Colleague and I wrote a letter to our CEO to report the actions of our boss, idungoof

[VaiKing]

UPDATE Post #61

Basics of my job:
I'm a recruiter for a big company (won't mention for confidentiality purposes). I touch all kind of positions, going from the janitor all the way to Directors.

I was recently working on a welder position, and we were at the stage of making an offer.
My boss decided, for some reason, to extend the process and asked me to have a look at a random resume.
That said resume had no qualifications, so I screened it out.

She insisted...that's where I found out it was her husband.
I'm thinking : I'll do a courtesy interview and we'll take him out.
When I asked her when would be his availability, she replied (and i quote): you can do an interview if you want, but he'll still end up being hired.

Long story short, immediate supervisor becomes aware of the situation, he then aware his boss (a director) who gets really pissed at me for going along with the process. Now in the past, i got **** on for asking too many questions and raising issues on similar cases, but this time Misc, my jimmies were rustled a whole ****ing lot.

This goes against my work ethic, against my values, and also, there is no way I was taking **** again from a ****ty and ungrateful boss.
I shared the story with a colleague, who was mind=blown by the whole situation, and proposed to write a letter to the CEO.

We sent it at 5pm.

Now we wait.
I might be in serious trouble, but nothing will ever happen if I don't get my hands dirty.

Snitches get stitches. Stay safe OP, I hope your angus is peppered

Edit - although I agree w/what you did, I hope you somehow reported it anonymously. It's going to be your word against hers, and hopefully she doesn't pull the insubordination card or run you into the ground.

[Mindrevolution]

Eh I doubt the CEO wants someone working a job they aren't qualified for just because it's your bosses husband. The CEO may or may not appreciate a narc though

[jmfselu09]

only narcs call people narcs....narc

her bitchy attitude would make me rage completely. she just completely side stepped your job and made your feel useless. "you can do the interview if you want, but he's still gonna get it anyway..." man that would have been such a mind fukc to hear in real life. hope that bitch gets fired.

This^.
If only you could have called her out on that at least. "Then why did you waste my time??"
You might get a slap on the wrist for this, but she should face some repercussions.

HR are the scum of the earth and everything wrong with America. They can all go fuk themselves.

[BrockDiCaprio]

How do you think the CEO got his job, bc he knew someone...i hope you sent it anonymously

[Acetheticz]

Fuking sloots, when will they learn.

Any updates OP?

[HILMAN76]

subscribbled.


Opie, start sending out your own resumes, cause this might get ugly.

[OfficerJimLahey]

you can come be assistant trailer park supervisor

[cheapWiFi]

A welder? I assume that's pretty low at your company OP. The CEO definitely doesn't have time or the patience to deal with stupid **** like that. I imagine that's what HR departments are for, which I assume is related to but distinct from your recruitment department. I think you goofed hard on this one and let your emotions get to you.

[koganstyle1]

Depends on the culture of the organisation...in most places you will be let go at some point (CEO's are often the most corrupt)

Whistle-blower=martyr

[naturaltony]

Sounds like she out ranks you and can hire. She probably worked it out behind the scenes and you were the last to find out.

Lol now you are just a whistle blower

CEO replied:

Thank you X,

I take this statement very seriously.
I will start investigating.



i might actually make it.
And for all of you who call me a snitch, I've stepped on my work ethic too long already, I'm done acting like a puppet.

[ralphplsgo12]

to be honest the ceo isnt going to review something like that, hes got bigger fish to fry. chances are his secretary will screen it out and forward it back to whoever your director is. story still rambled my jimbos though

Don't abandon this thread, update it in about a week or so and let us know if she gets in trouble, or you get in trouble, or there was no investigation and he was just blowing smoke up your butt.

[LinuxJon]

OP, best of luck brah. You've got balls, which is something few people seem to have these days when it comes to things that involve getting their paycheck.

It should be fairly easy to see what's up, if there is any proof at all that her husband was applying for the position. She had a vested interest in the story happening the way you say it did, and you seem to have no vested interest in lying.

Keep us updated brah.

Hope she gets fired or transferred for your sake. Otherwise I think you're in for a miserable time.

I probably wouldn't have done it but good for you for sticking to your morals.

I've been waiting for something to shake up this HR structure a long time, definitely looking forward the outcomes of this

[JRJester]

HR dept is the biggest joke in any business. I'm making it my life's quest to eradicate it. It adds no value whatsoever to the organization
