so i got a little context if i can .
i have 4 siblings there is 5 of us in total ... we live in a little area that seems to be in the middle of nowhere , there for , not many places to work unless your up to drive about 1 hour one way ..
2 of my siblings decided to do that , they moved so they could be closer to the busier part of the state so they dont have to drive much anymore , and while my 1 sibling works at the local gas station ..
me and my little brother have been job hunting together ... and so happens his best friend told us about a few job openings at the place he was working , and they desperately needed people .. so we though "hey why not" he got his application in about 20 -30 minutes before me.
we both got a call the next day , considering they where in such need for workers.
we both got interviews within a day of each other.
his friend told us they really liked me , but were standoffish about him .. which made me laugh cause i was a nervous wreck, and hes always more composed then me.
got a call needing stuff for background checks ,you know , birth dates , ssn .. all that lovely stuff .. then told me they would call me when it came though and let me know when i start .. I WAS SO EXCITED ....
WEEK LATER, my brother gets a call , telling him he got the job , but then told him they had a no sibling policy ..... so i was waiting for a call for week to end up going to my brother , and asking him if he got a call , and he told me ......
why did they let me go through all those hoops just to be rejected ? they knew their policy , and they knew we were siblings ... they actually asked us "how do you feel working with your sibling " we both answered we would have no problem with it .... but why would they ask us that , if they knew one of us would get rejected !? ..
and how come you can work with your best friend , but not a sibling !? i dont get that logic ?! .. how come they couldn't just give us different shifts !? you know like him day shift , and me night shifts . or something . i mean i grew up with my dad , and my little brother grew up with my mom ... just cause were blood related shouldnt matter... right ?
this job was like my only option cause most of the places around here are either filled up , or going out of the business , or closing for the winter ..
can someone explain this to me , and why its a policy , cause , i really dont get it ....
