I went in for an interview on Tuesday, March 6th with Erin Leone, The Director of Human Resources, at the Levittown Ford Dealership for a position at the Grand Prix Subaru dealership in Hicksville. She told me that due to my inability to maintain a position for more than 2 years (the longest position I held), that my ability to procure a position at the Subaru dealership would be negatively affected. She also stated that my familial responsibilities to occasionally assist in the care of my father who is a double amputee, a diabetic, and has alzheimers, that those would negatively affect my ability to procure a position. She stated that me needing to possibly needing to leave work early for a family emergency would not take precedent over the job I was doing. And that if I ever needed to leave work early for a family emergency that I would not be allowed to do so. I feel that telling a potential future employee that they will have their hiring process negatively affected because of work history and familial responsibilities. And that family emergencys do not take precedent over work is ridiculous. I feel that this is unfair, unjust, and borders on discrimination. I am not asking for special treatment and I am definitely not asking to be handed a job. Instead I am asking to be treated fairly and justly when it comes to the hiring process. And that I am not told that because of my work history or familial responsibilities, that in so many words, I will not be able to procure the position I applied for. It honestly felt like I was being told I had no chance of getting the job. And for the Director of Human Resources to tell me this. It makes me feel that whomever put her in this position shares her views. And that I would never want to work for a company like that and would definitely recommend that no one gives their business to said company based on their views towards their employees and potential employees.
