The whole leftist establishment is cheating. Affirmative action is cheating. Minority set-asides is cheating. Social promotion is cheating. Blaming Whitey is cheating. So no wonder that cheating is rampant
40 years ago, I was working as a payroll supervisor. They were changing the system from manual checks to computer system checks for over 750 employees on weekly paychecks in 7 different states in 35+ different locations.
My supervisors decided that I should have an assistant & they put the local head hunters to work.
I got many ‘applicants’, but they were woefully unprepared for such a job. All had high school diplomas, they said.
One applicant still stands out in my mind:
She came in & filled out the application. She claimed to have attended 2 different business schools. I asked her why she didn’t just graduate from the first one & I got a story which didn’t hold water. So I kept up the questioning.
She had written the word bussiness in 3 different places on the application. I strongly felt that IF she had attended 2 different business schools, she should have known how to at least spell that word correctly.
I told her we were still deciding on many applicants & let her leave the office. The head hunter was on the phone with me within 10 minutes, as per their normal follow thru.
She wondered how soon her ‘applicant ‘ would be starting the job. I told her NEVER at this job opening. When she asked why- I told her the lady didn’t have very clear handwriting, which was critical for this opening,and more than that, she could NOT SPELL BUSINESS. She had spelled it wrong in 3 different places on the application.
The head hunter couldn’t understand why that mattered. I tried to explain to her that this office processed PAYROLL checks & permanent records of same. Such information was sent to both Federal & state locations for permanent records, and future Social Security payments. IF the names were NOT spelled correctly from the start, those persons would have a devil of a time getting their correct Social Security payments in the future.
The headhunter didn’t get my point. I told her NOT to send me any more of HER APPLICANTS.
That problem was 40 years ago. Schools have NOT gotten any better. I can spell-—it is just my typing that is bad.
I have been self employed as a bookkeeper/accounting person since 1980, and I still have 2 clients. One has been a client for over 47 years, the other over 44 years. Glad I never hired anyone to help me.
