Monster Terminated For Cause By Government
AndrewKoch.com flags this story with bad news for Monster:
About 232,000 people filed applications for jobs at three sections of the Department of Homeland Security that ended up in a kind of online twilight zone, prompting government officials to issue an unusual termination notice to Monster Government Solutions, an affiliate of the Web-based employment service Monster.com....However, in the formal "termination for cause" notification, Elizabeth C. Heitz, a contracting officer for Customs and Border Protection, said Monster had failed to correct problems: "The system failed repeatedly. Specifically, employees accessing the system were involuntarily exited from the system or were unable to access the system at all. . . . During the failures, the system 'froze' and then displayed an error message."
I don't think this will do much to quiet the sniping around Monster's recurrent acquisition sprees.
