[QUOTE="magoo57, post: 265316, member: 4661"] tooLazy, I think that you are being jacked around. They DO background checks, but nowdays that is done on a paid site to check your legal histories(and possibly credit history). 15 minutes tops. Some HR persons uses the "If they call back then they really must want the job" philosophy, but I smell something else. Was there even a [I]hint[/I] of him wanting his palm greased with a twenty? Call me cynical, but that is the first thing I thought of. Definitely call HR back, and then gently try to steer away from this guy. To those who are wondering why HR does the tours and such..... Some years ago HR discovered that they were getting 25 % turnover the first week. The two theories on why were: a) The word was out that you could get three days of easy pay napping in orientation class and then quit, or b) the new hires did not know until after orientation what their jobs really were all about. The tours have signifigantly cut down on the number of first week quitters. Oh wait. "No One Quits" As far as I am concerned, this was the 600 pound gorilla in the brown uniforn that no one wanted to talk about during the contract negotiations. No one was concerned about the [I]NEXT[/I] UPSer to walk through the doors. Well, I am, TooLazy. You keep us informed if your potential HR department is not giving you the courtesy you deserve. Now if you stole cars in high schools, may I suggest DHL? [/QUOTE]
