Thursday’s Thought: Merry Christmas, But Don’t Tell Santa That

Posted by Kevin Crews - The Career Strategist on December 23, 2010 in Job Tip |
I have it on good authority that Santa Claus is coming to town. And he ain't happy! He has observed (from the North Pole) many bad companies doing many bad things this past year. Thus, there are no CEO's on his list this year. Santa compiled a list of his top 6 grievances with corporations:

  1. He is tired of companies posting positions that they really have no intention of filling (just out fishing for the big whale).

  2. He is upset that the interviewers at company's have lost all compassion. Why don't they provide feedback to the candidates that they interview?

  3. Where has the common decency gone? When someone sends you an E-mail or leaves you a voicemail, it is written in law (at the North Pole) that you must return the message (within 1-2 business days).

  4. What is it with these never ending questions for online applications? They need to know more information about a candidate than the IRS wants to know about you.

  5. What happened to privacy? Nosey companies want to know your salary information before they even consider you for a position. That is private information that they get after they have been good little corporate boys and girls.

  6. How in the world did so much discrimination sneak back into society? Job seekers are being discriminated from every angle. All you "discriminators" will receive a special prize in your stockings. Hint: It's reindeer poop.


Even though it has been a very rough year for a lot of us, I still want to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a "Life Changing" New Year!

P.S. I snapped a picture of Santa below... Don't show this to your children, we don't want them to know!
