Last Dec/Jan I interview 3 times with a company in Denver... I found out they interviewed almost 30 people for this position. It got done to me & 1 other person, and we both interviewed. This was over almost a 10 week period in total... after my final interview, a week later they came back and said "We looked at our needs and actually don't need that position after all..." especially in the current economy, that's just poor management.
So the head doesn't know what the assh**e is doing..or is it the other way around? Either way, it's **** poor management.

I hate to hear that Jim.
I know it doesn't make sense, but I believe we all know who is really sovereign over these circumstances, and He can change things at the drop of a hat. Hang tough.

Went to a Home Depot once...to get tile, I think. Anyhow, it was hotter than hell in there, and it was like, August or something during a heat wave. It was so hot that after about 5 minutes of pushing a cart around I walked up to one of the guys who worked there and asked him why it was so hot in there. He said "corporate controls the temperature of our building. We have no way of changing the thermostat". Corporate was in Atlanta, Georgia.
I'm not sure he was telling me the truth, but holy crap.
True that. I've been having a rotten day. One fire after the next it seems.

I am not the happiest man in the world right now. I just got a call from the maint. supervisor at Pavestone and corporate just instituted a hiring freeze so my physical has been cancelled and I am now still without a job. He told me that he has to lay off one of the maint guys that he has now also. If the freeze is lifted soon they will call me first.
Not a good day at all.

Damn Jim, sorry to hear this. It really sucks that you went through the whole process and as you were getting ready for the physical they cancel on you.
We now have H1N1 in our home, my wife and daughter are sick now and I'm sure the rest of us will be sick before too long.
Gee, I can hardly wait

Very surprised they even gave out the number. They were probably freezing too! haha

Sorry to hear that Jim. I missed the original news so here I am reading about your new job and then this news all in one sitting. That really sucks Jim. How could they not know ahead of time to at least not be interviewing people. Probably means that would be a good company to NOT work for anyway.
It was a brisk 21 degrees here this AM ,a little too cold to sleep with the windows open.

i think this is more a case of management not knowing what the plant is doing.
the plant manager said we need another mechanic, and preferably one with electrical experience. hire someone.
then 2 weeks later after all is said and done, the front office pencil pushing bean counters that have no knowledge of the managers hiring process decide they need to save money by firing a mechanic and enforcing a hiring freeze.

Thank You all for your support and kindness. I have to keep looking up though. I have my health and I have JL and to top all of it off I have all of you as friends.
Life is pretty good.
