Poll: Escapists - Where do you live? (OR: Escapists near you!)

[Carnage95]

I live in Southeast Asia, Singapore. A small island which shows itself as a tiny dot on the world map just below Malaysia.

 

[RickyRich]

From the United States. But, more specifically the Commonwealth of Virginia. I like to throw in "Commonwealth" to make us sound fancy.

 

[crudus]

Well, sorry to depress you, I'm just that cheery.

Don't worry. I am going through the same thing right now. I have found the only way to get a job right now is through nepotism.

 

[Philol]

I live in England in a town called Beverley, but as I'm at uni I'm currently living in Middlesbrough.

Oh, don't get me started on nepotism. My friend encountered it. His mom works at a motorcycle dealership, other than her most of the people that work there part owners since because they are members of the family that owns the business.

Well there was spot opening up for hire, and my fiend's mom tried to see if she could get him the position, just as something to hold him over until he could get a job that fit the actual field he wants to get into.

Well the sister owner of the store, she works there as well(is in charge of hiring), and she told my friend's mom that she couldn't hire him because they "aren't allowed to hire family members of employees". The next day, my friend's mom found out that the woman hired her nephew.

So even having a lead on the inside doesn't always work, if the company has hypocritical hiring policies.
