America The Beautiful

Hiring Advice - - September 4, 2008 -- Norman E. Hooben

You’re driving down the road just paying attention to your driving and the other traffic around you. You’ve made this trip many times; maybe even every day. You pass many familiar sites and buildings and such; you pay very little attention to these. You go by the gas station, the shopping center, the strip mall and the beauty shop. Would you say that you are complacent to these things? Sure. You could care less. Right?

Now let’s take that last item… the beauty shop. Do you care what’s going on inside there? Most likely, you would not. Somebody you know in there, maybe so. How about if one of the employees was pilfering cash from the cash register? You wouldn’t know…or wouldn’t care. But, a-ha, now you are the owner of that beauty shop. Are you beginning to care? You bet!

Now upon auditing the register and customer slips you find out that, yes indeed, one of your employees (you know, the one you hired) is no longer considered trustworthy and you have to take some drastic measures. Firing the employee may help somewhat but the damage has already been done; you’ve been robbed and you may have been robbed all along.

Here we have a situation whereas you thought you were hiring an upstanding, honest individual because the interview went so well. The prospective employee at the time had an excellent use of the English language and was very convincing. The person sold her/himself with good salesmanship and you bought it (hired the person).

You find out later that if you had only inquired about this person there was ample evidence from other sources (references, prior employers, police, etc.) that this person was truly unreliable. But I see, you really hired the person because she/he was an honor student at Demagoguery Beauty Academy.

Remember now, you are the owner. You are the owner of your country. It is your responsibility to hire honest, upstanding people to work in your beauty shop, America the Beautiful. And you can find ample evidence that Barrack Hussein Obama is untrustworthy, unfaithful, and dishonest to his employer (you). Are you going to wait until the damage has already been done? Or, Are you going to take drastic measures? Fire him now before the damage to America the Beautiful turns ugly. Don’t be complacent with her, she’s your country!
