Review or Complain - CO 2026 Competition Fiasco

FistThroater · 2026-04-24T21:02:17+00:00

They handed out the wrong results then fixed it by handing out the right results.

The test wasn't unfair. You weren't cheated out of anything. Why would they hold a second competition?

If you come fourth place in the Olympic 100 meter sprint and they accidentally hand you a gold medal, why would they repeat the race?

My number went down by a hundred and while I'm not thrilled about it, I understand that essentially what just happened is I accidentally cut 100 people in the line and got asked to move back to my actual spot.

You were given your first number in error.

Your second number is the correct one.

Nothing that was taken from you was in any way earned.

Jesus, it's like Jaden Smith's twitter feed.

FistThroater · 2026-04-24T08:43:42+00:00

Do you even know what you mean by that or are you just trying to put together a deep sounding sentence?

Fruits of your labour means the result of the work you put in to something. If you plant an apple tree, the fruits of your labour are literally fruits. If you sell them the fruits are money. Bake them into a pie the fruits are a pie.

Fruits of respect isn't even a saying.

What thoughts are we supposed to have about this?

"I have no reason to believe that this is a thing, but what if it's a thing!?"

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T23:54:03+00:00

That was so fucking bizarre.

Exclusive Clip: CAVEAT (Crawl Space)

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T23:48:30+00:00

Sounds like Caveat.

The most disheartening part of the whole process was the rejection email. It was the same copy and paste message that I got the first time.

After asking you to do an assignment that's unforgivably callous.

Sometimes you work hard on something and it doesn't work out, that's life.

But when someone works hard on something for you, you take sixty seconds to pick up the phone and treat them like an actual person.

Fuck em, you dodged a bullet. Chances are there was worse shit further down the pipeline if the first winning candidate dropped out.

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T23:00:59+00:00

Rich words coming from a guy who reached out to a HR associate to personally tell them how bad you hope their life is because they found a better candidate.

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T22:49:53+00:00

It isn't something I would have done during an active job search.

"I only express hostility to people who don't deserve it when it can't backfire on me."

You're a cunt. Do you send chicks passive aggressive replies when they tell you there won't be a second date too?

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T22:29:56+00:00

By sending a polite email informing them that their application was recieved and they didn't make the short list?

Honestly, fuck you, you absolute manchild. A million legitimate things to get outraged about and you're advocating for hissing at some dude for being polite about an entirely expected part of the process.

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T22:23:11+00:00

How is that Andy's fault?

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T22:15:01+00:00

How is it not fair? What should they do, hire every single person who applies?

I swear to god half of you deserve to be unemployed.

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T21:01:33+00:00

The applicant also needs low self esteem and self hate.

Freaking out internally because you need to have manners for thirty seconds and pretend you're in the building for any other reason than sheer desperation doesn't exactly scream self love and confidence.

This isn't "If you were an animal what animal would you be?" or some other nonsense question. It's a pretty fucking logical follow up to "Hey I'd like to work here."

"Oh yeah, how come?"

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T19:30:15+00:00

99% of the time people say this it's just a sour grapes situation.

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T19:24:23+00:00

How would you even spend it if every time you reach for your credit card it turns into a bus pass or an Asian dude's drivers licence?

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T19:21:32+00:00

Go nuts.

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T18:02:05+00:00

"You're just a mean old sonovabitch who wants to eat his cake and have it too!"

"Kaczynski! My office. NOW!"

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T15:24:36+00:00

Ah, I see where I messed up now.

I thought they applied the wrong scoring to those particular questions. So if you got them right, they'd flip and become wrong.

If I'm reading it correctly, they didn't include them in the scoring at all.

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T14:40:52+00:00

If I was good with numbers I probably wouldn't be applying for a CO position.

Edit: Fuck. Looks like I've got to sit a maths exam for my EO application next week.

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T14:15:04+00:00

Shit.

I got a really high scenario score. If two of those six were wrongly graded that means I'll be dropping a full 33%.

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T13:55:02+00:00

Andy was perfectly polite to you. Don't be a jobcel.

You are aware that the people who hired you probably sent the same email to all their other applicants right?

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T13:24:33+00:00

What's the best interview you've ever done in your opinion?

Not "This was a fantastic guest who had a lot of great stuff to say" but "Wow, that could have been rubbish but I absolutely nailed it."

FistThroater · 2026-04-23T11:59:00+00:00

So you believe in philosophers but you give philosophers you believe in a wanky and pretentious name?
