RE: MAINTENANCE MANAGER position
I was planning to apply on INDEED, but got caught up in an emergency project before I could execute. Please accept my application posted on the website today 10/28/2019.
I am uniquely qualified for this job.
Please acknowledge one way or another.
Thank you
I am employed at the Winston Salem plant.Over the last 4-5 yrs my son,daughter and brother have applied numerous times and each time they get this bogus email stating that they cannot be hired because Oi can’t fully use there skills at this time.I work there so I have seen most of the people that were brought in as new hires.One in particular worked at subway as a sandwich maker and she was 18 at the time she no longer works there as she cussed the plant manager and told him she had better options.Another one had 2 30 day and 1 15 day trial periods and then got fired after HR caught her numerous times on her phone.There are many more examples I can give but I don’t have much room to type it.My question is why after all of their atempts to get hired at least 1of them is not working there.
It is very hard to get in touch with the benefit line I have the phone number . when I call the robot suggest you send a email to for faster service.need the email address.
Dear Sir:

Thanks
