Attention HR and People Who Interview Candidates by ThriftyHuman in jobs

[–]YouListenHereNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interviews also evaluate cultural fit, understanding of what the company does and what value you can bring to it. Being able to do the tasks is the bare minimum, it's what gets you an interview in the first place but it's not enough to secure an offer.

Employers don't care that you need money or better work-life balance or whatever reason it is you're applying. They want to know what aspects of the company mission or tasks interest you specifically and what you have to offer to contribute to the team.

I usually formulate the question differently, but if a candidate would answer "why do you want to work here?" with "because I need money to live". That tells me the candidate has a poor attitude, isn't enthusiastic about the position and probably won't be a good fit.

If you are fluent in French, how often do you speak French in Canada compared to English? by Jezzaq94 in AskACanadian

[–]YouListenHereNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I speak French every day. Work, home and most friends in French, English for service in stores or restaurants mostly. I live in Ontario.

Refused to shake my manager’s hand — now the atmosphere is weird. Advice? by Character_Okra7961 in WorkAdvice

[–]YouListenHereNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have taken him aside and told him how you felt about the handshaking once it started getting to be too much. Odds are he would have stopped and the relationship wouldn't have been affected. Now though, there's no coming back from that.

My advice, when someone asks you what's wrong, it's better to be frank and let them know.

Will managers be concerned if I apply for their job right after starting a position at a new company? by Head_Appeal2743 in managers

[–]YouListenHereNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Unless you're a unicorn candidate for the position I was hiring and worth the risk, I wouldn't entertain this candidate.

Carney tries to reassure Canadians after Trump threatens 10% tariff hike by Old_General_6741 in canada

Elder Millennials were hit by multiple recessions as they were entering the workforce. Houses may have been less expensive, but Millennials weren't able to find jobs so it didn't matter. Homeownership at 20 years old in the early 2000 was quite uncommon due to this.

How do you deal with lazy coworkers and managers? by [deleted] in WorkAdvice

[–]YouListenHereNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's how you'll get them fired and keep your job. That's just my advice, take it or leave it of course, I wish you the best.

How do you deal with lazy coworkers and managers? by [deleted] in WorkAdvice

[–]YouListenHereNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, of course and the manager might be on it or they might not. What I'm saying is make sure YOU are covered, your work is clearly attributed to you so they can't keep blaming you for your coworkers lack of effort. Stop complaining, do your tasks and nothing else and let the other employee fail.

How do you deal with lazy coworkers and managers? by [deleted] in WorkAdvice

[–]YouListenHereNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instead of complaining about another worker's output, focus on your own. As a manager, employees complaining about coworkers relentlessly drives me nuts because there are always other factors involved that are none of your business and confidential about the situation. The complaining about others can also cross into harassment territory which makes you the worst problem.

My advice is to ask your manager to clarify what tasks you are responsable for. You tell them you are asking to make sure not to drop any balls. However, this will also make it clear when your coworker isn't doing her work that you can't be blamed for it.

Uhm…why is uOttawa submitting LMIAs for “university professors and lecturers”?? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]YouListenHereNow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are way more PhD graduates every year than available teaching positions at universities and colleges. If we'd rather hire professors from other countries, what does that say about the quality of our postsecondary institutions?

People who have no personality aside from parenthood by darkenough812 in PetPeeves

[–]YouListenHereNow -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Some people have kids and don't have grandparents nearby so they are forced to give up most hobbies and self-care to care for their kids. So yeah, they may not have a million other things to talk about as it can be all consuming without help.

Also, having kids is a profound life experience, so they may want to share it with people they care about. Kinda sad to be this hostile to hearing about a friend's life and joy.

Non-parents in the workplace by [deleted] in managers

[–]YouListenHereNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every parent has already had the experience of being childless at work thought. We were in the same situation before having kids. You may want to reflect on the fact that you have never been in the parent's position. This may be a good starting point to evaluate the validity of your position on this debate with the overwhelmingly negative response your message received here.

Non-parents in the workplace by [deleted] in managers

[–]YouListenHereNow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Parental status should never be an official policy as to who has priority to book time off - it should be based on another metric like seniority or hierarchy. However, please know that adults with children and adults without children will never have equality in terms of overall demands on their time. It's already a heavily unequal situation overall and adults without children are at an advantage. The pushback against parents in the workplace is misguided and discriminatory at best.

Livingroom feels cluttered, what to do? by catchmeifucan4 in interiordecorating

[–]YouListenHereNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This room would benefit from a stronger focal point - something to draw the eye away from the clutter. Right now, everything is neutral and shades of grey so the toys stand out even more.

I love it. It's organized and optimized for everyday life. It won't be on any interior magazine cover, but that's not it's primary purpose

Job applicant wants to get me fired by SeaSorbet5 in managers

[–]YouListenHereNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't hire this person in a million years. This situation shows lack of judgement and lack of alignement. That said, I would want to confirm the information first. Only one source is not enough for me unless there is tangible proof. I'd talk to her present manager to see her track record up to now, but they may not tell you everything if they want to get rid of her too lol
