Ok seriously

A quick rant...

I've seen some things in my life that are clear proof someone wasn't thinking. Case in point: I just received a signed offer letter from one of our managers with the rest of the paperwork needed to set up a new hire. That's normal. The fun part was, when I opened the offer letter, it was COMPLETELY BLANK. We use a form letter, the manager just has to fill in the relevant parts (name, position, salary, reporting manager, etc). None of that was there. And the candidate signed it. Not only that, they initialed all three pages, too..........


Um........ WTF? Do we really want to hire someone who will sign a completely blank document without questioning it? Honestly? I know details aren't really your forte, but come on!

I sent it back and said, "please fill out the form and send me a signed, completed copy." I resisted the urge to say "because what she signed isn't an offer of employment. It's a blank form that only an idiot would sign."

That is all.
