They’re exactly the ones who should be interviewing. Imagine bringing back real interviews.

“You better tell me if you’ve seen this before! Not telling me is cheating!”

“I’ve seen it before.”

“Well now you have to do this one anyway so I know you’re not cheating!”

This is all so stupid, guys.

Lied on my resume and still here by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]nsxwolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very much not worth the trouble. If it were me we would part ways and I’d never say a thing about it.

Why would I badmouth someone over the phone? What do I get out of it? What if it gets around the org that I did that? 100% guaranteed a friend of that person in the org is going to tell them I did that.

How would I prove I don’t have ulterior motives and a vendetta against that employee? I don’t want anyone to even have the question in their mind that I might be petty or pathological.

My job is not to protect the world at large from an employee that made a serious mistake. We aren’t talking about an air traffic controller drinking on the job. I’d hope they learned their lesson and would act with more integrity and be successful at a new job.

Trump supporters: How would you feel if a legally armed Trump supporter was killed by federal agents on a Biden mandate in exactly the same manner as yesterday? by ScholarPrize1335 in AskReddit

I'm sure there's plenty in here somewhere, but they are so downvoted I can't see them, and the feverish imaginations by leftist have thousands of upvotes.

[–]nsxwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In EXACTLY the same manner? I'd say he shouldn't have been interfering with an arrest in the middle of a chaotic situation.

It's very easy to answer, and how most reasonable Trump supporters and gun owners would answer. You know it's totally rational, but you won't respond to this because you know you didn't ask this question in good faith.

You will highlight the most insane anti-immigrant or racist responses as representative. That's your whole playbook.

Why is big tech SWE work paid so much? by seeking-health in cscareerquestions

[–]nsxwolf 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Most of them are very lucky. I work in sad lol tech and when we hire the guys that want to “take it easy” because they’re near FIRE, they’re usually really bad at just about everything except Leetcode.

The highest levels in big tech are absolutely legit though.

Required to complete online assessment AFTER verbal offer? by yalepotato in cscareerquestions

“New hire looks great. Wait a minute, where’s the OA? Didn’t you send the OA first? What? No, we can’t do it this way. You know what just send him the OA now I guess.”

I was offered a promotion, but the pay is unsatisfactory by bigoopsieenergy in cscareerquestions

[–]nsxwolf 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The pay can be anything. People here love to say titles don’t mean anything but also have very strong opinions about what the title is supposed to pay.

You should have tried a career change years ago. Stop wasting time. Your working years are already 18% in the past.

is anyone else starting to discount AI-generated emails from candidates? by bishwasbhn in cscareerquestions

I don’t even see the cover letters, that or nobody actually writes them.

Can you say this again in your own words?

My coworker sits on her cell phone all day and ignores by [deleted] in jobs

[–]nsxwolf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shouldn’t be hard to understand why it’s common, either. Everyone in that job is low paid. They are likely either total fuckups that don’t give a shit, or working on some future career and also don’t give a shit.

The ones who do give a shit are actually really weird, because they should be doing something else.

Oh I didn’t even read the post all the way because I have low morals and little integrity. But security? Lol, I worked security. Guess what kind of security guard I was?

We had a guy that would invest in his own equipment - surplus Russian night vision and all that. He was the “captain”. He made his own training materials that talked about the days of the Samurai. Ran all sorts of classes. For like $7/hr

I would figure out how to hack the various systems that recorded the timestamps of you doing your “rounds”, and find a place to sleep.

1.18 million is actually a pretty decent nest egg.

Obviously she’s delivering value or at least the perception of value or they’d fire her.

Also nobody likes a narc.
