I have been smoking, so I'll probably use my 'lotsa water method' to pass but my credit is probably too poor for them.
Anyone know what the fuck is up with companies checking on your credit rating like it's any of their business? This is a fairly new thing and I for one think it is totally fucked. Just because you have credit problems doesn't mean you are a poor worker. Poor money manager yes, poor worker no. And what of those whose credit has been damaged by ID theft or catastrophic illness. I really hate HR people.
