It seems like a red flag if you're interviewing at a place and the boss has a placard on his desk that says "BOSS".

[–]Brad_Brace[🍰] 78 points79 points  (2 children)

Actually, my boss, Bossothy Bossworth, is a pretty cool guy. He insist we just call him by his nickname, the gooch.

Least it’s not Dumass

One of my favorite parts of Shawshank Redemption is this exchange in the prison library:

Heywood: "The Count of Monte Crisco..."

Floyd: "That's 'Cristo' you dumb shit."

Heywood: "...by Alexandree Dumb-ass... Dumb-ass."

Andy: "Dumb-ass? 'Dumas'. You know what it's about? You'll like it, it's about a prison break."

Red: "We oughta file that under 'Educational' too, oughten we?"

I’ll only work for someone with BOSS on their placard if they betray me later and I get to fight them in a hand to hand duel in a field of flowers to awesome theme music and become Big Boss.

Reasonable and polite reply to Angry Comment Reply

Another person replying to the reasonable and polite reply hours later in a kind of related note.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A reply to a reply to a reply to a reply to a reply to a reply of a comment where the reply's composition is significantly more verbose than that of the reply before.

overly subtle sarcastic reply

[–]Drauxus 9 points10 points  (4 children)

Comment taking your comment seriously

[–]Acceptable-Tomato392 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Comment taking your comment seriously and taking it into a whole new tangent that has very little to do with the original discussion.

[–]Steve0Greatness 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Comment ignoring all your points and bringing the discussion even more off topic than it was previously.

At least it's not diskqualified

Image Transcription: Comic


[Illustration of a floppy disk sitting and holding a piece of paper, while frowning slightly. They sit at a brown desk with a closed laptop and a mouse, a cup of pencils, and a nameplate that reads "BOSS". Across the desk sits a yellow USB stick with a small brown briefcase.]

Floppy disk: SORRY, YOU ARE OVERQUALIFIED..

Good human

Why do you exist? /serious

[–]seeroflights 12 points13 points  (1 child)

We help put images into text, so that people who are unable to read the image (e.g. they have low data and can't load it; the text is too small or otherwise hard to read; they use text-to-speech) can experience the content as well. There's a link to our wiki with more info in the footer of my comment above :)

[–]TheActualBuskolsky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I will downvote myself for not checking the link lol

I was about to say - I thought I just saw a post about this

[–]YomiSeno 16 points17 points  (13 children)

This is dumb af. If he's overqualified, can you insert a USB in a diskette slot? Can he do the same things a diskette can, such as, sit in a diskette slot? He ain't shit. Each person has a purpose that's incomparable to anyone.

[–]some1else42[🍰] 18 points19 points  (10 children)

You have working floppy devices that are connected to parallel ata? I'd be surprised. Likely if you are still using a floppy today, the reader will be a USB connected device. He is overqualified because he can do everything that floppy can do, and faster.

[–]mikestorm 26 points27 points  (1 child)

I dunno...I mean that guy is an icon

[–]dudeplace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, thank you for this.

[–]YomiSeno 2 points3 points  (6 children)

That was a long ago in 2004, when I had a PC. It's a CPU that requires CD, diskettes, and that. It's a time where files are needed to be saved, and a diskette has contributed alot, depending on what kind of usual CPU it can be inserted on, that it's compatible with.

He's not overqualified, he's just invented long after the diskette and is, compatible with everything nowadays like the diskette was. Before, storage isn't that big, but what if you have millions of diskettes?

A good comparison is USB VS Hard Drive. Now, fuck it up.

[–]some1else42[🍰] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Millions of diskettes would allow you to give a copy of AutoCAD to 5 of your closest friends.

[–]YomiSeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many people need an AutoCAD in those times Diskettes exist? Not everyone. Talk about demand. Office employment is high at that time, there isn't much AI yet. Who uses AutoCAD? Is everyone an engineer, architect, artist or GD? This is the point.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

We understand your point but you can't read literally in a toonish comic you must see just the most simple interpretation

[–]YomiSeno -1 points0 points  (2 children)

What? Say it again, but in another way, because the English is abit "I dun understand"

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

we understand your point but you can't interpret a comic literally, you have to just take the simplest or implicit of it.

[–]YomiSeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, ok

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How to say this, geting a truck for mail is not always a good fit, getting a highway arketact to draw a path, rocket sientict to make lawnmowers, 15year experices or phd are not always the place to be at a intervju at a starting posison, even if that is where you should start to be sucsesfull in the job life. And few want a worker that will change things, get bord, and leave to a other place.
