Current Events > 19 y/o Black Girl was DENIED a JOB for her OFFENSIVE Message! You be the JUDGE!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

19 y/o Zanaya Jones says the manager REJECTED her for a job at a Grocery Store because of her so called INAPPROPRIATE voicemail message and viewers were having none of it!!

She took to tiktok to play the message that was recorded of her playful message but a manager at Harris Teeter Grocery Store in South Carolina called her up after reviewing her application and was put off by that tone

She played the manager's response which got more than 22 million views.

Commentators were horrified and said this was a major red flag stating it would have been a hostile work environment anyways with a pushover like that and said she dodged a bullet

Speaking to Buzzfeed, she agreed that she was better off stating it wasn't vulgar nor was it professional but it wasn't bad. Plus it was a grocery store job. It wasn't like she was trying to apply to MICROSOFT.

She will now just apply for a job IN PERSON and make sure to pick up the phone before another employer hears her message...or she'll change if it's really that offensive.

What do you think? was it offensive?

Probably better for her to not work for that manager tbqh

It is a little unprofessional, but not to the point that a guy at Harris Teeter needs to get his dick in a twist over it.

What was offensive about this?

I dont get how that was offensive. Unprofessional yes, but offensive?

She sounds sweet and happy, like the way employers want you to act. Fuck that guy.

What do you think? was it offensive?

For a 19 year old apply for work at a grocery store? Hell, no! Might be a reason to pass over a candidate if there's competition. But this is almost a class thing, that kinda bothers me.

You hire a little bit more white collar then I would say that yes, give a hard pass. Something entry level? You have to train people to be what you want them to be.

Who the fuck cares about it being professional lol, its her personal phone. Its not offensive either. Are grocery store customers going to be calling her cell phone?

This part made me lol

She dodged a bullet. That's not somewhere you want to work for.

I bet if the girl sounded differently (even if she said the same thing) she would have been hired.

I would've hung up after hearing the first what's up.

Fucking Teeter grocery store. They specialize in milk and dairy products?

I'm back with another what?

Nah, it's just two stores, one owned by Harris and one by Teeter, that merged into one like a hundred years ago.

Literally nothing wrong with her message, which is entirely irrelevant to her ability to ring up groceries or stock shelves anyway. What a dumbass of a "manager."

Pretty fair, worked out for everyone

Yeah, this is dumb. It's her personal voicemail, who care if it's not professional. Thats' like going "Your personal e-mail address is not 'firstname.lastname@yahoo' so we will not be hiring you."

Imagine wanting to have a 19 year old to have a "Hello sir/ma'am, thank you for reaching out to me but I'm not available" kind of shit lol. She's still in school.

Managers are the worst.

Fuck him for being a wiener and fuck her for making a mountain out of a molehill
