I failed a physical in April, had surgery, and was hired the minute I was cleared by the doctor by a BAYOU company. I also had two other offers from non-GOM companies I turned down while recuperating because the personnel guy gave me his word. Call me naive but I still go by a man’s word. The day a man’s word does not work where I work, I am out of there.
Same goes if I violate my word and now I am in a better situation than where I was. Go figure…
