Make Up Your Mind, People! (updated)

This corporation that has hired Michael is driving me batty! They have him jumping through all these hoops and each one is higher than the last.

They hired him...he was working an entire month before they said, "Oh, yeah. We need you to fill out an application." He did. "Hey, mind if we see your resume?" He gave them a copy. "Nice resume. Boss wants an interview." Okay, took them 2 weeks to set it up...but he finally interviewed and was told he was one of the better workers they've been able to find. Works hard, no complaints, blah, blah, blah.

Then they say they want to take him with them when they leave. Fine, he says...just tell me when to pack. Oh, but wait! They want a physical so they know he's fit to work. So Michael gets a physical. Clean bill of health. "Glad you went through the trouble, but we want to use our own doctor." So off to Anchorage he goes. Another physical, another clean bill of health.

He should be gone by now. They made the job sound urgent. Why is he still home?

Then the phone rings. "We need you to be cleared by a cardiologist before you can work." No explanation, just a phone number for a doctor in Colorado to talk to. It turned out they looked at his medical charts. Remember when he had to go in for a stress test? That threw up a red flag for them. Explaining to them that it was a precautionary measure becuase heart disease runs in his family didn't help.

So now he's hunting down all these papers that say his heart is okay. He'll send it off to them and wait to see what he gets to do next. Maybe some day they'll actually let him earn a pay check.

Update:
Now they want him to go to his doctor for another exam and get a form signed that he can work with no restrictions. The same doctor he went to weeks ago. The SAME doctor they said wasn't good enough. The SAME doctor who gave him a clean bill of health BEFORE their doctor did the same. AAAAaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!
