Like WTF. He comes home today soo early... he has been working with his current cmployers for over a year and went for his first interview to become supervisor (he already has experience--because he supervises on teh Friday night shift) .. so it's not like he doesn't know what to do.. he's already trained for it!.. Soo he went to the first interview and made it to the next interview (which was between Him and this new guy) ... well he gets news today that he didn't get the position and the new guy did. WTF... this new guy was being trained BY my FH for the job FH does (Office Clerk) For a warehouse.  ... this new guy has been slacking, is CONSTANTLY claling FH at home when FH is OFF work and asking him how do I do this, how do I do that.. like WTF ... he's a Sh!thead.. seriously what a D!ck ...no one likes him and he can't remember what to do half the time.. & he has no family, no goals, just works because he 'needs the money' ... when he's at home all he does is play and beat video/computer games. He has no responsibility but work and can hardly handle that himself. I have no f*cking clue WTH they are thinking. FH deserved this more than anything. He's getting married, we have our OWN place.. our OWN BRAND NEW car, just got ACCEPTED for a CREDIT CARD a few months ago.. and we have a ew puppy and are planning our family already.. I mean, we have goals and responsibilities.. this guy doens't need the money and has plenty of time before he'll even get up off his @$$ and try to make something of himself. I knwo I'm being soooo against this guy.. but I'm SO P!$$3D ... FH deserved this more than anyone does. The only downfall I can even think of is his age!.. but he has been there for this company since he started.. he has worked OVERTIME like crazy and saved their @$$es on more than ONE occasion (with shipments and so on)... and he is supporting us by himself... because I don't have a job. Our insurance even jsut went up and money is getting tight with the wedding coming up,.. and we were talking about buying a new house if he got this raise (he's be going from 26 a year to 36) now a house is flushed downt he toilet. What if we have a kid?.. I wanted to have a house.. no a duplex.. I'm thankful for everyhting we have, but FH is upset to the point that he said he felt sick and came home.. and is going to the doctor for a note tomorrow so he can get the rest of the week off work.

FH usually goes to work even when he's so sick he's puking! That's HOW DEDICATED he is! He got REALLY sick last week and didn't get a doctor's note because he is that dedicated and knew he needed that job. I knew we'll get through this. But I'm so p!$$ed.. UGH! I just needed to get it out. F*ck.

FH looked right at the guy and said, "I guess it's all down hill from here, you made the wrong choice." Because everyone in the office knows that this guy can't do anything himself..

I just can't believe the ignorance.. does ANY place even look into the fact that some of these people have families.. trying to support themselves & the families?? 

Oh and the reason they apaprently gave the job to the other guy (because if they mention anything about age they can be brought to court or it can be brought to the head mamangement or something).. they said it's because the other guy has 3 years PICKING experience (like loading trucks and stuff)--that's what the warehouse people do.. and FH does have experience... you have to help with that stuff when you're supervisor.. so that's the reason.. PPFFTT. Way to have consideration.. Whoo Hoo..!! F*ck Them.

I'm done.. sorry if I sound like a ***** but I think I have a right to be upset. I feel so bad for FH.

I'm sorry that you're upset.  But bashing the other guy's lifestyle isn't productive or helpful.  I know you're just mad and venting, but don't hold the other guy responsible.  It wasn't his decision.

And take it from someone who had kids WELL before I was anywhere near financially ready: it's okay to wait to have kids!  I understand being impatient, but if you wait until you're really well settled, you'll feel so much better about it!

You mentioned that you don't have a job.  Out of curiosity, if you're so stressed about finances, why don't you get a job?  And I don't mean that in any kind of rude, snarky way.

I know I shouldn't bash--I'm just upset is all. I have a lot of respect for people, and I feel soo bad for Fh .. if anyone deserved this he did. I just don't understand. As for this guy, I've met him, he's a good guy. I have nothing against him.. and I understand where you're coming from, I hold myself accountable for 'bashing' his lifestyle.. but I just needed to let out my anger anyway I could whether I'm being unresonable or not. Again, I'm just ranting. I'm usually a really calm person, it's rare you'll see me post a rant, but when i do, I AM some nasty. Again I hope no one sees me as a ***** here.. I do know I should calm some, and since I posted this topic I have calmed down. Promise.

As for not having a job I have no means of transportation. We have one car and just moved in the middle of no where (a french community).. I'm only english, there's a convience store across the street I'm going to go ask if they'd hire me. But I've already seen on the doors they'll only hire biligual people but it's worth a try.. if I can get that, great.. but if not, there's nothing I can do living so far away from everything. Me & FH are just in a bit of a tough spot with the wedding & insurance going up. We're living.. we just expected him to get this job... which was a let down on its own.

I just felt that FH really busted his @$$ with this company and has been working since he was 13 ... bought his own first car at 16.. etc.. and that this was something I really thought he deserved and I don't want him feeling like he's not good enough. Because he sure as h3ll is.

I can understand how frustrating this must be for both of you - and a huge disappointment.

But the employer probably didn't take lifestyle and who needs the job more into account when they made the decision. It could have come down on the side of this other guy for any reason - his experience, a job connection, who they felt wouldn't be ambitious enough to leave the job for a better one, who knows?

The only options your FH has in this is to look for a different job somewhere else (if he's so upset with the company that he thinks less of them for this decision), keep plugging at the company he's at, or resign himself to not being promoted.

However, I wouldn't help the new guy at all. Maybe that's just me being petty, but they made the choice, let them deal with the consequences. If this guy is calling your FH at home to find out how to do the job, I'd tell him to not answer the phone. Let them realize what a mistake they made hiring someone who didn't know the job.

I understand completely how you feel. Dh was with a company for 6 years...and was passed over for a management position by a person that he trained.It was a horrible mess.  So he quit and we moved away

just my 2 cents but maybe your fh needs to find a job where you can also work.. so then that way you dont have to stress out about money

Wedding Sept 15th 07, Lily born Nov 27th 07, and baby davis #2 is expected some time in Nov 08 ya we work quickly hahaha

no offense here.. but you sound really immature in this post.

I totally feel for you that he didn't get it... and what you say about the other worker sounds like your fh deserved it alot more.

However, it is not the employers responsiblity to look at YOUR lifestyle when choosing someone for a position. ALSO... you should NEVER bank on something you don't have.  He didn't have the job given to him yet, and yet you go and get a Car, and a dog... etc.

also a credit card is great to have to build your credit rating, but it doesn't mean you have to use it.

It would be nice to have a house... and everything else.. but live within your means.....  and I agree with pp's when they say you should really be trying a lot harder to find a job if money is a stresser. Even at minimum wage, at least it's an income, and would make a HUGE difference if you got full time somewhere.  You don't have children now, so it seems like the perfect opportunity for you to go out and save up some cashola to buy the house you love.

Good luck.
