"It's not on the list"

by Brian
(Florida)

Recently when applying for a job, I was asked for the IDs for the i9 form (proof of right to work in the U.S.). I showed him him the #1 item on "list a" (passport). He told me "It's not on the list." I showed him on his own paperwork it was. He still told me "It's not on the list."


So I showed him the #1 item on "list b" (driver's license). He told me "It's not on the list." I showed him on his own paperwork it was. He still told me "It's not on the list." So I showed him the #1 item on "list c" (social security card). He told me "It's not on the list." I showed him on his own paperwork it was. He still told me "It's not on the list." So I walked out on him.

Crazy...
by: Kathi

Wow, Brian, that's crazy. Do you think he was just trying to stonewall you because he didn't want to hire you? My experience is that you don't even ask for the I-9 info until the person is actually hired. I just don't get this whole thing... weird.
