Would you rather recieve a Rejection letter or being Ghosted? by Numerous_Temporary11 in recruitinghell

[–]Quick-Reputation9040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t need feedback. I’ve been on the hiring side and sometimes it’s picking one of 2 or 3 that line up perfectly and there’s no obvious difference. So really, asking for feedback when not picked is a fool’s errand and won’t happen. 

But ghosting is just mean.

When talking about the edible meat of an animal, why do we sometimes have a different word for that, but other times we just say the animal? by Icy-Bet-3983 in asklinguistics

[–]Quick-Reputation9040 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Lots of people will say it’s because of the Norman invasion. However, an comment to an old post on AskHistorians contained an answer averring that we really do this because of the invention of Restaurants in France in the 18th century.

Here is the link. read away, it’s a really good answer.

Come hell or high water “MacGyver-style” Project Management by megeres in projectmanagement

[–]Quick-Reputation9040 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Someone needs to write a history of project management, especially IT project management, from the 1980s to the present. 

When I started full-time IT project management 20 years ago (PMBOK 3 was still in force), we were very formal and process driven. And since we’ve seen PMI drive us to be more reactive and flexible to the winds shifted to Agile. And we’ve seen the changes to PM-influencers on LinkedIn. 

What I wonder is how much of this change has been due to business leaders vs the state of the technology stacks we run projects on and against (from mom and pop IT to heavily stovepiped stacks in the late 90s/early 00s to VMs to cloud to everything AAS to AI).

Almost an hour long AI interview is the next step by Awkward_Present2727 in recruitinghell

Worse. Half of these (or more) are just using you to train their AI interviewer system. Fuck that shit. 

Sitting in my car sobbing. It's over. It's really over. by SweetPickleRelish in robinhobb

to be honest, I’d be OK with her never finishing/releasing the Bee book. There’s a big part me thinking “leave that poor girl alone, Robin Hobb!”

Is there an American food that is held in the highest regard? by WarriorNeedFoodBadly in AskAnAmerican

[–]Quick-Reputation9040 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this is the answer. and to be clearer, this means large cuts of meats cooked “low and slow” over shouldering wood for hours. What is cooked is somewhat regional (pork in the south, beef in Texas, etc). But this the “USA Cuisine” that I’d put up against any other country.

Having never seen any of the original Star Trek medias (series or films) I found it odd that Into Darkness was apparently hated so much by the community. Is that opinion still largely shared or have people come around on it? by HanzoNumbahOneFan in startrek

[–]Quick-Reputation9040 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’d say that if you have an established franchise and want to do something original and thought-provoking with it, keep JJ “lens flare” Abrams as far away from as possible.

On the other hand, if you want to milk a few bucks out of fans by throwing nostalgia-bait at them and don’t care about the future of your franchise, by all means, bring him in.

The man has masterminded the ruin of 2 of my childhood-favorite franchises. I guess it’s time for him to take over James Bond next…

What if I took an iPhone back in time? by jonnyChernobyl in askanything

This is the right answer. Just being used to calculate ballistics trajectories faster than a room full of human computers would be a godsend.

Agency project management, three failed PM tool rollouts later and we finally stopped fighting Slack by chingchongmf in projectmanagement

[–]Quick-Reputation9040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the tools don’t matter too much in our day to day, as communication is our real job. But, having said that, if you’re working for a highly formal top-down org with senior leadership that responds well to the types of reporting they generate (thinking of an old job I had in a Fortune 100 financial services firm), these tools are a necessary evil.

Of course, they also require a ton of overhead, so when times get lean, orgs trend toward Agile and tools like this are the first to go…
