so that person is both wasting people's time, and possibly making their current team feel unnerved and replacable. galaxy brain move truly

[-] [email protected] 29 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Meh, they're just hiding the obvious - if they found a good candidate they'd hire them. It's a gentle rejection.

This appears to go over our linkedin mastermind over there though, and proceeds to write a self-help book about it...

If they straight up admitted they wasted my time, I'd steal a printer or something on the way out.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago

With how printers are nowadays, that printer would probably try to get a GPS lock, or failing that, scan all devices nearby to try to determine its whereabouts, then capture your ID, face and any sensitive information it could, and start extorting your for more yellow ink...

Yellow ink used to draw those sweet invisible fingerprints on every printed page so you can be tracked easily

Maybe HR should have an exit interview with Raj to let him know he's fired for wasting everyone's time and company money with moral-busting-anxiety-inducing fake interviews.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago

I don't understand how exit interviews are a thing. Ehy would anyone go to one? I'm leaving the company, I don't owe you shit. Hell, I stopped putting in 2 week notices 20 years ago. These corporations don't care about me so I don't owe them shit.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago

Are you kidding, I love going to exit interviews. Its where you can say, in great detail and without reprisal, exactly why the company sucks.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

I've had exit interviews, and I've had jobs where I wish there was an exit interview. It's possible to give feedback without burning bridges, and I don't think I've ever left a job on bad terms.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

sometimes you leave on good terms. Might give them some things to improve (although I'd say that should happen continuuously, ideally. not just at the end)

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Exit interviews are a signature quest. They need you to sign some NDA so you can't bitch about the reeeeally sketchy stuff your boss did.

If they pulled a guy out of a meeting - his meeting - to fire him, those cruel fucks deserve nothing from me but a glance in my rearview.

My last resignation was via a note added to my file on the way out. I left another job with Friday plane tickets and a go-bag and was starting work on Monday in a new time-zone.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

See my favourite is when they do the exit interview and then after try and make you sign an NDA.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I have a policy to never sign anything that isn't contingent to me getting a job. Since I'm leaving, I ain't signing shit.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

A chance to vent about your boss in hopes they get demoted?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Come on man, that's petty as fuck.

And again, I'm leaving so my ex boss is not my problem anymore.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Yeah, it is great! And since I have empathy I understand my ex-boss will be someone else's problem.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

If you had empathy, you wouldn't try to get your boss fired. Even shitty people deserve an income. Just something we have to put up with as a society until we get UBI.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Oh, look the subject of this community. Honesty is not something to hold back over some misguided sense of empathy.

[-] [email protected] 73 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

if you can't be aware of your team's worth without wasting everyone else's time, then you're a pretty pathetic "leader"

i thought sikhs were supposed to be not-dickheads?

[-] [email protected] 37 points 3 days ago

All religions ask you to not be dickheads, not just sikhs

[-] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

Most religions "ask" you to not be a dick head, while constantly psychologically encouraging you to be a turbo dick head, even promoting you if you're a big enough dick.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Isn't that just people tho?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

That's what the dicks tell each other

And all religions miraculously still have high numbers of dickheads. Some more than average.

Get back to the office so I can bask in your worth.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

i'll shoot my worth all over your face

A load so pathetic it's not worth a maggots face. SHAME!

Manga depicting explicit, male homosexuality.

As is tradition on 4chan, all greentexts stories are fake and gay. Jack is elegantly indicating this, by qualifying OP's post as being a fictional male homoerotic narrative.

[-] [email protected] 61 points 3 days ago

Waste people's time and give them false hope. Great moral

[-] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago

Wasting his own time and the companies too. Should be sacked. I hope he gets nothing but bogus interviews for the rest of his life.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 3 days ago

Do these people even hear themselves talk?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

You kidding?

It's their favorite thing.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 3 days ago

Congrats, Harjeet, on being a piece of shit. Doesn't even matter if it's fake and gay like greentexts, this kind of thought is a cancer

Vice President Human Resources at Reliance

Aaah, that explains it all.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

I can’t wait to retire and fuck off into the sunset. This shit is so tiresome.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 3 days ago

You all don't get it. In the story, the interviewer is the bad guy, he's wasting his time and the time of the interviewee just to understand how valuable his team is.

The lesson to take from it is to be in touch with your team so that you don't need someone else to show you how they are.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Isn't that the entire point of being a people leader? I am, and my job description and yearly goals are all about team performance, not my individual performance.

If you need external validation that your team has value, you have no business being in a management position.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Did everybody just decide to not read the last part?

Be aware of your people's worth so the world doesn't have to remind you.

It's basically 'hey, remember how shitty hiring is? keep that in mind and try to keep people you have.' It's not an example of "this is a good thing to try doing."

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

No its saying what he learnt from doing the actions in a more summarized manner. "The world reminding you" is not the actions taken in the story, but rather the conceptual issue you'll be avoiding by following the "advice". It's not a negation

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

This man will not have a car within 6 months, he will have a flaming pile of scrap, or a canvas upon which scratches paint a vile picture.

And also will be receiving an invoice for my time.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

A quick search reveals ol' Harjeet is somehow quite the bigwig in HR circles. He wrote a book entitled 'Employee Retention Mastermind'.

I wonder if this is an excerpt.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

HR not shaking the rep as a cargo cult any time soon
