Very disturbing email
- Thread starter donnie_baseball
- Start date
I hope and pray this is somehow not true or accurate. If it is, what a horrendous reflection on the people involved and on the University we love. Prayers for XXXXXX.

Was this guy actually employed by Seton Hall, or was he only working as a consultant through a 3rd party vendor? I know most of the names in the ticket office and that one doesn't ring a bell.
Not sure why he decided to air that story to you either? I guess you have a soft shoulder to cry on. I don't know what to make of it, other than SHU has been nothing but gracious to me, but then again I am a paying customer.

There was a sales consultant named XXXXXX and he started work at SH on September 15. Whether he was the person responsible for the E-Mail to Donnie who knows for sure. Personally I would turn the e- mail over to SH before they get blindsided by it .

Who else could it be? The dude put his name on the end of the letter. I doubt there are many XXXXXX who worked for the Hall. My guess is someone at the school saw this already (Hello SHU staffer).
If the guy was working for the school since September as you say, and they let him go now, isn't it likely they just wanted some bodies for the renewal period and to try and get guys like Donnie who had cancelled back into the mix??
Why would the school need to continue paying consultants to sell tickets when the season is pretty much underway. I'm 86'ing this guys complaint for now that Seton Hall maliciously got rid of him.

Ridiculous bullshit.
We use contingent workers and consultants all the time. You know why? When you don't need them, you terminate them. No questions asked, no cause necessary. Sounds like a bit of bitterness from someone who I would not consider for employment based on something so unprofessional.

Oh, and he wasn't working for the school as people keep saying. He was working for the XXXXXXX.. Did they terminate him? Did SHU terminate the contract with Aspire?
But the best explanation is that there is no longer the need, hence the contract worker. If there was a steady role there, perhaps he would have been hired as an employee.

Wow, is your post suggesting the Missouri protests were in the wrong? Also, is your post equating the incidents that took place at Missouri with the complaints of this one person...by likening it to Esteban hypothetically having to step down?
I don't know the whole picture about the situation Donnie brought to our attention. None of us here do. But I've read plenty about what went on at Missouri. And that President was a disgrace. I think it's grossly irresponsible to draw a casual connection between these two matters.

I think his point was this person is blaming people at SHU when he was actually employed by another company.
Not less of a person, but less of an employee. Hell I was a consultant in banking for a bit, you need to get used to the lifestyle.
Not less of an employee... NOT an employee.
It's a convenient way of not having to lay people off. Yes, the are people and treated as such. But they are not employees and do not have the same rights and protection of being one, even though that protection only goes so far.
Another ridiculous statement to equate that someone says it means being less of a person. For what it's worth, you pay a contractor a premium. It's his choice to be a consultant and not seek full time employment, and while that can get you a few more bucks per hour, it is not stable work.
EVERYTHING ABOUT THE MIZZOU PROTEST IS STUPID AND WORTHLESS. People lost their jobs over nonsense.
I feel bad for anyone who is sick. That said, a consultant is hired for the very reason that they can be terminated at any point for any reason. I think that he needs to bone up on employment law.
From what I've seen so far, it's been mostly unsubstantiated or made up stuff than any systematic prejudice. And the behavior of the protestors and teachers have raised an eyebrow. Could the President have done more and sooner? I'm not sticking up for him by any stretch. I'm just not seeing anything yet that looks like the institutional racism that's being alleged.
all caps indeed....are you going to start a protest over the caps lock key now?
A contracted ticket sales guy was let go, and he wrote an email suggesting that our athletic dept did so on the grounds that he had some level of disability following treatment for a brain tumor, in the remote past. I had no personal relationship with him, and I suspect that I was not the only one to receive this correspondence.
