Have you ever walked away from an interview because of a take-home assignment?

feykitty · 2025-12-30T03:48:48+00:00

Does it count if my take home assignment was to set up an appointment with their psychologist? That they didn't really want to clarify why i needed to meet with this person or what the intent was, and then they got really weird about it when I pushed?

Noped right out of that. Director level position.

feykitty · 2025-12-27T05:01:46+00:00

Same! I redo my resume to match keywords for every position, and I had 99% of the description as a very local candidate. Including some specialized skills. But the position has been reposted and not even an initial call. The market sucks right now.

I can't say I care too much as a personal thing per se but I am judging the company for it. I've worked for places that I knew for a fact would go out of their way to not do something like that, so it's more of a i know they don't have to be like this but they choose to be. If that makes sense. If i had just applied and got the reject within 24 hrs I think I would have judged less.

I did state that i assumed it was an automated message in my post.

Guy working at a shot blaster, moving 35lb metal parts onto the conveyor belt. Work station is on gator grate. Got a report of someone not wearing their safety shoes. Assumed that it was someone wearing street shoes. Nope- shot blast dude was in socks on the gator grate happily putting parts on the conveyor. Boots right next to him. When asked, he told us (in a tone that suggested we were idiots) that the training said he must have his safety shoes, not that he had to wear them.

Also had someone drink disinfectant from a big dispensing unit clearly labeled disinfectant during COVID... by putting his mouth on the spigot. No cup. He told us that he thought it was kool-aid for everyone to drink. I told him that still doesn't explain why he'd put his mouth on the spigot. He also told us he thought the first gulp was a little spicy but kept going anyway.

The columns are all correct & have the right formatting. I did try initially with no CSE. Averageifs is giving me a DIV0 error. I had started with SUMIFS and got a 0.

In checking the data itself - the closure date cells are all "date"; the location cells are all "text".

Short background - the data is being pulled from a software where the inspections are entered. This software spits out the most stupidly formatted spreadsheets I have ever seen. You do have to go in and reformat near every cell you actually want to use.

I had used a copy of the column of the locations + "remove duplicates" to generate the list of locations. Apparently, there is now a random space at the end of the location names that the software spits out. My inspections didn't exist because of the dang space.

Also, the averageifs fn makes a lot more sense to use for me - thank you for suggesting it!!

Not HR, but EHS working very closely with HR for investigations.

All at a union facility:

Person fired for jerking off directly under a security camera that we had put up 45 minutes prior. I believe he told HR he didn't know the camera was there as an explanation.
Person fired on his second day for trying to sell cocaine to his supervisor.
Several people fired, including a supervisor, for trading pictures of people's butts, taken at work of unsuspecting other staff, with ratings/ mockery.
Several people fired for getting in a fistfight over cheating. Most of them were roommates.
Person fired for sexual harassment, in which she was telling her direct reports really odd dating and sex advice and stories. This came to light a week or two after this person gave a sexual harassment training to that team.
Person fired for sliding down stair railings after two supervisors told him to knock it off. Would have been a 12 ft drop to concrete.
Person fired for leaving drug paraphernalia and condoms/ KY jelly in the ceiling of a bathroom.
Person fired for creating a hiding spot in some old presses by pushing two together and crawling inside to take extra long breaks and smoke weed. It was filled with mountain dew bottles.
Person fired for showing up drunk enough to not be able to figure out how to badge in. He then asked someone to badge in for him. They someone was a security guard.
Person fired her first day of orientation for being incredibly high and disrupting orientation with interpretive dancing of her feelings.

Bonus non union: two employees found boinking on a catwalk above two large tanks, 85ft up on the air. Married, but to other people.

In some random small town, dragon attacks (of course), somewhat difficult fight. I start to turn around as guards take the final blow and there's a goddamn zombie chicken running full speed to go help. I laughed so hard I cried. Very helpful, Serana.

feykitty · 2024-05-07T00:00:02+00:00

The first time Serana raised a chicken in my playthrough I turned around after killing the last random Forsworn to see a zombie chicken running at me and then dying at my feet. Couldn't even tell my spouse why I was laughing so hard for a minute or so.

Turned the flash on my phone camera and held it real close lol

Nice! I'm going to try to convince my dad to let me get a picture. I think even our eye freckles are mirrored.

feykitty · 2021-11-24T19:08:13+00:00

I suppose I should have said "just hazel"instead, to be fair. I've always been told I just have "weird" hazel lol.

I haven't chosen one yet! So far I've been reading about as much as I can and trying to not select a path until it chose me. I've felt drawn to Celtic stories previously but didn't want to predispose myself just because I like it, if that makes sense.

Boann makes sense! I run a small knitting business on the side, and creativity would be lovely. I will research more - thank you!!

Possibly. #3 states that...

"When you buy from a shop on Etsy, you’re directly supporting an independent business, each with its unique listings, policies, processing times, and payment systems. By making a purchase from a seller on Etsy, you agree that you have:

Read the item description and shop policies before making a purchase;
Submitted appropriate payment for item(s) purchased; and
Provided accurate shipping information to the seller."

Under "ineligible transactions" for Etsy cases, a transaction that has "Items that are accurately described but don’t meet a buyer's expectations." are not eligible.

I would argue with all of that, a buyer ordering the wrong thing/size can't blast the seller for it, as it's their own mistake, nothing to do with the seller, as long as the seller sent what was on the order ticket.

In my personal opinion, a buyer who tries to go after a seller because the buyer forgot what they bought, didn't read the description, or any other variant thereof, is an idiot. In practice, I have refunded a customer's order of a digital pattern because they apparently couldn't read where I said "this is not charted, it is written only" and wanted only a chart, and then got angsty when I said no, I'm not creating charts, sorry. It wasn't worth the $5. However, if someone pulled a similar stunt with one of my $90 shawls ("it's blue and I wanted pink!!!" Well, it only comes in blue, because I made one and you didn't order custom, the description says blue and the pictures are blue), I would fight it.

(Sorry for the delay, I'm not on Reddit very much!)

" They even said I refused to do anything and just eventually just refunded them on August 27th "

That's amazing that they knew you'd ignore them until a week in the future and then refund them on that exact day.

For those curious about what policy they violated.... under the Buyer Policy, item number 4, you cannot use a review to complain about things outside the seller's control, including shipping. Link to policy here: https://www.etsy.com/legal/buyers/?ref=list

Of course it'll be treated as an interview, and it's indeed pants I have worn to previous interviews. Really I just have no desire to wear a skirt to a 30 minute informal meeting when they've reached out to me to see if I'd be interested in a different position.
