i know it's often wishful thinking but every now and again companies get sued when their hiring practices are questionable things like "skill tests" are methods to insulate companies against such things, and it's pretty pathetic when they get defended as being anything but

You have to be able to prove that they were truly hopeless even when presented with an opportunity to improve, or else you're open to unfair dismissal charges. Sounds like a great idea until you realise that people get warned and then improve and then go back to being dogshit 6 months later and the cycle repeats. lol it really must make things tough when one of your coworkers doesn't give it their all coding enterprise-grade fart apps basically you're a megachump if you care about someone else's work performance if they aren't in danger of killing someone

Lol thanks Stewie it's great that your attendance is 100% but I produce 250-300% of the end product that you do every single loving day over the course of 52 work weeks. Get hosed and gently caress the company for not paying us piece meal I loving hate it here.

yeah basically if you can't explain what you do, it's not because it's beyond the ken of mortal men, it's that you don't know how to communicate or teach properly being good at teaching is a learned skill just like anything else and if you haven't bothered to learn it, it's your problem when you can't explain things effectively to others this is one of the manifold reasons why "smartest guy in the room" syndrome runs rampant in tech, dorkuses don't bother to learn how to talk to other people and they think it's a failure on the part of others

ShadowHawk posted:I am already well aware of the conclusions people here reach about how it is immoral to provide housing. I am quite comfortable disagreeing with the lot of them, whether they're arguing that they must protect the 1950s "character" of the neighborhood, or that they are entitled to an ocean view unobstructed by housing, or that it should be illegal for two adults to share a rented bedroom. charging rent to your flopmates isn't "providing housing" no matter how much you think it is

the important thing to remember is that you know precisely how everything works after only three weeks and, being the smartest person in the room, everyone else should instantly acquiesce to your plans, no matter their level of experience or authority be sure to really drive that point home, people are always looking for a fresh perspective from a someone that's not even been there a month

zynga should do a lot of things differently, but the fact is the employees still received taxable income so it's their responsibility if it makes you feel better, you can believe the taxes are going to pay for increased oil sands drilling instead of paying for social programs

maybe the zynga employees should get together and spend more on a court case to get zynga to pay than they would have paid in taxes anyway, as a matter of principle

Janitor Prime posted:I'm actually indignified that even though you trust your taxes are being withheld by the company you're still held responsible for their fuckups. I mean it ultimately boils down to "the indignity of paying taxes" like you said, but there's no reason it needs to be this stupid and having the government go after that money from the individuals when it should have been the company's responsibility and obligation to collect. then let's not frame this as anything other than a bookkeeping mixup and not some sort of inconceivable injustice of biblical proportions taxes didn't get paid, and now they're going to get paid, the timing may be inconvenient but that's the worst than can be said about it
