"We opened a position in response to feedback from the person whose former role you're interviewing for."
"You increased staffing?"
"No. We created an opening in response to their feedback."
He fed us a suggestion, then we kicked his back.
We politely asked him not to leave an ass print on the door on his way out, because we're a family here.
"We fixed the glitch"
They promoted that former person to customer.
"Employees were complaining about low morale. So we threw them a mandatory after work pizza party for team building! It was a real hit, almost everyone showed up!"
"It wasn't even paid. They just really wanted ~~their job~~pizza."
What's studdering? Something to do with breeding animals, I assume?
I think they mean if they put on an eye piece and start repairing a watch in front of you. Happened to me so many times.
Ahhh - thanks for the excellent explanation, my fellow simian!
Ape alone... weak. Apes together... talk shit on internet
Amen, brother!
Kinda feels weird to say considering I'm atheist...
Seeing this picture just made me more grateful for the job I have. Things might suck sometimes, but at least I'm not hunched over a table using tweezers to hand-thread watch studs.
More power to those who can do it, there's probably a calm satisfaction to be gained. But man, it looks tedious.
Its when a group of students are studying particularly hard
If i wanted to be jobless, sure. lol
Thank you.
People who post shit like this seem to think the streets are littered with such a rich variety of job offers that we can pick out the best ones like we’re shopping for avocados, completely oblivious to the fact that the vast, vast majority of us need a job right fucking now to survive, and are going to happily snag the first offer we get no matter what evil fuck it’s for.
Remember post COVID how people were quiet quitting and CEO's were talking about how workers had too much power?
I remember.
That's why they're so desperate to make AI happen
I've been there, too. I ignored warning signs because I was desperate, and then wished I hadn't later. Saying that you will accept any job that comes your way is a good route to getting fucked over.
You might think that you need the money, but it really isn't worth it when you lose your job a week later and your temp agency won't answer your calls anymore. There are some crazy, toxic workplaces out there.
You're right. Better to lick the boot. Don't even think about saying anything that might even be slightly uncomfortable, just accept what they let you have and be happy, right? Fuckin scab
If nobody ever questioned anything, nothing would ever change. Be the change you want to see, and stop shitting on people for actually standing up for something.
It behooves you to ask the interviewer some questions, too. It helps to give you an idea about whether or not you want to work there.
There were definitely times when I had a bad interview, I still got the job, and I wished that I hadn't. Don't ignore warning signs because you're desperate! Sometimes it's better to have no job at all.
For the people that can't afford not to take the crappy job, sometimes it's best to just take it but keep looking for something better. Not everybody has money in the bank to be picky about employment.
Don't be so sure. Honestly, even if this question would have made me feel uncomfortable in the moment, I can tell you that it would elevate my opinion of any candidate I was interviewing because it's actually a very thoughtful but also important thing to consider. I actually can't recall at the moment anybody ever asking something like this in any interview I've done -- normally it's the basic stuff like "do you like working here" or "can you walk me through your typical day" kind of questions.
Your average hiring manager for IC level employees will have no insight into that.
Add I the end of the question, "that had a positive impact on you" they're an employee too afterall
"We are actually a 3rd party responsible for finding and hiring candidates for our clients. We largely operate independently from the company."
That too is an insight into the company.
I think we put in speed bumps a few years ago due to an employee complaint about speeding. I hate whoever suggested that. Not because people weren't speeding/ riding tails, but now half the people drive 10 MPH going over 20 MPH speed bumps.
In reality we've had a lot of good things due to suggestions over the years.
Speed bumps now are designed to make SUVs do 20. I don't have an SUV, I can't do 20 over them!
"studdering"?? I wish I could afford that
Cue the LinkedIn lunatic ranting that employment candidates asking critical questions of hiring organizations are a cancer on all industries.
If they don't answer with the STAR method I am walking
does the bathroom have a good fart fan
This would a funny question at my work.
You want a change? Scope it and present at the sprint planning. If it makes sense it gets built.
Happens multiple times every 2-3 weeks.
But that's a code change, that's like saying "we changed the products from being in the back to being on the shelves".
Do you also change your process? Do you divide the work differently? Did you hire a new person to take care of those tasks that are never prioritized and then suddenly become emergency fixes?
Oh yes, this is delicious! I'm making a note now.
What does ‘studdering’ mean, could you inform me by any chance?
Everyone's making jokes but if you're serious they meant "stuttering".
Edit: per vocabulary.com
If you've ever heard a young child stammer and trip over his words, you know what it means to stutter.
Use the verb stutter when someone gets stuck on certain word sounds, either because she's speaking too quickly or eagerly, or because she has an actual speech disorder, also called a stutter. The word itself is somewhat onomatopoeic — a word that sounds like what it means — with its repeated t sounds. Stutter is thought to be related to the Middle Low German word stoten, "to knock or strike against," which is the way a stutterer's words sometimes sound.
It's when a person can't spelt very good.
Now I don't want to fix the title.
It's what happens after farding and shidding.
What's a studder?
It will ensure you don’t get hired is all it will do.
I would ask if they would rather an employee who is skilled and will do fair work for fair pay or if they want someone who will say anything to get paid.
If you don't need the money right now, you can dodge bullets.
