I didn't run out of an argument. I just realized I was trying to talk to someone who has the mental capacity of a flea. If you claim bullies don't pick on kids with unusual names, you are not only out of touch with reality, you know absolutely ZERO about schools or children....PERIOD.

But there are thousands if not millions of other people like me who don't want to hire someone with tattoos on their face, or names like "Moonbeam" etc.

and most of them work at McDonalds.

I don't care what someone's racial origin, religion, gender, age, etc. happens to be as long as they can communicate effectively and work well with others.

I always hire the best person for the job, but at the top of every resume is the name of the person. If they've got an oddball name, I read no further. If someone's name is Claud Balls, I laugh and toss the resume in the garbage and I judge the other candidates based on their level of skill, education, and experience.

I've been in the computer network consulting field for about 20 years with a few periods in the middle doing other jobs when computer jobs were scarce (bartender, casino dealer, etc.). The nature of consulting is that you move around a lot. You are hired for a certain period of time for a salary higher than permanent employees.

Right now I make $85,000 a year, but on average I've always made $60k or higher. I've never worked at McDonalds, though I have worked in fast food when in high school, and I delivered pizzas for extra money when things got tough. I have always paid my bills and never taken a dime of money from any government welfare plan.

Why so interested in my job? I don't go to your job and slap the plunger out of your hand or the dick out of your mouth.

So maybe you don't always hire the best person for the job. Maybe the best person has a name you consider stupid. That you judge them on their name..... well... it makes you look a little..... stupid?

Well I also happen to be qualified in IT and I wouldn't piss on someone's overheated circuit fire for what you make. Of course you wouldn't hire me because my name would make it obvious I'm female....

The best person for the job isn't always the most qualified or best educated. You can have someone who knows pretty much everything, but if he can't get along with others, or doesn't fit in with the rest of the team, he's worthless to me.

I went through a lot of people at my last job. I've hired people and told them to pack up their things and leave before lunchtime came around. I've gone through 3 or 4 people in a week until I get someone who has skills and who can actually get along well. I've met more techs with padded resumes claiming to have skills when they don't know shit about I.T. (like you perhaps)

I could care less about whether or not you're female, but I wouldn't hire a bitch like you. Minimum wage would be too much for your ilk.

As far as your qualifications and earnings go, congrats on making more money than me. Good for you. If I were you, I wouldn't bet your qualifications were better than mine, but it's nice that you can find work for that much money....assuming you don't really live in a trailer somewhere collecting welfare, with 2 kids that have freaky names, making up lies about being in I.T.

But why? I still don't understand what possible correlation someone's name has to their job performance. I am trying to understand why you would do this. I mean--are you afraid of being embarrassed at introducing them?

Not just that. Every member of the team represents you. If they have a name that people think is funny or stupid, someone else will assume the team is stupid or not to be taken seriously. I also don't want to have to deal with fights among those who report to me when someone teases them about their name ... which happens even with adults.

If I hire someone named Frank N. Stein, people will think it's a joke.

......it's pretty rich coming from someone who is married to a woman with foreign roots. Maybe he protests a little too much?

One of my grandbabies' middle name is Cloud, in my honor. Does that count?

Whatever you say Radar. You can believe what you want. Your comment was offensive.
