cool job interview story #2: the hr person for my current gig would call me up the day before a holiday, it would go to voicemail, and then when i tried to call back, their voicemail was like "i'm out of the office for the next week on vacation, kthx". they did this on the wednesday before thanksgiving and december 23rd. i don't think i actually got on the phone with them until like february or some garbage.

When I graduated out of trade school for video production the placement guy there was like "Don't worry about it, I've got the place for you. Don't even bother applying at another place" and I was like poo poo, cool. Went in for an interview, it was pretty good. Called them a week later, "still interviewing candidates", another week "still wanna talk to some people" third week they sound loving annoyed that I'm even calling so I'm like oh cool thanks everybody you loving assholes and quit calling, I'm loving pissed at the school and these people and eventually just take up a day job.

A year goes by and the place calls me, they want me to come in and work post production. I'm still kinda mad at them but I still want to work in the field so I agree. Get in and find out ohhhhhhhh their post production lady is about to go on maternity leave. They tell me "oh no no don't worry about it you'll still be here when she comes back we need people". Work the job for a few months, she comes back....."ohhhhh well we're needing to cut down and you're getting laid off"



Fuuuuuuuuuuck






Edit: literally every other interview experience I've had other than that has been great, and most working experience too.


Edit: That film production place was small and I hated everyone there but I would have put up with it for the experience and to use as a step into something else but they fuuuuuucked me good.

I can answer this

Engineers design instead of build, which means they give the lowly plebes in construction their matching orders from atop their golden towers as they sip their coffee

It also means when the economy tanks they're the first to get jettisoned for younger engineers that are easier to exploit lol

one of the libertarians i work with is even a vet and still bitches about the government spending money

like he'll get himself up on a tear tryin to lecture to the junior engineers about whatever bullshit has popped into his idiot head and eventually just get himself laughed at since we're literally paid by the government to design public infrastructure


we get along ok tho my thing lately has been to tell him that i enjoy paying taxes because i'm proud of my duty to society which he finds really funny

they've coasted from middle class to "upper middle class" and they think class mobility is real because a white guy born to two parents making ~$60k each grew up to make $80k a year right out of the college his parents paid for

quote:

Because only one staffer, Hope Hicks, was in Trump’s interview, others were left to hurriedly transcribe a tape recording of the meeting after the fact — just so they could know what the president had said. Others rushed to talk to Hicks in the West Wing. “Only Hope really knew,” said one senior administration official. “Everyone else was in the dark.”

lol

quote:

Aides say Trump has no immediate plans to fire Mueller but often fumes about him, his team and where his investigation could lead. Trump told The Times that he believed it would be “a violation” for Mueller to look at his family’s financial dealings beyond anything involving Russia, for example. A spokesman for Mueller declined to comment.

Rosenstein isn’t someone the president often mentions, one official said, but “it’s not like he is close with him.”

Trump has blamed Sessions for much of the mess he now finds himself in and sees the recusal as a pivotal moment in his presidency, advisers and aides say. And he thinks Sessions hasn't always presented himself well in public. The top campaign adviser is no longer in the inner circle.

Guilty as gently caress.


quote:

Trump did not consult before the interview with his lawyers, who weren’t aware that he was going to be talking about the investigation extensively, according to a person close to the legal team. He didn’t prepare answers with top aides, some of whom were unaware he had been in such a lengthy interview with The New York Times.

lmaoooooo






Edit: I almost don't care how much Trump dick the NYT has to suck as long as they keep getting him to do this.

That's fantastic. It's not the hardened criminals this is even designed to appeal to. It's the extremely poor petty criminals with short sentences who don't want to lose their jobs because they can't make bail. Plea guilty and get a vasectomy to not have your life ruined.

e: And I'm sure you'll still have court costs and parole to deal with.

the acronym "STEM" has obscured a lot of differences between those four fields tho

science (excluding medicine) and math are more well-balanced educations on average than tech and engineering

another reason why STEM guys become insufferable libertarians is that they grow up setting up local networks and doing basic ops stuff that gives them the impression they're problem solvers and "know how complicated things work"
