Ticketbastard

 Remember the last time you called in and bought tickets for an event and gave the person on the other end your address and credit card number? You may want to rethink that now after you see what kind of people they hire there. 


Towards the end of August Mark Halburn started customer service training at Ticketmaster in Charleston. Everyone there was horrified that the company hired him. His reputation preceded him. Do these companies not do a background check on prospective employees? HOW does he even get in the door??? I mean, just one call to one of his former employers would reveal the trouble he's caused at those places.
That is the $64,000 question.
Three scenarios:
Either he gives fake references and gets people to lie about them for him, they don't even bother checking, or the former employers are so intimidated by threats that they will say nothing negative about him..


Several trainees quit the training class because of his presence and Halburn had only been there a week. 
He didn't last much longer. He never even made it out of training.
Ticketmaster management was ready with a plan for when they fired him.  He demanded his last check of course, and several members of upper management locked down the call center and met him in the parking lot with his check. He started yelling and showing his ass and they just turned and walked away .

Exactly how to treat him.
He's not entitled to attention from anybody. They met their obligation. They didn't need to stay for anything else. Plus it takes away his power. Deal with him and don't engage him.
He's already starting his threats. Ticketmaster legal is no doubt involved. 
Not sure if they're like wrongful termination threats or I'm gonna shoot up this place threats.
I'm sure their
lawyers are used to dealing with entitled assholes

Either way Halburn gets fired again.
