[QUOTE="lostintransit, post: 104432, member: 1137"] I can see where you are coming from and agree......to a point. Sometimes there are different ways to look at the situation. Example 1: IF it is indeed a company's or UPS policy to not rehire an individual under any circumstances, that should clearly be stated as a disclaimer to any inquiries. Then it would not be construed as a negative. Example 2: (This event actually happened at my old company.) We had a service technician who had the use of a company van to take home every day. This individual started stealing system components from company job sites and started "selling" these sytems on his OWN using our Company vehicle - it all looked legit to those who didn't look too hard. Anyway, he was fired. He went to a competitor of ours for a job. They called me for a reference and ASKED if we would rehire him again (we had done so once in the past with this guy). I said No, and didn't feel like I was getting one last jab at him. He made the situation what it was and even though he was applying to a competitor, I would not have felt right to refuse to answer that question knowing what I did about the applicant. On the other hand.....if he had left on good terms (even if he was going to a competitor) I would, if asked say that yes, he was eligible for rehire. [/QUOTE]
