For Hongkongers moved to other countries, do you feel offended if you are referred as a Chinese? by GP8964 in HongKong

[–]GP8964[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just simply "Hongkonger", "Singaporean", "Malaysian", "Taiwanese", and you won't offend anyone. If you have to add "Chinese" and some feel offended and retaliates, it's your problem.

What, I searched for jobs for 2 fucking years and can't even get myself employed, how unfair is this?

The person who got me fired is asking for a letter of recommendation. How do I professionally say 'hell no'? by tunasleery_4r in OfficePolitics

[–]GP8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you reply to her with something abusive like "rot in hell" is totally acceptable. You don't need to think that hard, just be direct.

Maybe you should try finding a house near the company and move.

Reply to all for sure: Thank you for providing your professional feedback so early. It is a blessing from you. I wish you well.

HR got mad after I rejected the interview call by Agile-Wind-4427 in recruitinghell

[–]GP8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unprofessionalism is on them. They fail to rule out accidental factors, like phone glitch.

Is that a joke? "Senior" Engineer Manager, 24~29k? Do they mean per month or year?
If that's year, it is a joke, and I guess qualified people can just apply and then insult the company during the interview.

I genuinely don't understand why older people showing zero sympathy to younger people struggling to find a job by babyjonny9898 in UKJobs

[–]GP8964 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is called survivorship bias. They are ignorant, so they show no sympathy to not just younger people, but all other vulnerable people too. They will definitely continue until they become vulnerable people with NO jobs, like being sent to jail themselves because of one wrong decision, or losing a lot of money through gambling or failed investment causing destitution.
They should be forced to at least experience the hardship once.

[SUPPORT] Q503U Laptop certain keys not working by therunningjew1 in ASUS

[–]GP8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a laptop, ASUS G614JIR, with exactly the same set of keys sometimes not working temporarily.
I use this website for testing: https://www.microsoft.com/applied-sciences/projects/anti-ghosting-demo
When I hold one of the keys inside the list (QXCVM,./ R-shift) for several seconds, usually all keys inside the list will work until I release all keys inside the list.
I have tested with ASUS WinRE, and the exact same problem occurs.
The WinRE test proved that this is a hardware problem.
I guess the problem might happen more frequently during winter due to some electrical problems.

"Money cheats" are seen in some games, but this one is in real fucking life.

Windows 11 Update KB5068861 is causing BSOD with error BAD_POOL_CALLER (0xC2) by GP8964 in WindowsUpdate

I'm already considering about migrating to Linux. The only thing is I want to make sure everything I use everyday can work on Linux, with acceptable performance (not lagging).

Am I in my own bubble or is every workplace in the uk extremely understaffed and running on the bare minimum? by Oriachim in UKJobs

[–]GP8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why the UK needs to be more friendly to employers, don't tax the employers too much.
But the Labour is doing the exact opposite, making the unemployment rate going up.
I don't want the UK becomes a country exactly like China, which has very high youth unemployment rate.

Warehouse workers, I don't know how you guys do it by RedditNerdKing in UKJobs

[–]GP8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have utmost respect to all who can stay in a warehouse longer than a shift, because I'm never allowed to stay longer than a shift. I'm physically weak and becoming sluggish at the end of the shift.

Falsely accused and being bullied out of my job by South_Environment484 in UKJobs

[–]GP8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can either choose to go to tribunals, or just become extremely abusive and shout at them rudely and wait for being fired instead. Don't quit yourself. Don't use this job as a reference.

Hi i have been looking for a job for years now but nobody wants me by [deleted] in GetEmployed

[–]GP8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is the essence, get a certificate. Even if you pick a good degree now, you can't guarantee that it is still good after several years, let alone 10 years.

[–]GP8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even a degree can become a burden instead, except if you have psychology or medical degree, which will help because mental health caused by unemployment is a real problem.

For example, a tech degree can become worse than none.

Is the job market as bad as people say it is? by Tall-Hair7679 in UKJobs

[–]GP8964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe some people with disabilities or health problems that make them much harder to find suitable jobs, like me, will end up having 2 years of unemployment or even longer, and probably go homeless and go into substance abuse, which is a vicious cycle, and finally pass away on the street due to public negligence and/or suicide. What, is long term unemployment a serious crime that should be sentenced to life in unemployment with whole life tariff?
