Would you hire a convicted felon to work for you?

Depends on the crime.

What's her OT rating and what was she convicted of?

Yes. It would be hypocritical of me not to.

I hire them all the time to work my factory. Most burn out and get back on drugs, but we've gotten some great workers that have gotten their lives back together.

Depends on what I'm hiring them for. Manual labor? Sure but drug tests if needed. Watching my books? Hell no.

For every seven you hire and you end up having to fire, you get one who has or is getting their shite together and will work their arse off and be one of the best damn employees you’ll ever have. It’s really a roll of the dice.

Yes, but it would depend on the situation.

One of the best people I know is a convicted felon.

Convicted of murder (2nd degree, I think). Made some bad decisions and was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people when he was about 18 or 19. He didn't kill anybody, but was an accomplice by fact of his being with the group that did.

Spent about 12 years in prison, I think. He's been out for about 10 years or so.

Paid his debt, grew up, and is certainly not the stupid and naive person he was, then.

I trust him with just about anything, really. You'd never ever know his past unless he told you and if he told you, you'd have an insanely hard time believing it.


Long answer to say that it depends on the person and the crime and the circumstances.

I am a convicted felon. I did my time and when released I was welcomed back to my old job. I fricked up once and have live a clean life ever since. That’s 36 years ago. I’ve been married to the same woman who stood by me then and to this day. I can’t say every felon can be trusted by I’m living proof that it’s possible.
