Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005OT Again (Sorry about this) - Job Posting
This is actually pretty funny. I was searching monster.com for I.T. jobs and ran across this listing: Support Analyst, Sr. - I3211 Company: Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc. Location: US-TN-Memphis Status: Full Time, Employee Job Category: Computers, Software Career Level: Experienced (Non-Manager) Education Level: Associate Degree CLAIM YOUR FUTURE AS A GREAT PERFORMER! Continuing double-digit revenue growth rates and progressive employment practices make Sedgwick Claims Management Services the place where great people can do great things for clients while maximizing their career possibilities. We have earned a reputation for innovation, quality, sustained growth, financial stability and a colleague-friendly work environment. Come be a part of our team and "claim your future." PRIMARY PURPOSE: To ensure problem recognition, research, isolation, resolution and follow-up is handled timely; and to test supported software updates. ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS and RESPONSIBILITIES: 1.. Identifies, researches and resolves problems reported by our customers via phone or e-mail. 2.. Logs and follows up on help desk calls and e-mails; escalates calls appropriately to programming or parameter team, follows up and closes calls in a timely manner. 3.. Handles more complex calls and e-mails. 4.. Tests all software enhancements to the supported applications prior to release. 5.. Provides guidance and/or training for lesser experienced colleagues as required. 6.. Supports the Total Performance Management initiative. 7.. Travels as required. This was MY f.cking job! I wonder who they lost or fired this time? S. was the only other Senior Analyst there and was looking for a way out of that department even before I was let go. Then after I left they promoted M. who had been there less than a year. She always had to leave early because of "emergencies" with her daughter or husband. I had to laugh when I heard she was a "senior analyst". She couldn't analyze her way out of a paper bag. As to the testing of all software applications, gee - isn't that what they created the QA department for? What the hell happened to it? I need to email and ask F. They must be getting desperate to post this to monster.com because there's no way someone can walk into that job without already knowing the software first. It's not commercial software; it's written by and only used by SCMS colleagues to process the claims. I'm seriously considering sending my resume as a joke. Might give someone a good laugh. I know it would give me one! heheh Jill (who somehow thinks they might be missing me) > This was MY f.cking job!

Then if they come back to you that will be the even bigger joke!

LOL I also emailed one of my friends there who told me two people had left the department to take other positions within the company (under different manager - surprise!).

Not as long as the same woman is managing the department (she is). That same co-worker just called me on the phone to fill me in on some stuff going on there. I already knew they moved the former department supervisor to another department (basically without asking). The woman supervising the department now told F. just the other day, firing me was the stupidest move they ever made.

I don't want to suggest anything improper, but I'd like to know what this woman did to get in such a position of power. She manages three departments. I personally have witnessed her abusing her position to belittle people (she said sort of offhandedly to B. in front of everyone in our department people with 'Southern Accents' are generally stupid - B. transferred to Memphis from Charlotte; the Manager is from Chicago which she rails on and on about as being the greatest city in America). She humiliated B., who is not stupid. Unfortunately, this woman has something, I don't know what. HER boss called me into his office on Halloween, 2003, to tell me what a great job I was doing. By the end of April, 2004 I was gone. So much for her boss thinking I'm great. (He's been there even less time than she has, and both of them less time than me.) Oh, and try sitting through an unexpected meeting with the Assistant I.T. Director whilst wearing a boned bodice, hoop skirt and Scarlett O'Hara wig. http://community.webshots.com/photo/156785843/156786523XokiaV Jill >>> I did!

It took a while, but everyone finally saw what she was up to. The funny/sad part was that she never saw it coming. She caused all of her best people to quit, got a couple of people fired, and went over the head of her own supervisor for issues that those higher ups didn't have the time to deal with. IOW, she hung herself. SignatureCheryl >>>> I did!

One can only hope. This woman has entirely too much power, IMHO. Jill I wouldn't even send it in as a joke, I would send it in seriously.

It probably involves phone support, and besides, you were only truly happy after you left that job. :) >> They must be getting desperate to post this to monster.com because >> there's no way someone can walk into that job without already [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > probably involves phone support, and besides, you were only truly > happy after you left that job. :) I was in that job for 5 of my 11 years there; I did actually like it. In fact, I'm the reason the "Senior" position was created. Call it ego if you will but my experience and skill level was so far above those who were just hired I was rather insulted to be thought of on the same 'level'. I was training and mentoring them, reviewing their support calls, etc. So I wrote a proposal to the then manager to create a second-tier position, if you will. They did; HR approved it, graded it higher than the entry level with suitable higher salary ranges. It was only after they reorganized and changed managers things started to get rocky. If that hadn't happend I'm sure I'd still be there. As it is, I now have NO income and when I do find a job I sure won't start out with 25 vacation days. Jill [[I'm seriously considering sending my resume as a joke. Might give someone a good laugh. I know it would give me one! heheh Jill (who somehow thinks they might be missing me) ]] I think you're right. For the heck of it, unless you TOTALLY loathe and despise the idea of working there again, send in your resume. See what they have to say. Chances are, they'll appreciate you better the second time around. If you even want to go back, that is. Donna
