drinkin' all over town before the summers over

MC PICKS · 05-11-10, 03:16 PM

I was gonna suggest coaching. Being that you played pro hickey you must have a shitload of contacts. You could be the next "mad dog" murray chadwick.

THE PROFIT · 05-11-10, 03:17 PM

They just can't take a chance having someone like you around kids. I think they should get some priests, you know, good young christian men of the cloth, maybe take all the boys campin' for a couple weeks

pavyracer · 05-11-10, 03:19 PM

Will this job you got fired from involved ice mining? I can see why they wouldn't want someone with a DWI operating machinery.

No, not in any way, it was teaching children with different types of problems over the summer in both a classroom and social setting. Thought it would be a good fit because they use sports as their social setting to get the kids to interact and work on their people skills.

This is not fair. I totally agree why you were upset. But if you lied they could have found out after a week and still terminate you. This is a problem when working for the private sector. They can fire you at will and there is nothing you can do about it. Even VegasDave was such a nice person and they still fired him from SBR.

Good luck in your next job opportunity.

A door to a better job opened ip somewhere for ya.Was it a felony D.U.I?If it wasn't then it's ok to fudge on your job application.

No it's not they will find it. Tell me again what Investment Bank you work for please.

iceminers26 · 05-11-10, 03:41 PM

Pavs

Thanks bud, just upset because it would have been a fun job and the pay actually wasn't that bad for a summer job because the MBA position paid a little higher.

Taylor

No mine was not a felony DUI and couldn't lie on this one because I had to complete 3 background checks and it would have came up but maybe on my applications for the business sector I may be better off leaving it off until asked about it.

iceminers26 · 05-11-10, 03:43 PM

I don't really want to lie about it though on any applications because I realize I made a mistake and served my time, went through the programs assigned by the judge, lost my liscense for awhile, and paid my fines, I feel I went through enough over it and want to be upfront and not have to worry about my employer uncovering it down the road.

this is spot on...people think because they have been working somewhere 30 years they are safe...your boss can shut your life off if he so chooses...so lick his boots real good

only government and state jobs have due process (like a hearing or something) after someone being with them for 20 years is about to get fired...but thats only if the employee was stealing...fighting or sexual harassment

Great flick, we bullshitted one night when it was on.

THE PROFIT · 05-11-10, 05:01 PM

It is never OK to lie on the app. They will come back & fire you later & there's nothing you can do. It's like a breach of contract

THE PROFIT · 05-11-10, 05:01 PM

For once I agree with Bateman. FUK!
