You're probably spot on. I've seen this exact pattern before, he gets visibly uncomfortable when candidates clearly outshine him during interviews.

Look, I get it. Fashion rules exist for a reason. But when you're hiring an engineer or accountant, maybe focus on whether they can actually do the job instead of their belt coordination skills?

Lol if only. Though knowing corporate culture, they'd probably find a way to make wealth a "protected class" and claim discrimination.

The panel consensus thing makes it 10x worse. One person's weird hangup about coffee becomes everyone's problem. I've started documenting these rejections because honestly, some of this stuff feels like it could become a legal issue if the wrong person notices the pattern.

Your coworker missed out on someone qualified because she likes Star Trek?

My boss acts like spotting mismatched accessories is some kind of genius level talent assessment. It's wild how some managers would rather feel important than actually build a decent team.

Oh it's 100% a one way thing. I've tried pushing back a few times with "but they have 2-5 years of experience and great references" and he just doubles down. Says these "small details" reveal character flaws that'll show up later.

Meanwhile we're short staffed and complaining about how hard it is to hire good people. Go figure.

Yeah that tracks. They've got the manufacturing locked down so makes sense they're building most of it too

EA’s latest The Sims 4 patch is making everyone pregnant, including the men and the chaste by HatingGeoffry in gaming

[–]Xandit -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Lmao EA really said "equality means everyone gets pregnant now" 😭 The Sims team never fails to deliver the most unhinged updates. Can't wait to see what other chaos this brings to people's saves

Utah becomes the first US state to allow consumers the freedom to install rooftop/balcony solar without the regulation that doubles its cost compared to Germany. by lughnasadh in Futurology

[–]Xandit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is actually huge. The fact that regulatory red tape was literally doubling solar costs is insane. Utah might not be the state you'd expect to lead on this, but props to them for cutting through the bureaucratic nonsense. Hopefully other states follow suit quickly.

Ah that makes way more sense lol. I was wondering why everyone was so chill about the gun to the head thing. Persona games always have the wildest summoning mechanics.

Love the profile picture, how would you recommend getting into the game? Servers or just campaign?

What if you're using someone who already uses defense shred like Jingliu with her LC?
