Not Eligible for Rehire

I'd say they find each other...

First, the Great Recession ended in January 2009. It's been 6 years people -- it is not a valid excuse for why you have a 560 credit score today.

Second, even during the depths of the Great Recession, conscientious individuals could have readily avoided delinquencies. Everyone knows they should have 6 months of savings, but 76% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. It is hard to make a "they don't make enough" argument when 90% of American households pay for television... Still, even with 2 months of savings, just about anyone could have earned $50,000+ in any number of jobs just by relocating to North Dakota anytime in 2007-2009.

Some do. I'd never work for such an outfit any longer than necessary. And I'll be rolling in my grave before my outfit turns to that model.

My TTR time tends to be inversely proportional to the proximity of regulatory filling deadlines (23.5 hours before 2014Q4 IFTA is due -- yes I am aware of my own hypocrisy).

 

Criminey wants to know how or whether to explain that she brought truck in and returned it without a dispatch to do so. Probably wouldn't say 'saved an abandonment.'

If explained at all, need to dress it up better than that.

Returned truck to a regular company location and resigned.

 

Said company lost more than a tractor -- California sued them into bankruptcy, ultimately costing ~2200 jobs. Ironically, 2 years earlier that same state released said driver from a mental hospital against medical advice...

Right you are; past is past & hopefully others learn from her mistake.

She may not ever get/need the opportunity to explain. Applications typically ask why you left a former employer -- in which case she might put something professionally generic like "not a good fit for that company" or maybe "to pursue other opportunities."

If it does come up, it'll probably be during the background check/interview process (something many companies save for "orientation" -- so don't be shocked if you get sent home). If they ask, I would be honest and say "I know now that I was wrong, but I quit with no notice and, in doing so, drove 175 unauthorized miles to return the company truck to its terminal."

 

Dick Simon Trucking of Utah was the owner of the rig that burst into flames after charging the California capitol building in Sacramento where the driver died slumped over the wheel, which Bright One refers to in an earlier post.

See: http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...pany-here/91743-kelles-dick-simons-kid-5.html

One of the insurance issues that came up is that this was no 'accident' but an intentional act, therefore the trucking company would not be held liable. But the driver, a parolee, had serious priors, bizarre acts during training and incidents after assigned a truck. In fact, the trainer quit over the company proceeding to hire the guy. Quite the horror story.

Not very applicable here...

 

The other two cases Bright One refers to are medical cases and discussed here http://preemploymentscreen.com/employment-screening-resources/negligent-referrals/

In almost all requests for references, employers are best off giving the 'name, rank and serial number' response except isolated case where issues involve proven violence or proven drug abuse and only where 'truthful and factual and documented.' Has to be very serious, very likely to recur.

Again, not very applicable here.

 

i have had a company tell me I will not be eligible for re-hire if I leave, about 3 years later they contacted me asking if I would consider going back to work for them, I just hung up, I think Victor_V is right, don't think you got much to worry about

 

Miss Jade, sorry to say I have not read all the respondents, and are responding to your first posting. In regards to "Not eligible for rehire".

In a word regarding that?

FORGEDABOUDIT.

If I were to jot down every time I saw that on may DAC?

I'd be using so much bandwidth, the owner of this site would order me to pay for his server!

It usually means you left under terms they found to be unreasonable.

For me?

I UP AND QUIT, I WORRY NOT ABOUT GIVING ANY NOTICE.

And I get another job every time.

nuff said, good bye.

 

It seems like Gordon didn't give a #### about someone trying to better themselves.

 

Bright One has a remarkable history of hanging in there where many of us would say, 'Screw this and move on.' No doubt he considers that essential to his successful overcoming of adversity. And that others should do the same. There are times when you have to plant your skinny legs in a corner and fight your way back out of it. Was this one?

Probably not. Sometimes it makes more sense to say, 'Screw this.'

Like G.Anthony said, move and forget about it.


//Many a Gordon driver, CougFan comes to mind, pulled themselves off food stamps and from Gordon to a nice gig that paid hourly and got home regularly. Did Gordon care?? Nah, when CougFan gave notice, called him in and had him clean out his truck. But Gordon made it possible.

 

Unfortunately, my advice comes from not always having done what I now recommend:

In my late teens/early 20's I quit 2 jobs without notice; both felt plenty righteous at the time, but seemed stupid months later while I was being turned down for prestigious internships I otherwise deserved.

I also had an ISP send me a bill for service falling well after I terminated our contract. I refused to pay, told them why, and they eventually sent it to collections. I refused to pay, told them why, & they sent it to another collection agency... I eventually got it straightened up, but in the meantime I was turned down for an apartment for having current collection actions (plural because the same incident was referred to 2 different agencies) against me.

Is it fair? Probably not. But by your mid 20's, your frontal lobes fully connect. Before this happens, you can't see quite as far ahead. After it happens, you begin to realize you're not so invincible and you discover yourself weighing possible consequences before making what once were impulse decisions. Life doesn't seem so black and white; most fully accept that life ain't fair and begin to pick their battles.

After my mid 20's, I could easily look back and see that being right (quitting on the spot when presented with an unplanned shift) wasn't worth losing a good internship later; being right about a insignificant dispute wasn't worth being passed over for a good apartment. So do as I say and not as I've done (and sometimes still do)...

Victor grew up in a different time and place. Don't trust anyone over 30. Don't sell out. He has been a faithful champion of fairness, spending most (all?) of that time squaring off against "the man" in defense of "the little guy:" he was integral to the effort to overthrow corrupt government officials; he successfully sued a real estate development for improper eviction procedures.

To him, I bet every company seems like a faceless demon waiting for its chance to exploit customers and employees alike. Some certainly are. I mostly agree on the things that ought to change, but we butt heads over how to implement that change. Vic seems to start off with a whac-a-mole approach, killing poisonous snakes one at a time as he comes across them.

Eventually he tires and seems to shift into a "let's kill all poisonous snakes once and for all" philosophy. Que Quixote. I'd rather make sure everyone knows "red and yellow can kill a fellow" and let folks make their own decision on how to handle that next snake in the grass. Perhaps not as noble as Victor's approach, but much more pragmatic...

Vic will readily admit to being perennially grumpy. A lifetime of tilting at windmills, real & imagined will probably do that. Only on his deathbed did Alonso Quixano find peace; hope Vic finds his sooner...
