RE: Ten questions nobody ever asks a recruiter

["Oja, W. Kelly" <w -dot- kelly -dot- oja -at- verizon -dot- com>]

Jason posted a short descript on Rx and a young lad that replaced him. I
too worked in a manufacturing facility (two actually) before returning
to college in the late '90s. I am in no way condoning what the workers
were doing to Rex's replacement, but I wonder how much of it was related
to "shop talk." I remember new guys always got hazed to some degree when
they started. While the practice may be similar to a pack of wolves
sparring for dominance, it does have its benefits.

I have even seen in in some of the more "professional" jobs that I have
had and currently have. I think the practice goes way beyond replacing a
"favorite", and is more of an attempt to include the newbie in the group
by seeing how they react.
