I’m not sure how it is in the field of education but when one person is causing problems like that in peoples lives, at FedEx that would be a serious HR issue and would be dealt with immediately.

I couldn’t agree more.

I wish! They're often really good buddies with their superiors. In one district where I taught, administrators had a wife-swapping group and they were pretty open about it because they knew they'd never get in trouble.

Telephone solicitation for carpet cleaning services. Only lasted two weeks as it was a horrible job. Met another person my first day on the job and we hit it off. She only made it three weeks. Just over a year later she became my sorority sister.

I did telephone solicitation once. The manager tried to talk me out of it, saying that I was "too smart" for the job. After one night, I agreed with her. I called to tell her that I would not be in again, and she could keep the last night's pay which was due to me.

The most disgusting job was for a county row office. I lasted 3 years, although that seems impossible to me now. The last straw was when the County Officer/Politician told me that his friend really "liked" me, and I was to cozy up to Politician's Friend. I refused. When he pushed, I gave notice, and had my father pick me up after work to that last, horrible week.
