Job Opportunity: Box Services hiring a full-time Cocoa User Interface Developer, New York City

[Mike]

All the spin in the world will not change facts.

My TWO phone interviews were in Oct. 2006 so that was after you became 
manager. After the second "interview" it became clear to me that your 
company has no interest in hiring a seasoned 16+ year Mac veteran and 
author of 18 successful commercial Mac products. If those qualifications 
are not good enough, then your goal is obviously something other than 
hiring the best.

The fact is, like so many companies today, you run a cheap imported 
labor sweat shop and when your cheap, inexperienced, third-world 
programmers can't do the job, you "interview" people like me to get the 
knowledge you need to give to your people who can't otherwise do the 
work. Your compatriot, Tenzen Wild informed me the two "programmers" the 
candidate would be working with where imported from China with little 
experience.

Any company which conducts exploitative interviews is committing fraud 
and fraud is a criminal act. Criminal and "legitimate" do not go together.

You claim to have hired "4 full-time Mac developers". Will you please 
tell the list their names, nationalities, and how we can contact them? 
Put your money where your mouth is and prove it to us. I am willing to 
wager $1000 that at least 3 of them are imported cheap-labor foreign 
nationals. Do you have the guts to accept a $1000 bet? In fact, I have 
notified DHS, ICE, BCIS and the FBI that you are conducting visa fraud 
because you are pretending to hire Americans, when in fact you are doin 
the opposite. Do you think we are all stupid?

I see that you yourself are from Belgium. One can hardly imagine a more 
America-hating socialist European nation than that.

I don't doubt your work has been on the covers of major fashion 
magazines - it's not surprising given the corrupt nature of the fashion 
industry. Just because you are successful does not mean you are honest.

I would warn all serious American Mac developers to stay as far away 
from Box as possible because they have no intention of hiring you. They 
only want to gain your knowledge for free and give it to their cheap 
imported programmers who are incompetent.

This is the age of exploitative interviews. And Box is the master of that.
