madcan asked: I committed a bank robbery in 1999 and served 31 months. The mgr where I now work, after hiring me with knowledge of my record, harassed me for *** from the first day until he was fired.
( I’m also male ) After 2 yrs, the new mgr knows I would have a hard time finding employment, therefore works the snot out of me and for PEANUTS. I have put in many applications and realize it’s hard to answer this question about my record without sweating. I feel compelled to be honest because to lose a job for dishonesty or for any other reason would be a major set back. While in prison, I earned a degree and I’m paying back the money. The amazing thing is, I see people without records doing crazy stuff because they know no one is watching them, not realizing how close they are to ruining their life. So? What could I say to an interviewer inquiring about my background?
……………..just to respond further to my question/your answers. I did file a sexual harassement suit, which may be dropped because I represented myself and did a really poor job. Further, I never lived a life of crime, just one moment of really bad judgement. I’ve worked all my life. And. And. The amount of money in a cash register is not worth going to jail for. I’m not desperate and for what I’m seen on my job, I’m more honest than a lot of my co-workers. So while I’m being watched…………………….?
Thanks yahoo people, this is a very serious matter to me and I appreciate all your answers.
