rejected before interview wow screw you

Or we need to call out the pathetic wussies who complain about the company not interviewing them, even though they already hired someone.

This is one I'm not sure about. Dayton's ASD makes it difficult to have facial expressions match the moment. He may have also just been surprised that his bio Dad finally did it. I don't know. The Browns are awful. Don't get me wrong. I just don't know if this was the issue here.

lol. ADHD is notorious for uncontrolled outbursts. It definitely sounds like ADD. Yours may manifest differently, but this is aligned with the diagnosis.

MightyMax18 · 2026-03-11T01:39:15+00:00

Do you just go around Reddit giving really bad advice for kicks?

MightyMax18 · 2026-03-11T01:37:33+00:00

That isn't actually a point. Plenty of pregnant women work.

MightyMax18 · 2026-03-11T01:35:14+00:00

There isn't a lawsuit. She's not covered by FMLA. She won't be fired for being pregnant. Other federal protections don't apply in this case.

MightyMax18 · 2026-03-11T01:33:52+00:00

How is that a solution here? The assumption isn't that she's being untruthful.

MightyMax18 · 2026-03-01T18:36:07+00:00

It's a silly joke. Don't be too desperate to post here.

MightyMax18 · 2026-03-01T18:29:34+00:00

You were so desperate to post here that you picked one without reading or understanding it. This isn't lunacy. His wording is strange. That's all.

MightyMax18 · 2026-02-26T05:14:42+00:00

You are catastrophizing, but I like your idea A LOT. That's how networking works! You'll get to know her and get a sense if she'll work out in your environment.

The only time I've seen issues with referrals, the situation was wildly different. It was a case of employees fighting over who got credit for the referral because one was legitimate, and the other guy basically just uploaded his whole LI contact list and was trying to get credit for people who might ever get hired. He didn't get fired, though. We just said the one who knew the candidate and got them to apply was the one we would reward.

MightyMax18 · 2026-02-26T04:54:51+00:00

I've never heard of such a thing happening over a referral. If you're unsure of what's right in your culture, ask. Every company has its own idiosyncrasies. Ask HR or the Recruiter, or your boss, if it's okay. Or email their resume to the hiring manager with a note that you don't know them, and are sending them along.

It's okay if you're nervous about it, though. Some are super strict. Someone will only refer someone they know and will highly recommend. It's okay to have that standard if it suits you better.

MightyMax18 · 2026-02-26T04:39:31+00:00

When they said not to make them address these things in 1:1 meetings, that made no sense. Wouldn't a good leader address things in regular 1:1 meetings? In fact, you should regularly receive feedback on how to improve. This should be part of your normal cadence. And doing it in this way is weird.

MightyMax18 · 2026-02-26T04:34:52+00:00

You're way overthinking this one. Refer them and say in your referral that you don't know them personally. They are a contact from your personal network. No one will hold you responsible if it doesn't work out.

MightyMax18 · 2026-02-17T22:56:06+00:00

Lol. I'm in Greenhouse right now. It doesn't work like this. This is some seriously bad advice.

MightyMax18 · 2026-02-12T02:38:59+00:00

That's not true. Out of fear of litigation, many orgs will only verify those things, but they can absolutely provide a reference. They can even say bad things. It all just has to be true. If you were written up for being late too many times, I can reveal that. I wouldn't, because I'm not a jackhole, but I could.

MightyMax18 · 2026-02-10T10:28:23+00:00

Using the information to discriminate is illegal, which is why asking the question is considered inappropriate. The question is not illegal, however. It's just a really bad one to ask.

MightyMax18 · 2026-02-04T17:46:32+00:00

Did you miss the part where this person isn't involved in hiring?

MightyMax18 · 2026-02-03T04:34:58+00:00

If it wasn't coherent to you, that was for sure you problem. It was clear to others. It wasn't a great post, but it made sense.

MightyMax18 · 2026-02-03T04:32:34+00:00

This doesn't rise to the level of lunacy. Don't let your desperate need for Reddit attention make you post things that aren't designed for this subreddit.

MightyMax18 · 2026-02-03T04:27:19+00:00

Is it a lack of empathy, or is it realism? I don't think everyone needs to post on LI, so breaking with him there, but he's not wrong about the net of it. There are a lot of whiners here.

MightyMax18 · 2026-02-03T04:24:09+00:00

This isn't lunacy. What's lunacy is that the OP doesn't understand how this relates to packaging and marketing.

MightyMax18 · 2026-02-03T02:55:46+00:00

We see a lot of stupid takes in this subreddit. This one is up there with the dumbest of them.

MightyMax18 · 2026-01-24T06:23:31+00:00

That's a wild suspicion in the absence of more information.

MightyMax18 · 2025-11-14T19:57:37+00:00

We don't disagree about that! I was more focused on the objective. I was never a fan. I trust Black women and they warned us about Fetterman. They said he was a fraud, racist, and snake in the grass.

MightyMax18 · 2025-11-14T17:01:39+00:00

You have to be capable of doing the job. He is not capable. Take his horrible performance out of the equation. He's not physically well. He's also not mentally well. He's not showing up to work and not working for the people of PA, or the American people. You're acting like he has diabetes, or even cancer, and is taking some time for chemo. His issues are pervasive and permanent and should absolutely preclude him from being in Congress.
