TERMINATED BECAUSE OF FAILING TO PASS THE STATE EXAM FOR LICENSED AGENT

HELLO. MY NAME IS LINDA LAZARD. I LIVE IN SAN LEON, TX FALLS UNDER THE NAME DICKINSON, TX.

I WAS HIRED BACK IN MAY OF 07 AS AN INSURANCE COUNSELOR. I WAS HIRED BY GARDEN STATE LIFE INSURANCE PARENT COMPANY ANICO. WHEN I WAS HIRED IT WAS TOLD TO ME THAT I COULD HAVE AS MANY TRIES AT THE EXAM UNTIL I PASS IT. OKAY, I HAD THREE TRIES. THE 3RD TIME I WAS 8 AWAY FROM PASSING IT. IF I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ANOTHER TRY I KNOW I COULD HAVE PASSED IT. SINCE THEN I HAVE GONE THROUGH SO MUCH PAIN AND SUFFERING. I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH TO THE DR'S. FOR DEPRESSION ETC. ALSO KIDNEY STONES. I AM CONSTANTLY SEEKING WORK, BUT NO ONE CALLS ME FOR AN INTERVIEW. I COMPLETED COLLEGE IN 05 GOT MY ASSOCIATED DEGREE IN BUS MEDICAL/BILLING AND CODING AND TRANSCRIPTION. NO ONE WANTS TO ACCEPT AN ENTRY LEVER PERSON.

THEY WERE GOING AS FAR AS PRESSURING ME SENDING ME THREATING E-MAILS STATING THAT MY JOB WAS IN JEOPARDY. I AM TRYING TO APPLY FOR MY UNEMPLOYMENT BUT NOTHING IS GETTING DONE. I HAVE FILED WITH THE EEO, BUT THEY STATED THAT YOU KNOW THAT THEY ARE GOING TO CHANGE THEIR STORY. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO. I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO HIRE A LAWYER.

THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT HAVE FAILED THE TEST 4 AND 5 TIMES. BUT ALL UP IN A SUDDEN THEY STATED THAT THE RULES HAS CHANGED. THEY WAS GOING AS FAR AS WANTING TO WRITE ME UP THE SECOND TIME THAT I FAILED THE TEST.

ONE GIRL THAT STARTED BEFORE ME WAS NOT GETTING PRESSURED. SHE SCORED IN THE 20'S AND DIDN'T COMPLETE THE TEST AND GUESS WHAT, NOONE SAID NOTHING. SHE EVEN TOOK HER VACATION.

THEY FIRED ME THE MONTH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO TAKE MY VACATION. WHEN I TAKEN MY TEST THE VERY LAST TIME, I WALKED IN THERE TO MY MANAGER AND SHOW HIM MY RESULTS AND ASKED HIM IF I STILL HAD MY JOB, AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID? HE SAID DEFINITELY. COME FRIDAY OF THAT SAME WEEK THEY CALLED ME INTO THE OFFICE AND TERMINATED ME. AS FAR AS I KNOW THE OTHER GIRL HAS NOT PASSED THE TEST AS OF YET, BUT SHE HAS HER JOB.

 I HATE TO COMPLAIN BUT THAT HUNTS ME STILL AS OF TODAY. MY KIDS CHRISTMAS WAS HORRIBLE. THEY HAD TO GET THEIR GIFTS 2 DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS AND THAT PISSED ME OFF.

THE REASON WHAY I AM WRITING THIS IS BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THIS IS SO WRONG. WHAT CAN I DO?

I SEARCH ALL OF 2006 FOR A JOB. UNTIL THIS ONE CAME ALONG IN MAY OF 07, AND I ACCEPTED IT BECAUSE I WAS TIRED OF SEARCHING FOR WORK. I WAS DOING SO WELL, WOULD GET COMPLIMENTS ALL THE TIME ABOUT HOW WELL I CAUGHT ON TO THE POSITION THAT I HELD. HOW COULD SOMEONE UP AND FIRE YOU FOR FAILING A TEST WHEN YOU SCORED HIGHER ON THE LAST ONE KNOWING THAT MAYBE THERE WAS A CHANCE THAT I WOULD HAVE PASSED IT THE 4TH TIME.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR LISTENING.
