I am so livid, I'm shaking.

DH has been looking for work and this optical place seemed very interested. He had an in person interview and it went great. Two weeks went by, and though he followed up, nothing happened. The in store manager said that she couldn't hire him directly, her regional manager had to make the call.

Then the in store manager called and said her manager would be calling for a phone interview that day. That was last Friday and he has yet to receive a phone call.

He called again to the in store manager today to do another follow up and the in store manager snapped at him, "We've decided we need someone with optical experience, so I'm just going to hire someone and say the position has been filled."

The level of unprofessionalism just ASTOUNDS me. I had an appointment with the optometrist there and I called and cancelled. Because she answered the phone, I had to say something. I told her it was inexcusable for her to be so rude to him. She tried saying she was never rude to him, but I could tell by the tone of her voice that DH wasn't exaggerating.

The job market is so effing tight that I just want to go drop kick her. I'm probably overreacting and I know I WAY overstepped my bounds, but I'm so pissed. DH is really starting to get downtrodden about the whole job search thing and the fact that some biatch with a stick up her a$$ can't even be professional about it just makes me SO upset.

Wow.  Well, I know he probably would be happy to just have a job, but here's hoping he finds one soon and with a good boss who's not a b!tch.  I'm sure she wouldn't be pleasant to work with.

Yeah, that's what he said too.

that's horrible. I find that, at my job, the blame game is soooo bad right now. Everyone wants to cover their asses and any hint of a problem gets blamed on others.

I hope he gets something soon.

Carry on!!  Your anger and frustration is only hurting you and stressing out your DH.  It's hard, and you're entitled to be disgusted, but get it out of your system so that you can move forward in a productive way.
