Briston Smith, a recent job applicant, faced disappointment after being turned down at a job interview with Chase Supermarket.
However, the story took an unexpected turn when the supermarket’s management reached out to him with an apology. They expressed regret over the decision and offered him a position within the company.
Briston Smith was offered an apology and a job, which he turned down
Despite the offer, Briston chose to decline the new opportunity. In an interview with Antigua.news, he shared his thoughts on the entire experience and the reasoning behind his decision.
Smith reflected on the importance of feeling valued and respected in the hiring process, indicating that his initial rejection had left a significant impact on him.
I guess it was not kept quiet as they expected. So now they want to offer him a position! That’s rich! Scared of a protest. Let’s see what happens if you shop else where.
Something to seriously think about!
What kind of laws does Antigua have with handicap on the island ?? That person needs to be fired !!
The owner was the one who instructed the young lady to cancel the interview because of the young man’s disability.
I would actually decline the offer after such a reject. These people aren’t normal. Don’t worry you will find something better
I wouldn’t Want to work there cause what I had went through honestly don’t feel good about it
If I wasn’t targeted like an if the interview had happened I’d would have try, but after going through such a overwhelming hurt, I don’t have the energy to put foot in that place to even try, cause what is the sense u all hurt me now asking me to come back that’s like pushing candy in a baby mouth am tell him hush an am not for that. It’s not right. So that how I feel about that.
Takes a news post for you to offer this man a job? Judging someone off of their disability is wrong.
Thanks for understanding 🙏
Under the DISABILITIES AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES ACT, 2017 I believe there are provisions that prohibit discrimination against disabled people during recruitment. Additionally, there are provisions under the constitution. I would strongly advise that you contact an attorney for legal advice.
So nuh sorry would have been there if he didn’t light them up? Continue the protest people!! They are royally full of it!!
It should be tht they have to compensate him for at least 3 months of payment..but I guess there’s nothing on the books tht tht kind of disrespect and humiliation…
Still not shopping at Chase…
I agree with him, You don’t need to work for such people
If u all know this guy nobody going to want to give him a job he has no manners he steals don’t let his two little hands fool u all go round his neighbour hood and ask his nieghbors what he doing to farmers close to where he lives
@Silent, what does that have to do with how he was treated? SMH
Thanks for understanding
It doesnt matter who he is. Or whay he did. That supermarket handled the situation badly. At least the supermarket apologized. Let’s move on
My mom raised me the right way I never been in trouble for anything I don’t understand why people try bring down ppl in some many negative ways God alone knows lol
I know this person that is telling lies on me, this person see me an my mom get a Land an build a house they use to be nice to use an offer us provision an my mom will buy from them. Ever since i bought my own car the lady always interfere with me, she told me once she was going to obya me cause she from Dominica. So hence be careful how you want spread lies because of jealously. Need to look to God yall fight down young ppl in so much ways an ppl don’t know yall from nowhere. May God be with you.
Now we can put this matter to rest. This man was hurt. Who he is doesnt matter.
So are there no laws on the books pertaining to discriminating against the disabled? If not there needs to be. No one should be treated this way.
I will still refrain from shopping there! Damn forward!
I sorry I ever went there in the first place all this wouldn’t happen, me being treated wrongful an ppl don’t want go, I believe things happen for a reason
I know for a fact better is out there somewhere in the world an I know there’s somewhere for ppl like me to speak up about there difficult situations in life I know there’s better out there
This isn’t just about a job; it’s about how people are treated. Briston Smith has shown that some things are more important than just an offer. Hopefully, this opens doors for him elsewhere.
