Title: anybody here remember gavin?
Post by: trent bortknob on February 15, 2012 07:09 AM
well, even if you don't, here's some funny stuff

so gavin does some rapping stuff under the pseudonym "g rex". he also used to work at wendy's, until he decided to go to frostburg.

apparently, wendy's was not worth leaving on good terms with, so he decided to film a music video there.

G REX - Rest in Peace Sean Paul OFFICIAL RARE music video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-EGslox_YM#)

then this happened

i always thought impulsive recklessness like this for the sake of being able to say you did it was pretty cool. i'm sure it's a bad move to piss off a former employer and i'm not sure how a ban from a restaurant affects future employment as well, i'm not sure if it shows up on any records that would matter. fun stuff though

Y'know that one part of the application where it asks if it's okay to contact former employers and to list past work experiences?
Seeing as I don't know the aftermath of the video, this may go into the background checking part of the application too...

because if your current or future employers contact them or it's brought up somehow you get your ass kicked

going out with a bang might be 'funny' or 'cool', but it sure isn't smart

it's not just mcdonalds you know

it could apply to any job that involves providing a service for others, not just fast food chains

if you're incapable of controlling yourself and do dumb shit to make employers look bad, you can generally kiss your dream job goodbye unless you start your own business

Wait, in America you have to tell about your past jobs? Because here you can just not put them on your resume and they will never find out.
Title: Re: anybody here remember gavin?
Post by: rtil on February 17, 2012 02:17 AM
you don't have to tell them, it's called a background check and any employer can do it without you knowing
Title: Re: anybody here remember gavin?
Post by: trent bortknob on February 17, 2012 03:32 AM
honestly, most companies that pay below like $12 an hour don't even do background checks simply because it doesn't matter. i don't think he'd even be barred from other fast food companies.

i had a friend who got fired for actually legitimately stealing from the company. he took thousands of dollars over the course of his 2 years or so working there.

when he got fired, he had a brand new job within a few weeks.

and i bet you that when he starts going up to higher jobs, he won't put down that he worked at a wendy's or something as a kid, he'll just put down his current credentials. and when they do a background check and see that he got fired from a fast food job 5 years ago, they will probably glance right over it. that's because minimum wage jobs don't matter, they're not super hard to get and you can lose your job for very stupid reasons (sometimes beyond your control).

it would be different if he was on salary and was making good money and did something like this. but i honestly don't think this will even be relevant to his life in a few months
Title: Re: anybody here remember gavin?
Post by: naturally on February 17, 2012 03:42 AM

Title: Re: anybody here remember gavin?
Post by: rtil on February 17, 2012 04:20 AM
getting fired and then banned from the premises of the place you once worked is a big deal, even if it's a fast food chain. employers aren't going to overlook something like that just because it was a minimum wage job, he obviously did something wrong. if i was an employer, i would never hire someone who was banned from entering the place he was fired for working at, and i'm sure most employers would agree with me.

unless he plans on working dead end jobs the rest of his life it was a stupid move that he gained absolutely nothing from besides approval from equally meaningless people.

we'll see how it pans out. maybe i'm just so bitter towards retail/fast food companies and the customers that visit them that it's hard for me to see this video and think anything other than "this is so great". this is the kind of stuff you talk about with your fellow co-workers when you start talking about your "last day". of course, no one ever does the stuff that is imagined in those types of conversations (and that's probably good), but it's still fun to watch from afar when someone actually does do something crazy like what gavin did.

I'm pretty sure that is illegal here, you have to consent to background checks even if it is hidden in the fine print of a document. I find America really weird when it comes to employment, like every job has to do drug testing no matter what line of work. Here they only drug test people operating machinery or athletes.

Gavin's response to Wendy's

I'm So Fresh You Can Suck My Nuts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06GGDH_ugh8#ws)

I'm also in agreement with Sinitron. I also agree with Trent, a lot of companies to don't do background checks for small jobs in the past, I worked at a movie theater and there was no background check there, all I had to do was piss in a cup and boom, I popped corn and gave grease to the masses and watched as they inhaled their food.

Considering all the effort Gaven put into his video, the amount of views from his video is kind of a joke. Some other video uploaded from that channel has 217 views and yet it had a ton of effort put into it.
