First of all, if you think I am putting you down you are either an idiot or just want to try to be cool. Reread my message. Either is fine with me though.

My question was for the HLE manager and it is a simple one. When HLE hires people, do they let the person know they are hiring into a non-promotable job? I don't think there is anything wrong with hiring ticket writers, as long as the people know they are ticket writers and management will be hired from outside the company.

As for you though, it seems as if you were a hair away from their management trainee program. How does it make you feel to know that you were almost in a position where you could help to build an office and make it profitable, then have your manager hired fresh out of college? Would that have been acceptable?

I think Enterprise's promotional system has a lot going for it, while at the same time it opens them up to a lot of difficulties. Just trying to see what HLE does differently and whether it works, or leaves employees in dead end jobs who end up being even more bitter than the crowd on this website.
