WHAT REALLY GOT THE MAN UNITED CLUB EDITOR FIRED
"WAS HE BEING RACIST??"
Just 2 days ago, news of how the prominent football fan club's Manchester United editor Paulbienkowski rashly treated a Nigerian applicant for not being able to produce quality content, for screening on time pilfered the internet and caused a lot of reaction both on the part of the fan club and its viewers.
From what was gathered, the writer on being asked to come up with an article of his choice within a time frame of 2 hours asked for more time which understandably could have made him to be perceived as not being a professional in the field by the editor as he was unused to such writing constraints.
It is understandable that the editor felt the applicant was wasting his time,prompting him to react in anger.
But what caught the attention of viewers and I'm sure the applicant as well was the viciousness of the words used in the response of Mr Paulbienkowski.
It goes to say how very limited his knowledge of Nigerians and their numerous achievements are, as well as the depravity of human nature. Its tendencies to believe the worst out of every situation.
The quick response and actions of the fan club after the whole fiasco to terminate the editor's services on grounds of misconduct and verbal harassment goes to show that thankfully not every one is shrouded in the kind of ignorance that influenced Mr Paulbienkowski's response to the applicant.
He has also apologised publicly to the applicant for his actions and its safe to say his public racist speaking ways would be watched from now on.
On the part of the applicant and for future job seekers looking at employment opportunities in top establishments.
It would be advised that in order not to be perceived in the wrong light,adequate preparation and confidence when applying for a job is key.
Thousands apply for these fast paced jobs, only those that can adapt to the stringent,high stress conditions are selected and retained.
Its sad to say though that while this form of harrassment was brought to light and dealt with, numerous others will go unnoticed.
Let's start speaking and acting right today.
