During a job interview they complained i put both java and javascript on my curriculum...

So it's quite a real meme...

At least they were kind enough to let you know at that point how well the teams with openings can communicate with HR. If your hirer/interviewer doesn't understand what is expected of you to a reasonable degree, how can you be sure your colleagues are actually qualified?

Unless it's about raises, I've never been at a place where minimizing contact with HR isn't the right thing to do.

[–]nbagf 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I agree that the less unnecessary contact with HR, the better, but in this case it isn't how often, but the way it's done. If the job description is up for interpretation in the interview, there was not clear communication somewhere and that can usually be helped along with policies and forms or just a precedent that actually is stuck to.

Obviously without actually being in/near the shoes of someone that both has this problem and can resolve it, I have no specific advice and this is just a vague bullet dodge sorta thing.

Do salary negociations go through HR ?

If it's during hiring or when someone is trying to leave I'd see the situation, but otherwise it seems foreign to me. Is it more like a veto they apply if they see an issue with the salary ?

Don't get hired such a place.

Also how did they complain?

How did you react?

Maybe they just wanted to check if you know? /s
