I HAVE A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE TODAY I RECEIVED AN EMAIL ABOUT THIS JOB THAT I APPLIED FOR AS A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT Mantality Health I KNOW IM WELL QUALIFIED FOR THE POSITION AS THEY SEEN ON MY RESUME! THEY DISCRIMINATED AGAINST ME BECAUSE OF MY NAME WHICH THEY CONSIDERED IT TO BE “ghetto” FOR THEIR COMPANY! MY FEELINGS ARE VERY HURT AND THEY EVEN GOT ME SECOND GUESSING MY NAME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF MY NAME IS REALLY THAT “GHETTO” I WOULD LIKE FOR EVERYONE TO SHARE THIS POST BECAUSE DISCRIMINATION HAS TO STOP!I would love to read her resumé.
I have spoken with a lot of her sisters in various customer service departments. They are often very sweet, kind, and patient people, but understanding them is a real challenge. I'm not sure which is worse -- getting a Hermeisha on the phone or getting Lakshmi or Vijayalakshmi.
I have a 2-syllable last name. Somehow, the Hermeisha receptionists invariably manage to tack on about 1 - 3 additional syllables to it when calling me from the waiting room.
E.g., if my last name was "Badger", Receptionist Hermeisha would call out "Badger-erio"?
