leper khan posted:I've never understood this. what benefit is derived from having someone interview for you? my manager actually explained this to me once. apparently it's surprisingly common, especially for contract positions. the end goal is to bullshit your way through a few months while learning at least a little bit on the job, then later be able to put down that you have "experience" when applying for your next job. apparently he's had a couple people outright confess to it when they try a webcam interview.

ThePeavstenator posted:I'm still stuck on how a skills test is more racist than literally any other part of the hiring process. no you see clearly the part which has an objectively correct or incorrect answer has more room for discrimination than the part where they just talk to you for like 20 minutes and make a gut call on whether or not to move forward.

"yeah...we only communicate 'face-to-face.' that's totally the reason we haven't been bothering to email/call in that rear end in a top hat who won't come into the office. because we don't do that here, and not because we all generally don't like him or really consider him part of the company. it's because we just have such a weird culture and have never heard of this 'electronic-mail' stuff at this tech company." *emails all coworkers to complain about that useless piece of poo poo again*

cis autodrag posted:is India one of those places with a food culture thdt requires you to eat super loud? there's a couple guys who sit near me that eat so loud they can't just be not closing their mouths, it has to be that they're deliberately being noisy. it drives me insane. i think eating at your desk is really bad etiquette in a shared space, especially when you have a nonstop stream of snacks all day. all my indian coworkers eat normally (if anything they eat more politely than most people), so i guess these guys are probably just awkward idiots with no manners?

Turnquiet posted:you know what sucks? when you got another job lined up that was literally posted for you and the hiring manager reports to the dude who set it up for you and it will pay great figgies so you need to make sure you can pass a piss test and have to drop weed for tons of alcohol to make sure you can land it. weed has been a godsend and not drinking is cool and good piss tests are for losers, but I think you might also have kind of a serious drug/alcohol problem.

it's probably because it would be a giant pain in the rear end for them to move hqs, so mountainview can just tell them to gently caress off and they can't really do much about it other than offer increasingly large bribes
