finkster Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I went in to my gym yesterday and talked to one of the trainers there. He said how he just got done with an interview in Frederick County Fire Rescue.... I asked him what they asked him...First thing they asked him...."Have you ever worked or been a volunteer at a fire dept?" He said no....they said GOOD....because they want to train you "their way" and that they werent taking people with experience.... WHAT THE FUCK....So I just wasted 2 years of my service and training and schooling to be denied because I wasn't trained "their" way?.... What a load of shit. Funny how you have to meet a certain quota of races while any certain individual (white or black or whatever) can outperform them. IMO you should be selected based on your ability to perform the task... EOE FUCK YOU!

Skullz Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 You didn't waste anything from one persons dealings with the fire dept. Hr person as not every place does the same things or the same types of interviews but if you look closely at help wanted ad's anymore you'll notice some strange things being asked in those as well. It seems that the new types of hiring models are pretty disturbing to me as they tend to focus more on whats not needed for the job and more on you the person. Since when did a diploma or GED signify having qualifications of any job out there i mean everything is using diploma's and credit scores in place of actual intelligent interviewers using what was given them at birth, i guess its just the sign of the times anymore.

finkster Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Yea brothers and sister I did fail to lead a connection huh? I was going to use stories about race but backed out because this forum is touchy with it. Although, I thought EOE had to do with being discriminated against, period....The other half of my rant that I originally left out was how people of other races are being let in even if they are less capable than anyone else. I have seen this numerous times, my neighbor being one of them who failed hard out of another companies fire rescue academy. Why are people who are less capable being let in just because they have to meet a race quota? I think the people who pass all the written, oral, and physical tests should be let in, no matter what race. This isnt the first story I've heard from the counties around here but it kinda pisses me why they would want people without experience...They are more than capable of repassing the tests doing it "their way."

ryde2idie Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I don't find as much race discrimination as I find tattoo discrimination. And would you really wanna work for a company that hires people just because they're a certain race? Think of it as good luck not to get into those places because it's obvious the people running the company are ignorant fucks. Quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
