In Reply To: I have worked at Westat for 9 years and while every moment hasn't been wonderful, I can honestly say that I have enjoyed working at this company. It is a stable company with many growth opportunities. You say you worked as a data collection specialist and since that is but one of many jobs at this company you are unfairly judging Westat since that environment is not necessarily indicative of others area of this very diverse company. Also, you sound like a pretty miserable person and your "fatso" post just made you look stupid. Good luck holding down a "real" job.
Message: You need certain skills to perform in any job. I've been in the mid-level in the corporate world making $40,000-60,000 a year and now have to accept this $12/hr job and I am not the least bit ashamed. I was not fired from my job in corporate and don't take jobs to please others as you may.
