Congrats Kevin. I was in the same boat. I fantasized about punching my supervisor everyday. I finally, after submitting 40 applications, got an interview at a company. During my interview he told me they had one position available. This is a small company and there is only three employees.
Well my interview went good and I was pretty sure I got the job. After a couple of days I get a phone call from the shop manager stating they had hired a guy with 20 years experience. I was floored.
In the mean time my boss at my current position told me I had to work mandatory overtime on Friday. When I told him I would have to check with the babysitter to see if she could watch my 3 kids, he informed me that If I didn't come in I was going to be suspended.
I told this to my potential new boss as we had discussed this in the interview. I couldn't believe what I heard next. My potential new boss said "tell you what. Tell your boss to shove it where the sun doesn't shine, take you suspension and come work for me."
He said he liked me so much he convinced the owner to hire two people!
Now I am making $1.50 more an hour, plus I get commission, schedule is a M-F 8-5 gig instead of all over the place, and I start Monday. I already love this place.
Seems like people like to play pranks now haha. I was so hoping to get this job and I did so im happy.
Congrats again Kevin.
