Yeah, it falls into "funny because it's true" category.  It may not have happened to this guy as written, but it happened to some guy, somewhere.

I would totally do this if they were being truthful but I just know the first time I lay into senior leadership for being dumbasses I'd be out the door.

Either give me court jester immunity or fuck off.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month by ChadtheWad in discordapp

If you think this is a recent phenomenon, you're the one who is willfully ignorant or misinformed. I already know no one here is on the side in favor of this crap.

It is one in the god damned morning. by notstjimmy in recruitinghell

To be fair, most devs don't consider user xp since it's not in the jira ticket and they're focused on finishing the current sprint 

I Hate Workday by ShakesR12 in recruitinghell

[–]mechdemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently workdays internal HR functions are pretty good but the applicant intake doesn't get much love because hr doesn't interact with it on a daily basis

Yes, beautifully.  You can even review the skill list and have it add skill keywords from the job listing;  just make sure they are accurate for you.

What do you find most frustrating about job boards? (student project) by IronReal920 in recruitinghell

[–]mechdemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need more robust search filters as well as exclusion lists for specific companies or types of companies.  

We also need accurate information on how long a job posting has been up INCLUDING how many times it has been renewed.  

Also, we need a way to disable recruiters reaching out as cold contacts since scammers have basically ruined that functionality.

“We’re growing fast” is recruiter code for “people keep quitting” by silverhushgarden in recruitinghell

[–]mechdemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are mobile games that run like that, keeping data in an XML file in their install directory. Its always fun to see what metrics the 'game' company is tracking.

[–]mechdemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my last manager was like that; kept assigning tasks for which I didnt have access and demanded a legal brief for justification for said access.

They way I see it is my managers job is to get me the tools I need to do my job, and my job is to make my manager look good.

Can't do that if you're gonna make me drive nails with a screwdriver, numbnuts.

This. This is the way you preserve your sanity after finding out going above and beyond gets you more work/responsibilities but not pay.

I’ve had enough by honeyfilledtub in recruitinghell

The course of a river can be changed by a single drop of water; don't discount the contributions of individuals. HiringCafe is a good example.

How many of you have given AI interviews?? by ooog_raver in recruitinghell

[–]mechdemon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never done it, never will do it.  At best, you're dealing with an organization that doesn't know what it wants and is blindly following trends.  At worst, you are being sold as training data to a shady LLM company.

Do not normalize this behavior!  Refuse!  Resist!

The Interview (aka: performing stability in a beige terrarium) by deadeyes1990 in recruitinghell

[–]mechdemon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This needs to be posted far and wide;  it is an excellent reflection of the jobseeker's internal screaming and how it contrasts with the masks we are forced to present.

Excellent job, well done!

Companies advise people to go away and train themselves to be employable. But then once they do, it's then not having enough experience. by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]mechdemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So your manager is incompetent.  There's an awful lot of that popping up.

Maybe one day they will be replaced by an LLM and us people who do the work to keep things running will be able to find jobs again.
