Incompetent manager continues to create havoc with her dodgy recruitment processes. Nine of the people in my daughter's IT team are Nepalese. One of the guys hired from an agency told manager weeks ago that he needed evidence of his employment to submit for his visa renewal. Manager decided a letter from her would suffice. Everyone else knew it wouldn't and it didn't. His visa expires on Friday and it is now a race against the clock. Today manager asked for a copy of his most recent resume. This means HR still doesn't have everything they need to give him a letter of offer and a new contract. His visa is totally dependent on him working X hours per week in IT (he can't even work in anther field). Daughter started the week willing to try to make peace with manager. It lasted 24 hours.

Monday morning: Go to clients house to take him to the gym. Find him half naked behind a bakery out of his gourd huffing paint. Tuesday: Same client was nowhere to be found for a doctors appointment. Today: Not home, nowhere to be found in town from any of his associates or family or government agencies. Whelp he missed his FIRST parole meeting. And at 5 this afternoon surprise surprise here he stumbles through our front door stinking of boxwine wanting to be taken down the river to see his mates. Let's see how tomorrow goes taking him to a psych appointment.

Variety is the spice of life I say and great to experience different things from different perspectives. I honestly don't think he will, he has family inside and some lovely family outside...

If anyone else ever felt like they needed more Inglorious Basterds, go watch a Finnish action film called Sisu. It's one very angry Finnish gold miner (and former Commando in the Winter War) against a division of Nazis during the close of WW2. It's loving amazing, and very gratuitous in its violence.

Job interviews are designed for psychopaths, there are few things that I hate more in life, just walking into pure misery and I have another one tomorrow. I'm not even really shy or anything, I just despise them. I can't imagine how you'd do if you were a properly nervous and quiet person.

When I'm nervous I tend to talk really quickly but I guess the upside of this is that I get more info across? It's hard and I hate doing them  Also I work in HR so extra comedy there

I've done 2 job interviews in 15 years in my industry and they were both pretty much to check if I was some kind of weirdo, as they had seen my work already and pretty much decided to hire me. Makes for very different and more relaxed experience when you both know the people on the other side of the table have seen and like your work. In previous jobs I had a pretty good hit rate, I suspect because I'm tall and could fake a confident demeanour well enough EoinCannon fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Sep 20, 2023 |

The whole process of applying for jobs is insane. Just begging and lying about how much you want a thing that you would not otherwise want to do if not for the ever present threat of homelessness.

I guess I'm fortunate, for the last couple of decades I've been mostly able to get jobs that are generally fairly interesting with lots of fun puzzles to solve, to the point that if I didn't need the money any more I would have likely kept working anyway because the challenges were enjoyable. Interviews still suck arse though, self-promotion and whatnot don't come terribly easily and it can be difficult to break down intuitive thinking into those situation task action dealies they need to hear.

For the last 10 years I've gotten jobs and promotions off mates or becoming friends with coworkers at social events. Applying for jobs is an absolute poo poo show though I just get nothing back from employers or I get a call and the job offer is like 10-30k less than it's advertised as.
