The Fruit Cake Co-Worker. Punt the Fruit Cake Away!
While your co-workers are home for the holiday eating until they get type 2 diabetes, you’re working overtime. Why? Because your pass-the-buck- slacker-holiday-sweater-wearing co-workers put in their PTO like totally last year. Now you’re stuck in cold dark office answering a hundred calls.
Plus, since you totally forgot to ask for the PTO in advanced, you’re stuck with all the job reqs.
Look, Taser me bro! But, don’t load me up with closing out the year-end job reqs! Or make me deal with all the miserable loaded unemployed job seekers that can’t afford Christmas this year.
This is what I call Fruit Cake Recruiting.
We all know that Fruit Cake started in Genesis when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. Satan gave us the first Fruit cake and we’ve been circulating it ever since.
Plus, it is completely acceptable to re-gift Fruit cake. That is why it’s so common to find it in break rooms.
Fruit Cake Recruiting is an amalgamation of all the company job openings along with those that applied on-line.
The problem is you’re stuck with the Fruit Cake!
Time to punt that nasty thing back to your fat-ass co-workers.
First, blast out an email to your Recruiting team and let them know you have to many candidates that applied recently. And, too many to effectively conduct screens. Then send an email to all the candidates with your co-workers contact info and the date they will return to the office.
Done!
Congratulations, you have made your first Recruiting Fruit Cake.
