nah, amazon deserves to be shamed for treating people like that and it is the responsibility of people who go through those experiences to let the world know that amazon's HR practices can suck a dick

lancemantis posted:yeah id believe that i don't think it's rampant but it does happen. it happened to me: we had a contractor who gave us a fake resume and then (because the interview was remote) had someone else do the interview. the room was dark and you know, they looked similar enough that no one noticed he was a different person. things got weird on his first day when he didnt know what a text editor was. within a week he'd admitted to me that he'd faked the whole interview process and then he got canned. it was weird.

So, aside from being really unethical, couldn't you have your friend pose as some major employer "following up on a reference" in order to scare your boss into giving you a raise? "what? google said they wouldn't consult my references until I told them I was interested, this is so unprofessional."

Notorious b.s.d. posted:phoenix seems like a weird place to go for career reasons I'm currently a "full stack" ruby-dev who is very uninterested in being a ruby developer. this position would be more focused on systems engineering, not frontend, and would not involve ruby. i'd be jumping up two levels of seniority and increasing my pay by (potentially, based on the number I gave them) 50%. More realistically 30%. Also I'd be in a position where I'd be solving actual engineering problems instead of just trying to cram business nonsense into a crud layer. i realize that i'm probably imagining the job is cooler than it will be in reality, but it's absolutely going to be a big step up.

The Management posted:first decide if you want to stay or move. why did you look for a job in the first place? more money doesn't fix problems, it just lets you ignore them for a while (unless the problem was not enough money). if you stay, will you be fed up and looking for another job a year from now? thanks for this. 1) Option one is to stay where Iam. I'm really happy with my current job in many ways. I love love love my team and really like my boss. But it's a large corporation and I"m going kinda crazy with the slow pace and bureaucracy of it. I'm also underpaid, although that's changed after this recent raise. I don't feel under appreciated or over worked; I'm just bored. 2) Option two is totally ideal in every way, but it's in AZ. I thought they were gonna let me work from another office (Boston, Seattle) but they changed their mind. I turned this one down. 3) Option three is a tiny startup locally. Would be a big raise, and I'd be in a position to influence decisions. Would be working in Scala, which would keep me interested even though it's a horror show. Would also give me real world experience working in a functional lang, which is something I really want. I really liked the team, and I'd be working with much more talented people than I am currently. Which means something, honestly. I'm totally torn between staying where I am and leaving. I think leaving is the right choice, because my apathy and general frustration with working for a corporation isn't going to go away just because I've gotten a big raise. It's gonna break my boss' heart though, and mine a little. DONT THREAD ON ME fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Jan 28, 2017 |
