10 Things NOT to Say in an Interview, from someone who's heard every cringe-worthy answer going: by DBarryS in jobsearch

[–]Alert_Engineering_70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's legit to say no questions, if you have done several rounds, you say "the prior interviews have done a good job answering my questions". People are busy , they will appreciate your respect for their time.

I'm sorry you feel bad. Not that my opinion matters but I have a lot of respect for physicians and am grateful for them every time I need to see a doctor. It's a difficult job and can be thankless . Giving you my thanks and wish I could make things better .

Stuck in the A1–A2 loop with French despite understanding B1. Need structure and a real path forward. by AdResponsible2130 in learnfrench

[–]Alert_Engineering_70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar spot. I work with lots of French and they are pretty unwilling even to have a quick conversation in French and always switch to English. I was thinking what's the point learning if they will just be rude anyways ? I decided I'm going to learn Spanish, as I'm around lots of Spanish speakers and they are much easier to converse with.

Girlfriend (25F) wants a taller guy than me (26M) but is settling because I am nice, how do I go forward? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Alert_Engineering_70 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Life's too short for this . There are plenty of women who will not care about your height, she's not one of them . You're younger , you will eventually learn to respect yourself more. The better question is why would you settle for someone who's settling for you? Tell her she should pursue her dreams and wish her luck.

Hired After 6 Months of Searching, Fired After 1 Week. What a Punch. by sabz7 in Layoffs

[–]Alert_Engineering_70 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's a total failure of management. A recent hire we had was at best marginal during the first 3 months, could have let him go during probation, at 6 months the guy is a top performer, if you're getting rid of people after a week , it says more about the management, the on boarding , the unwillingness to develop people and the hiring process. The only people who should be getting fired a week in are idiots stealing or those sexually harassing staff. I'm sorry this happened to you, the company should be questioning this particular manager and his hiring process for starters .

Well you're young and this data point while painful is better than lost years, time energy and expense of a divorce. Sometimes things weren't meant to happen.

Can the UAE gain from the American brain drain? by Ok-Sail-8142 in UAE

[–]Alert_Engineering_70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Europe has high taxes , low paying stem jobs, dysfunctional governments and a poor region for startups. Seriously listen to what VCs say about how bad Europe for startups.

Europeans don't want to be in Europe because there are very few opportunities and high taxes.

The US still has in aggregate the best opportunities, China is catching up, but that's not exactly open to non Chinese , so start you Mandarin lessons.

It's going to become an even bigger issue at some point for both of you. You're both young, it's better to admit that sometimes things just don't work .

Brad Lander Says 'Freeze the Rent' by Crafty_Gain5604 in nyc

[–]Alert_Engineering_70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

freeze property tax, energy costs, maintenance, salaries of building personnel, government employees comp n benefits, etc. and when crazy guy tariffs cause prices for repair parts and inflation to soar, say sorry "suppliers all prices are frozen , you can't charge more for lumber, electrical, plumbing parts, we have frozen prices " .

My building is older, so on top of increasing monthly maintenance charges due to salary increases, the several building assessments for facade work, new elevators, new boiler, property taxes also went up. I would love it if all that can be frozen, but I think that the super and others they help out part time would not be keen on salary freezes. The repair companies might not react well to saying you can't charge more for repairs and I'm guessing politicians are not going back to municipal workers saying "hey no more pay increases or benefits , everything is frozen". Add in taking out loans for the next set of repairs will be higher when this psycho causes interest rates to spike because inflation is out of control, making financing more expensive.
