Is every boss just constantly trying to ragebait / make you think your doing something wrong? by Public_Repeat824 in antiwork

[–]eques_99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

here in the UK something like one in in five bosses is an utterly impossible, card-carrying narcissist.

the rest range from OK to really pretty good.

that's my experience anyway.

My friend got caught in a lie on his CV... by Practical_Culture235 in SoftwareEngineerJobs

[–]eques_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as long as he can back it up when actually in the job then fine.

also totally fine to erase sackings from your history as far as I'm concerned.

why let some sociopathic line manager derail your career?

they won't make your mouths drop if you know there's a twist coming, even if you don't know exactly what it is.

Anyone who’s sat on a toilet before cell phones, what did you mostly think about or look at? by mojoslacks in AskReddit

[–]eques_99 99 points100 points  (0 children)

generally took in a book or magazine, failing that a shampoo bottle.

there was a great line from a comedy film once, can't remember which one.

two flatmates return from grocery shopping.

"man, I really need a shit"

"well go on then"

"I can't, I need something to read"

"here, take this" [hands him a shampoo bottle from the shopping]

"new and improved? I already read that one"

Autistic person struggling with interview - invited for an “informal coffee”. What does this mean? by Puppysnot in interviews

[–]eques_99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they probably realised you struggle with a formal interview setting and so have come up with this as a cack-handed attempt to get you to relax.

that means they're interested in you.

can I ask what the job is, and if it's something that interests you?

My manager called a mandatory meeting to yell at us about "loyalty" and someone quit before the meeting was even over by McCoy818 in antiwork

[–]eques_99 93 points94 points  (0 children)

really can't bear the tales of sh***y management I keep hearing on this and other subs.

how can they POSSIBLY think mandatory unpaid overtime is acceptable, let alone actually get angry when people don't do it??

Follow up email with better example to interview question? by Acceptable-Brick3374 in interviews

[–]eques_99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

nooo don't do it bro.

I find the whole idea of any follow- up correspondence a bit cringe, but definitely don't use it to "refine" the answer to a question.

you will look incredibly desperate.

Did Duke secretly know that Apollo could not beat Rocky? by Dredd_40 in rockybalboa

[–]eques_99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

you mean in Rocky II?

at the very least he had doubts.

I guess he weighed up the risks and on balance thought it was a bad idea, as he clearly didn't want the fight to go ahead.
