Thing is, they’re the ones who gave him that advice and made it seem as if it were just a formality and that he’d be hired back as soon as he met the requirements. He’s a good dude, hard working and conscientious. I would’ve hired him back in a heartbeat!

After 30 yrs I’d like to say I’m surprised but I have a “expectation zero” mindset now.

Good luck on your journey!
