CRASH: There goes a loser

The other day I became a victim of an individual lacking character. This individual stopped by Stratford Building Corporation to pick up an application for employment, stated he would complete the application in his vehicle, and return it to our receptionist. Rather than doing so, he sped out of our parking lot, hitting the front of my car. This was all observed by our office receptionist.

Rather than having the courtesy and decency to come back into our office, he left the parking lot without returning to explain what had happened and assume responsibility for his action.

Yes, I have insurance that will cover a portion of the repair costs, less my deductible. Unfortunately, it is an expense I would not be faced with had this individual had the decency to assume responsibility for his actions.

There are many reasons why individuals are not employed and I cannot begin to know why this individual is in such a position and is seeking employment. What I do know is that more often than not, an individual’s real character comes through during the interview process.

It is clear this person lacks character and fails to assume responsibility for his actions, both of which makes him a less than desirable employee.
