I've never seen anything like it. I am kinda glad with the new baby but every week they ask for something, wouldn't you think HR has a checklist they would ask you to provide up front or in one correspondence??
I'm waiting for them to ask for a genealogy/DNA report or a family tree next?!?!?!

What a palaver! Are you going to be selling for these guys? I'd be worried about their ability to process an order without losing the customer given their performance so far.

That's exactly what I was thinking, if the whole company moves like this I see a lot of pissed off people in my future

Maybe a call to your new boss is in order - asking if he can't cut through the cr*p as you'd like to get to work. No point in starting with a reputation as someone who sits backs and takes it

This morning's e-mail came from my new boss, I don't want to get off on a bad foot. To be fair he did tell me that it would take a 'couple of weeks' as the corporation is so big they take forever............. but he told me that about 5 weeks ago in my interview. Oh well it's good I can enjoy the new baby as I said

Yeah - I guess you have to balance eager with pushy. Hope they get it sorted soon anyhow.

At last!!!..............kind of. Everything finally cleared and checked out with the new company doing my background check and I got a green-light to start the new job. Spoke to my boss and I negotiated a start date of Jan 3rd 2006, which I thought was best with the new baby and the holidays.

I just hope they move faster for customers than they do for new hires, a month to do a background check FFS!
