My husband and I moved to Florida and still had to decide where we wanted to live, so I gave my 4 week notice to Comcast, with the plan to get back on once we relocated. I drove to two 2nd interviews that went great. HR set up those interviews, but did not even check previous company records first. When the 2 managers wanted to hire me, I received a canned email from HR that " they were looking elsewhere". I immediately called the HR gal who then informed me that they discovered there was a "needs improvement" status on my record, and I can NEVER be re-hired. I was totally heartbroken. Especially since I had no idea my previous boss, whom I respected greatly, had left the company before he was able to correct this HR record. I even had 3 great letters of recommendation and a solid sales record, but there "was nothing they could do." This is a great example of how a Human Resources dept. has become too strong, and makes rules to protect their own employment. It is very hard to get hired on at Comcast if you are good, so HR just keeps hiring people that give up easily or can't take the pressure, so their work load remains constant.
