Morningwoodpecker posted:I have no idea who pissflaps is or what he used to do. I get that you don't seem to like him but as a mod you should be able to verify he's not me and vice versa. No I said you are making the same posts, not that you are him. The reason for the pushback from other posters is because he made all these same terrible and ignorant posts and garnered the same reaction that you are currently experiencing. This is why people are short with you. Coming into a monthly thread like this, which has a strong community and large sense of continuity and making the sorts of posts you are shows one of the two things I mentioned. Either you know the sorts of reactions you will get and it is deliberate, or you have not lurked enough to understand that what you are saying has been discussed time and time and time again, hence ignorant.

Hey I need some advice on the woke life. I'm v. unhappy with my job at the moment for various reasons. There are jobs for me but most of them would require a move that I can't afford, and also further away from my parents where I'll be needed in the next years. I have an interview offered for a very interesting position at a company not that far away. Here's the thing: they're essentially a dairy R&D company. What they do is both used to improve dairy products, but also to detect producers that are skirting laws on environmental and animal protection (I doubt that when forced, they'd take any side other than profits). But I'm against animal products and industrial cattle use in general, and avoid them as far as possible. So, what do? Should I even entertain the thought of attending the interview? Ought I go there and make clear that I'd do the job from an animal welfare standpoint? Should I be cool with working with someone whose morals don't align because I have mouths to feed?

I mean personally I don't share that position so, I'm not really going to suggest that you'd be doing anything wrong working there, but equally that's something that really only you can answer? Are you going to experience a drop in your quality of life because working there makes you feel bad? I might suggest it's worth interviewing if nothing else, you don't have to accept. Questions about their position on ethics are something you might want to ask, given the opportunity. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 10:45 on Oct 25, 2019 |

Sounds like you're perfect for the job really - the agricultural industry should be full of people who give a poo poo about animal welfare. Sure you might not want the industry to exist at all, but if it must, wouldn't you want to be a part of making it the best it can be?

Sanford posted:On a similar subject I had a right loving row with a director last week because he wanted to mark down an applicant because the suit he wore to the interview was "shabby". Poor guy's been unemployed for ten months, give him the job and he'll be able to buy a new loving suit if you think it's that important. We don't even have a dress code. loving ridiculous. Just wanted to say I love the little updates you give on your life of taking no poo poo and getting into rows with everyone.

Lord Stimperor posted:Hey I need some advice on the woke life. Nothing wrong with doing this for a couple of months and jumping ship as soon as you find something that is better aligned with your morals. Because morals are a luxury that goes down the drain very fast as your quality of life and bank account diminish, and at least this way you’re not desperate.

Go for the interview but if you don't feel they're taking the animal welfare aspect seriously then walk away from it as that's the only redeemable part of the job to you.

Guavanaut posted:Yes, the Labour centrists, Blairites, and right wangers need to cut their poo poo out and get behind Corbyn like they demanded everyone else do at times when they were in charge. This isn't really news though, it's been the case since 2015, and moreso back then. Definitely. It is news though as it seems to still be monopolising the Labour party during the worst national crisis in living memory as a result of which the Tories effectively have free reign to drag the country down with them. We are in this mess because the Tories couldn't stomach booting the ERG, labour are in a similar position with their own split. Neither can get their house in order because it would mean harming their own majority so we are stuck with two dysfunctional political parties whilst the EU watch in dismay as we waste another extension. I'm eyeing the approaching Brexit cliff and thinking we haven't got time for this.

Lord Stimperor posted:Hey I need some advice on the woke life. Sort of similar situation that may or may not help. I had a few extremely passionate ecologist colleagues who joined up with some of the consultancy firms doing the mitigation work for HS2. HS2 is well known as being very bad for the environment, potentially destroying huge areas of protected woodland and other sensitive habitats. But these people did the work as they felt that it would be done regardless*, and having someone with who truly cared about nature doing the work would at least be able to make sure that it was done properly, and they would then have an effective voice in the mitigation. *obviously HS2 is back up in the air, but still. If you can hack working around dairy farms, then it could be good for someone with your passion for animal welfare to be involved, even if it only makes a small change for the better thats better than nothing. Find out more about the company, go for an interview, see if its an option. An interview is good experience if nothing else.

Lord Stimperor posted:Hey I need some advice on the woke life. And there's been thousands of people who worked in, say, coal mining because it was the only employer in town, but were actually against black lung and smog and their children being buried under heaps of spoil from collapsing tips, so it's not like being in the industry means you approve of the effects of the industry. They joined unions and worked for change from within. Also it's good that they work for animal protection, and the only reason they'd take the side of profit over that is because enough people within the structure take the side of profit. More people joining who care about welfare over profit changes that likelihood. It's up to your own decision of separatism for the sake of purity vs we live in a society. Lib Dems are the Hitler hiding under the table.

Wait, is the whole thing the poster, or is that their poster side-by-side with the original for us to compare? Because if your reference needs the original next to it for people to get it, maybe it's not a good reference.

Labour are right to be holding off on committing to this election, especially since the extension hasn’t been ratified yet. Let the EU27 blink first. They don’t want no deal as much as we don’t, and the only way to guarantee this is to have the extension ratified so an election can be called without it being a possibility.

The guy has literally just replied to say he accepts. He's starting Monday, and he definitely doesn't need to wear a suit. First time I've ever managed to swing a hiring decision on the basis of "they're unemployed, so can start immediately". One of my colleagues tried to argue that unemployed + willing to accept 10k less than an equally-qualified applicant was a solid reason not to hire him. Totally mind boggling.
