Accepted Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY Jan 2009 – Reviewed Oct 25, 2012
Interview Details – This happened after I was hired: I was given a Final Warning w/o 1st or 2d warnings, for e sending an email "you're not my secretary" to a client while I was dealing with my dad's death, my looming lung surgery, and my son's need for special ed.
Interview Questions
- They gave me the Final Warning letter to sign w/o my union present, in the CEO's office, under extreme pressure, w/o time to read or question it. Like the Nazis. There technique is to get an underling into an office, w/o warning or representation, and say "Sign now!" View Answer
- When layoffs began in Jan 2009, I knew nothing. Called my boss to confirm 11 am meeting. At 10:30, she said "Come to the HR room." There I was given a 3-mo comp pkg (in the midst of the worst Recession since 1930s), w/o union representation, and told to sign it ASAP. (In fact, they already had shut down my computer and planned an escort out of the bldg in front of coworkers of 9 yrs. Mind you, I had not stolen anything, plagiarized anything, hampered the cash cow of NYLJ at all, to my knowledge. I was treated like a Dead Guilty Man Walking as I had to pack up things while others looked on and hurry out. They didn't care if I had the slightest thing personal on the computer after 9 years or if I left something in my desk accidentally after 9 years. I was a non-person, a nuisance, not deserving of simple human courtesey. View Answer
Negotiation Details – Take it or leave it. If you don't like it, there are plenty out there who we can hire. Don't waste our time. Klieg lights shone in my face.
