Sometimes a hypothetical can come in handy.
Let's say you are a seasoned professional blacksmith.
Daugherty Chicago recruits you to be a blacksmith for Daugherty and offers you an attractive salary and great benefits.
Delighted at the prospects you begin your tenure with optimism and enthusiasm.
That enthusiasm begins to ebb after sitting on the bench for a much longer than anticipated timeframe.
You begin to wonder "why was I hired?"
Then one day - voila - they have a "brief" client need that you can fill.
Unfortunately it is not a blacksmith role. But, hey,
"get out of your comfort zone" - "it's not in your wheelhouse but we all love a challenge".
You ask "Since I'm not getting an opportunity to show you my blacksmith skills, what will I be doing?"
You are told "you will be a triage nurse".
You say "but I'm not a triage nurse, I'm a blacksmith, a highly experienced blacksmith, that's why you made me an offer that made me leave my previous employer".
They say "don't worry, you'll do fine".
Then you get to your assignment to find that you are the ONLY triage nurse with a room full of emergency patients.
You do your best, but again, you are a blacksmith, not a triage nurse.
The client asks for a replacement triage nurse.
Daugherty Chicago treats you like a failure, and without an ounce of decorum, fires you - the seasoned blacksmith - for not succeeding as a triage nurse who's had no experience or training as a triage nurse.
And to top it all off? The separation process is downright nasty! The crassness of the separation process is enough to compel you to take the time to leave a review on Glassdoor.
It makes you wonder if the recruiters only get paid to recruit - regardless of opportunities.
Do yourself a tremendous favor, avoid Daugherty Chicago.
