Oh my Gosh, I got a call from my work before 7 (AZ time really is brutal) but like, it was my "SW mentor" I guess she was all flipping out about the "Extra week" which was not really an extra week at all. She was like, "We have just had bad luck with out of state people asking for an extension then taking a different job."
I was like, '"Sigh. This isn't really an extra week, it's just my recruiter was out and I went
through the sad and sorry tale, and I was like, "We just sold our house, we have reserved a truck, would you like a copy of the truck rental agreement would that reassure you...." She was like, "No, no, I just wanted to check blah blah blah."
I was like, "Yes, I understand it takes time and money to background check and credential people and yes, we have a social work code of ethics. I would NOT do that I'm sorry. I just wouldn't..I mean, I have neve taken a job and continued looking for other work, in my humble opinion that is
completely unethical because it's not like I know I won't pass or whatever. Trust me, we are LABORING every day to get there." I also asked her about medical care and explained I would have called her but like, I wrote down her phone number wrong.
My husband came in and was like, "OMG is that your WORK?" kind of incredulously. I was like nodding my head at him.
I get it. People do that stuff. I do not do that stuff.
