Spoiled Little Rich Boy Whines, Film at 11.

A "FieryLatina" who works in Human Resources for a financial institution sends in this little doozy.

As you know, you can apply for just about any job online these days. Sometimes these systems are browser or operating system specific for varying reasons. I'm told that if one doesn't have a compatible system, they are invited into branch offices to apply, or they can go to libraries.

What galls me about this particular submission is the whole entitlement syndrome going on here. It seems that people think that companies should fall over themselves trying to give you a job. The notion of competition and having something to offer an employer is completely lost on a good number of people.

Let's hand it over to Fiery Latina now:

Our hiring page says in giant lettering that you have to be using Windows and IE to continue. But he thinks with his expensive Mac system he should be immune. This candidate does not realize that we are inundated with applications. If you are complaining and behaving like this now, why would we trust you to our customers or want to put up with you? GET REAL!

Hello, I am using the latest 17-inch Apple MacBook Pro with Intel 2.16 GHz Core Duo with 2 GB of DDR2 667MHz RAM and all the options, running Mac OS 10.4.7 and latest version of Safari which is capable to run all that IE 7.0 can run, yet it does not allow me to apply, I have the sufficient hardware and believe have the sufficient OS and browser, can something be done concerning this?

Fiery Latina responds to the JHM that he should apply using a compatible system.

I just find that to be very cumbersome and
inconvenient that a valid choice is not given, not
even in browser choice; clearly Microsoft and its
monopoly is being favored. I think this is wrong
considering that the many Mac users and the fact that
Safari can handle all the scripting that Internet
Explorer can and then some. Oh well, I guess I have no
choice, but to travel the ~50 miles to go to the
nearest library and wait in line to use the Internet
terminal. I hope this email will not affect my
employment opportunities with (deleted).

Somebody get this baby a binky! Are we to understand that you live 50 miles from a public library but can somehow commute to this job?!?! You're right, it's all a conspiracy, Microsoft is part of the Illuminati and this company's a part of the whole world takeover scheme.

Lord forbid you simply take the initiative to apply for this job. Instead you whine and complain.

My advice for this job seeker: You should find a job with a very powerful labor union that likes to strike over every little thing. Have you considered working for the government, maybe in Driver's Licensing? Perhaps a big Worker's Comp settlement will be the winning lottery in your career future!
