As in an under the table "do not hire" database?

Reason I asked is at my last job, I was chased out by an asshole alpha male.

Knowing that prick, he would blacklist me if he could.

So here I am, 2 months later, and every single job interview where I think I'm doing great ends up in no communication what so ever.

Not even a rejection - just silence.

And it just fucking happened again!

So is there some super-secret software industry blacklist out there? It would have to be secret because god knows it would be illegal as all hell.

I keep the list on a flash drive lodged in by bunghole. I would check to see if you're on it but I had some spicy Thai food tonight that didn't agree with me.

:hurts:

Sorry about your job search. Good luck and keep hunting.

3. Nah, There's No List
Employers know that they can treat applicants like trash so they do.

Hang in there. Something will come your way.
