It really sucks because it wasn't any fault of his or anything.
We just can't afford it right now.

As usual, hugs to everyone in this thread. :group:

I've been away from for 4 days now without any access to music gear other than my acoustic guitar. And I miss making music so much. I hadn't realized it occupied so much time of my days.

Yep, still feel like shit.
Things were a little calmer when he came by for his final check and we talked about figuring out how to straighten all the financial shit up here so we can hire him back and whatnot.

But the whole situation has really burned me out because it's like firing your uncle rather than just letting an employee go.

I just got rejected from a job because the person taking my app has a disdain for my Alma Mater. I'm not sure if I find it hilarious or pathetic. :lol:

Seriously?

right to work is the right to be employed without being forced to join a union. :p

It's shitty and petty and stupid but it's not inherently illegal.

Hmm.
Well.
Then it should be legal to smash the guy's kneecaps with a baseball bat.

It's not illegal at all, it's even encouraged. Being discriminatory about education is a cornerstone of American work culture. :lol:

Agreed, for better of for worse. I disqualify applicants all the time based on the fact that they went to degree mills (not implying that about you, though, Connie). Did it about a dozen times earlier today. But I don't tell them that. And it isn't because of rivalries or 'taste.' I just think for-profit schools are terrible.

And that is the applicants fault?
