to get her in and she did, they offered her a position in the department and as soon as they did what did she do the show her appreciation she began having an affair with one of the boss’s son-in-law and as the cover up she used my husband’s name and friendship as the person she was having the affair with. She was telling her personal business to other employees about this affair but using my husband’s name thinking they wouldn’t come tell me. In turn there was a big confrontation at the job site, I could have lost my job but My manager’s took my side and when the truth came out that it was actually the boss’s son-in-law she was fired because his wife was also a hospital employee. Needless to say I have never spoken to her again and I will never help anyone out again to gain a job at the hospital.
And get her interviewed, hired and a start date she did all the paper work and all she had left to do was the drug and alcohol testing and we know the rest she didn’t show up for them so I looked like a fool she claims she got sick and was admitted to the hospital but I know better. Secondly, my first cousin at the time the hospital was hiring through a temp service for some positions I helped her through that process with the information that I knew to get her in my department once in she had to work so many hours to be considered for a regular position in the department she did everything and worked as many hours as she could and there was times I watched her children so she could work more hours so that she could get the hours in before a 6 month time frame. At the time of her max hours I was asked my the director and the managers about offering her a permanent position she wasn’t always the best employee, didn’t try her hardest but she did come to work and she did get her hours in I gave a good word and everything I could do

In my opinion opportunity is what you make of them if given an opportunity to improve one’s self take it and make the most of it and be thankful. Nepotism is a way of using people, places or things to get what you want or need and this to is done in a good or bad way because some people will use this for good and then some will use Nepotism as a way to take advantage of you, use you and throw you to the side once they got what they wanted. As I stated I did use my mother’s name to get the job I currently have or should I say to get my foot in the door and since I did that I have many opportunities available to me and for my children But I have in two cases tried to do the same thing for people because I now too have a good name at the company and it has back fired in my face. In one case my half sister and she has been working in the same field for a long time so when she needed to find a better job I used myself as I way to get her in the hospital

I believe some people used opportunity to their own benefit some in a good way some in a bad way. And to me Nepotism is wrong to a point but it is a part of life. I to got my current job at the local hospital because of my mom she is currently a 40 year employee, I have been there for 7 years. And as teenager I volunteered at the hospital every summer while in high school but I didn’t have to do the work other volunteers had to do, I got to work in my mom’s department helping her. It’s funny because when I first moved back here I tried to get in the hospital thinking My status of a honorable vet would get me in and over a year went by and I was never called but when I reapplied using my mother’s name they called the next day, I put in my two week notice at the job I had and I’ve been at the hospital every since.
But in my opinion I don't think that their values has changed I just think they know with so many different cultures and races this day in age that they know they are out numbered because although we are all different those different cultures and races with pull together for a cause that is right. To me this is a learned behavior my youngest children go to school there is a boy in their class that constently calls them the "N" word and anything else assoicated with being black and the school does nothing because the teacher doesn't actually hear him but they are only 11yrs. old he has to be learning this behavior somewhere other then school.
Yes everything in this story did happen and it's funny because my uncle and his family are at my home visiting for the holidays. We were always scared for him we would often tell him if he came up missing we know what happened to him. But he said they never bothered him and he didn't bother them but i'm sure somewhere within himself he had to have some fears. "The Compound" as they called it was there own land they purchased and 6 families (all related KKK members) built their homes on it. But from speaking with them just last night I have learned that the family members are not actively involved with the KKK anymore, I don't know for how long but his wife stated that her father went into a depression when her sister was killed by a drunk driver, which her parents divorced because of his treatment towards people. Her other children still live with her mother and they are all in contact often they all still live in the same town and she sees her father every weekend but they haven't spoken in over 2 years.
My uncle, and we are black, first dated the daughter of the head man of the KKK, what is that the loyal knight or exhulted knight or something and after a year of them dating they got married and at the time she was 23years old and my uncle was 52 years old. Now not only did they get married my uncle lived with them on the KKK compound for years they also had a baby and within the past 5 years moved into their own place. Although she had two other children that still live with her parents on the compound but the kids do visit with them in the summer and holidays. But my uncle told us often that her father or any other members of the KKK there never bothered or was disrespectful to him.
Lesson 13 due 7/4/2010
. I hear a lot at work and I work in a very big hospital but I hear many employees so about different doctors things like if you can’t understand other language why be hear, go back to your own country, or that they are plain out rude and ignorant just because they are in the US and I think this is so wrong I mean what did they do to be mistreated. Shouldn’t be a choice, if you want to be a US citizen do it by the rules if you do it illegally you will be sent back until you do it right. I don’t know but I was always told I was too kindhearted, lol! And this KKK video, it was so disturbing to me again noting but violence. How does violence by anyone make something right? And immigrants can be of any nationality and if some of the first immigrants were white and they were mistreated when they came here why would you turn around and start a group of people to mistreat everyone else for not be like you. But they are not all cracked up to be what they think they are meaning, and this is a true story
I have to say the subject of immigration is one that I don’t get anyway. It is an issue but what I don’t understand is why the immigrants illegal or not are treated so poorly. I mean if they are caught here illegally they are jailed and mistreated until they are deported, why? If they are caught here illegally explain to them there is a process to being here and take them back to the border and that be that, why mistreat them first. How bad does that make our country look when they are already thinking they can have a chance to make it by coming here. I mean aren’t we all still human beings created by GOD. And the immigrants that are here legally they followed the rules to be here but why are they still liked down upon as if they did something wrong.
The point you made of Dr. Richards making a good point of people are people in this issue is the truth. When I read your comment I remembered a friend of mine had to go to a DUI training program and on the last class you brought a guest and you went on a tour of the county jail. When we got into the jail and we went around the corner there was the gym area, inside the gym the size of a basketball court was hundreds of bunk bed and hundreds of illegal immigrants I couldn’t believe my eyes! Hundreds of men stuffed in a gym surrounded my glass walls, they were dressed in a whole different jail outfit from the regular inmates, they couldn’t speak English and they all ran to the glass when they seen us yelling in their language as to say “get us out of here!” And needless to say the gym area had been taking away from all the inmates to house the immigrants there. Now I went home with the thought in my mind “immigrant or not and inmate or not aren’t we all people, human beings?” Rather it be jail or not shouldn’t we all be treated fairly.
