Some time ago, BBY Corporate sent out an e-mail about blueshirtnation.com — a networking tool for Best Buy employees, like MySpace, or Facebook.  “Like I really need another one of those,” I said. “Delete.” …Of course I signed up for it…especially upon learning that the mod for the site is in advertising up at corporate.  See, every now and again, I play around with the idea of moving on up to the Best Buy Campus in the sky [Minnesota?].  Then, like clockwork, something will happen that will shake me to my little blue-shirted core, and I will remember why I fucking abhor this company with the scorn of a thousand suns.

[Okay, that doesn't even make sense. But I hate it. A lot.]

Hey, remember when I did HR-stuff for the store, like hiring coordinator stuff?  I really liked it, so much, in fact, that I gave the impression that I wished we had a full-time position for it.  [Like, for example when I said, to anyone that would listen, "If we had a full-time hiring and training coordinator position, I would apply for it in a heartbeat."  . . . .]  When I accepted the position back the warehouse, my manager put the kabosh on those responsibilities so I could focus on my new job.  Last week, another manager had commented how he had missed me doing the hiring-related duties.  I thought that was complimentary, nice.

Then…

I learned this morning that a full-time hiring coordinator position had, in fact, been created and it had, in fact, already been filled.

WTF.

Honestly, Blog, I can’t even go into the BitchFest 2K7 that occured as a result of this.  Twelve hours later I am sitting here, having vented to nearly everyone close to me and can now barely stand to write about it. The main source of pain is personal.  [why wasn't I picked why wasn't I good enough why was I forgotten?] Would it be a Jenn Drama without me taking something totally personally to the point of inappropriateness? I should say not!
Secondly, there wasn’t even a formal opportunity to apply for the motherfucking position.  Against company policy? Probably.  I’d look it up but I’m pretty sure I burned my employee handbook in my last BBY Fit of Rage.  At least give me the chance to interview; then reject me.  I am not foreign to this.

…So at this point I was going to go into a conclusion about how Best Buy is still corrupt, yada yada..and then Damon came in and mentioned that Britney Spears attempted suicide and I was all like wow…okay so I feel kind of stupid blogging about some idiotic retail chain.  Especially since I’ll be leaving in August and I won’t ever have to deal with it again.

A for effort/C- for conclusion

The End.
