Not sure why you are defending him on this matter, he was notorious for doing shite like that.


Don't think I have defended him as much as pointed out that no one has first hand accounts of him randomly firing in the elevator. Even though this appears to be a near daily event. :lol:

only first hand account in the thread just has him asking the poster what he did for his paycheck.

The Register likely still has the nip slip of her somewhere in their files. Happened 25 years or so ago

I wish this happened before. God wouldn't have let Charlie get shot had the revival happened last year.

This group let Charlie down not doing it last year.

I completely do. A boss dealing bullshite that he pays someone too much for buying coffee vs free coffee sounds like a place I want to work. Sounds like good banter.


Firing on the elevator for riding 2 floors with latte feels like bs.

I only say this because I have know a few dozen people who worked for Shaw and had a good experience but still tell the same exact story about "knowing" it happened. No one has a name or details though, just the story.

So my original point of the elevator story is supported by your story that you don't know someone fired on the elevator.

What I would give for a 65 year old retiree to help me put at an Ace hardware.

My only commitment to my community is that if I hit the powerball I will operate an old man hardware store at a loss just to help the community.

. You want me to text the person who watched it happen and have them make an account here and post about it?


Sure. Im betting they heard it from someone who was really on the elevator. Or else why would they have not been fired too?

It’s probably all just made up bullshite for… reasons. That’s plausible.


I mean, yeah, pretty much how office rumors go.

Again...no first hand accounts.

So again....no first hand account.

Any incident in S. La. Happen and we have 4 posters with cameras and first hand knowledge. Shaw shenanigans....



I don't doubt he was an a-hole. Just saying this is the same bullshite old.wives tale I have heard for 20 years with no one coming forward to say it first hand.

No one thinks to ask how she lived in BR without a car?

All I have learned from this thread is Shaw hired a bunch of idiots who don't ask the second question. 500 people fired in the elevator and no one has met one of them.

Do YOU have any first hand knowledge of someone fired in the elevator?

Correct but the locals would prefer you never mention this.


If I ever have to move back to BR I will be all up in your area. Shopping at your stores. Buying the bolts at your hardware store. Getting lottery tickets. :lol:
You are no doubt a qualified candidate in the industry, Im sure you have had other opportunities, what about this company made you stay for XX amount of years?

The ole rub and tug flattery.

He was known for firing people in those elevators if they didn’t give him an answer he liked


Have heard this story. Have never heard someone say they were fired this way.
In an interview I was asked "why should we hire you over another candidate?"

My.honest answer was "if the other candidate has 20 years experience and wants the job I can't compete with that...."

The next guy has 25 years experience. They hired him.

They hired me 2 weeks later when someone transferred. The manager said my answer was a point of discussion afterwards and it made them come back to me.
If they are interviewing you again that is a great sign.

Just because they chose someone ahead of you doesn't dismiss you ability or attraction. You never know why they chose the other person. Could be experience, interview, or just thought they could get off cheap.


I also think a good followup question from you should be what made them come back to you after they hired someone else. What made the other person not work. Don't be smug with your question but be honest. Their answer may make you realize why the other person didn't work out. May save you an "experience'

Never met the man.

Saw him waiting in the driveway on Higjland for his kids to be picked up to school even though he could have been in the office or pulling the executive card.

He paid for me to watch the LSU v Oregon game in Dallas back in whatever year that was.

Fine in my book.

It's always funny to hear the screaming that Israel is going to eradicate Palestinians and yet almost 20% of Israel's "congress" is Palestinian.
