Your timeline is off. It's never taken that long to re upgrade. 8 years max. Look you can act all high and mighty and pass judgement on this company and every regional out there. You can act like you stood up to the man. But bottom line is the company told you to do something that is well within their rights to do and you lied and then got caught with your pants down. Kind of hypocritical if you ask me considering what you are accusing the recruiting department of.
