Folks, this link is not kid friendly, and only marginally work friendly - but it is too hilarious not to share!
This guy apparently spent some time as a technical support staffer for Verizon. He was obviously working in a Canadian call center, where Verizon had outsourced some work. This is fairly standard in the telecom industry.
After posting his Verizon exit interview on his web site I’m guessing that:
a) He’s not going to be doing any more work for Verizon or the call center that outsourced him to them.
b) He’s not going to be doing any work for any other future employer that happens to Google him and read his personal web account.
But hey, I don’t guess that’s too much of a problem for him since his personal philosophy is:
The answer isn’t so much as what I’m going to do, but what aren’t I going to do? I … hate working. Working is for suckers.
See the side-splitting exit interview here.

As funny as some of his responses are… would you hire him if he was applying for any position at your company? The fact he posted this to his own website and google has likely archived this means he is going to have to face that question in the future.
No doubt that this is both equally hillarious and fiendishly stupid!
Any good hiring manager would hold this against this guy for at least a few years. Maybe 2-3 years from now if I came across it I might consider giving him an opportunity to address it.
Even then he would need to practically grovel in his younger self’s stupidity to actually get a job.
Finally, if he managed to convince me that he was a changed person he would be on “probation” far longer than average.
Yeah Yeah.
If he goes to work for a large company, he need not worry. Most hiring managers haven’t got a clue of how to really use the Internet and will likely never find this.
He can remove this from Google whenever he wants by simply making the request to Google.
