I have worked for GMS for over 3 years at 2 different facilities and most of what I am seeing is BS. No one is on call, easy to get time off you just need to reciprocate for fellow employees. Most of what I read on here concerning the golf courses is BS!. People have no idea what they're talking about!!!

When I got a call and told that I had an interview I expected a one on once interview with a fellow professional not being tossed in with a group of people that have never worked in the business before and being put through a ridiculous test.

Hey, it's their company and the procedure they've found gets the best employees for them. They have the jobs...and now you don't.

Sounds like it might be awhile before you start working on your 36th year of employment in the golf industry. Might be best for everyone concerned.

Maybe they feel their "little box" is time proven and works. As far as I'm concerned it does.

I doubt it. Florida is one of the 24 states that has passed "right to work" laws. Simply put, right to work laws affirms the right of every Floridian to work for a living without being compelled to belong to a union.

Look around. How many businesses do you see that are unionized?

Why that is just crazy? You should have been hired without having to go through the debasing ordeal of an interview.
