And if the Null case is anything to go by, even if he wants a public defender, he might say something stupid like "Yeah, I can afford an attorney, but it's nothing to do with criminal blackmail and extortion!"

If the case against Null is anything to go by, Greer will be emailing the prosecutor and asking why they're not being a neutral third party.

It's strange to me that Geoff seemed completely flabbergasted when his lawyers came back and told him about Greer's litigation history. ViaTRON is a multi-million dollar revenue company, why aren't they doing even a cursory background check into this stuff before signing up new employees? If anything they should background check even harder when it comes to the disabled, since California has such a massive problem with litigious crippled fraudsters filing nonsense against them.

most businesses that do background checks are essentially only checking for major felonies or misdemeanors involving violence, severe neglect, theft, or major drug offenses. his litigation history would not have been a part of the employment background check even if they did one. it’s essentially two questions: 1) have you ever been convicted of a crime? (so, even if you have pending charges but haven’t been convicted, you can still pass the background check), and 2) if so, what and when? the form then gets sent to the state bureau of investigation. obviously, jobs that require more have more stringent background checks. but a company like viatron would likely just have the most basic one.

He was unhappy with the lawyer his parents paid for, giving him a 1 star review that he repeatedly wanted him to raise objections and that they got in a "verbal altercation" about asking if he could appeal the guilty plea he accepted, so I think him going pro se is a real possibility.

For a second I thought I was in the Rekieta thread and had to double check.

Yeah, but you'd think they'd at least do a cursory Google search of said potential employee. It's amazing companies are hiring folks with extensive, active lolcow threads here on the 'farms.

viatron seems like a very high turnover company with extremely low-skilled entry-level positions, so they are definitely not googling any warm body they hire.

I believe you. I never ran my own company so I have no experience with this. I just imagine that if I did run a fairly small operation, I would spend a couple of minutes searching potential new employees names on civil court databases just to see if I get literally dozens of hits right off the bat. Obviously I wouldn't care if the person only has a couple of civil suits or if some African American employee stole a bike when he was 13, but maybe if "29 results" pops up, a little more time should be spent looking into it a bit further.

It depends on the state, a lot of state police agencies allow you to do a local criminal background check, I know Texas used to only cost $2 per check, but New York State was like $25.

But those checks only show results from that specific state.

So for example if Nevada offered a similar program and you did a search on Greer he would come back with a clear record as his stalking conviction was in Utah.

But it's irrelevant as Nevada doesn't allow criminal background checks without notorized consent of the person in question.

viatron seems to be a company that has high turnover and understands that fact, they basically hire people they know will not be there long. for them, it’s not worth the effort.

His in-Nevada Restraining Orders might show up. Depends on how far back they go.

Those checks don't show restraining orders, only criminal convictions

"Mr. Greer, apparently you ...were once held up by the legs and pushed around like a wetvac for a week straight?"

"That wash a long time ago, dihdihdih..."

"Well it's all here in public record."

 

[Disgruntled Pupper]

The lengths employers go to to run cover on Russtard being a gross, annoying sexually-harassing burden to his female coworkers continues to floor me. He'll literally go stand by women's desks/work areas and just stare at them for hours with past employers doing nothing but tell him to go do his job, and now he's outright trying to proposition them for prostitution. You would think that especially in a post-me too world this type of shit wouldn't be tolerated in the slightest, even by a Rat-Faced Retard, but then you have this Canadian fuck admitting he told his female employees to stop complaining about this gross greasy pervert.

I think he may have genuinely thought Russell was a mental retard. Nothing but the tard guard could've shielded Russ for so long.

Really increases the desire to see viatron get sued by the female employees and the entire clown show turning into a full blown clusterfuck.

Watch Russell then suing the female employees as individuals for discrimination

 

[SargonF00t]

Depending on how these various lawsuits play out, Russell may have an overwhelming case to be allowed to compete for LOLcow of the Year, again.

Letting him have another go would be a reasonable accommodation that anyone who doesn’t hate the disabled should grant.

Watch Russell then suing the female employees as individuals for discrimination

It's literally the SAME THING.
I'm being discriminated!
It is so bizarre how much you hate the disabled.

ViaTRON is a multi-million dollar revenue company, why aren't they doing even a cursory background check into this stuff before signing up new employees?

This is brought up a lot in lolcow threads and the fact of the matter is virtually no company on earth of any size is going to do what is known as a "reputational background" on a low-level peon like Greer. It's too much work. They do a criminal background check, employment verification, drug test, and that's it. Anything more slows onboarding and when you're dealing with a high-turnover job like the one Greer had, that's a major pain point that hurts business. For every one Greer that gets in there's a hundred people who don't have any reputational problems. It's just not worth it.

The only time you see a company dump someone in a low-level position for reputational reasons is when a lynch mob comes for them, and then it's entirely reactive, not proactive.
