A ticket came in.

CX is inquiring regarding getting a job with the company.

Somehow this went up to the second level of escalations before someone said, what in the actual gently caress?

Our new call center is astonishingly awful. They've been distributing our internal phone numbers to customers to the point that my VP has gotten involved and it's not getting any better.

The machine is yourself, as you will soon realise. What might get on a fan that would result in it needing to be cleaned? Possibly at high velocity.

So here's the fun (horrible) scenario - client with contract who turns out is riding the line of what is/isn't CP (calls them naturalist videos), has been charged by police in the past and beat the charges in court.

Want to see your lawyer sweat under pressure?

Courts already defined it as not CP (even though it blatently was), so you can't use that as an out to cancel the contracts.

The silver lining: he finally stepped over the line publicly, cops got to charge him, and couldn't believe it when they found he was running a real store and even accepted credit cards and got his international client list with real names & delivery addresses because the customers thought he found the golden loophole.

<Volmarias> – I’d love to talk to you about an opportunity at DUMB_STARTUP_NAME - the startup bridging the gap between the decentralized crypto space and traditional financial institutions - allowing people to move between the two in a quick, safe and compliant manner.

The team at DUMB_STARTUP_NAME recently raised $20M seed and are seeking a Tech Lead to design and build highly available, resilient, and performant production systems that power financial services for a large number of end-users.

Here’s a quick overview of the role:

• Wide exposure to the executive board which includes successful entrepreneurs and fintech veterans
  
• Partner with leadership in scaling the engineering team which is planning to triple this year.

I think I should get into IT recruiting. It must be nice to be able to be so completely loving awful at a job and still keep it.

I don't answer the calls and the numbers are mostly all blocked by Google already, but they still leave voicemails that I then have to listen to and delete. I'm on a Verizon prepaid plan so that means dialing in and having to wait for the auto attendant to slowly read out the drat phone number of the scammer before I can actually listen to and delete the message. So obnoxious.

I still lmao about an email at a previous job where the network manager sent out to infra and basically the rest of IT stating that all applications going forward must be ipv6 capable. In 2010. Way to be forward thinking but just lol, lmao.

I’m starting to ask in every interview if they have a diversity, equity, and inclusion statement they could send me, because I couldn’t find one on your website?

Their move.

Cock Punchers Ltd. has a strong commitment towards diversity, equity and inclusion. None of what we say is actually true, but it makes a great snippet to pass around. Did you know that one of our VPs is a minority? That's right, our COO Deepak passes well enough with us that he can be our token person of color to show how not racist we are. We also have a woman, too, I think? Or did she quit? I forget. We had the black lady from HR become our chief of Diversity. We don't actually do anything that she suggests, but it shows that we care about different, diverse voices in our community of upper class jagoffs.

I had this problem when I was looking for a new job a few years ago. Just silence from open positions that'd I'd be perfect for. Nothing for weeks.

You might be doing this already, but what I found moved the needle for me was to get one of those semantic tools where you put in your resume and the position description and it creates a matching score (like Jobscan). you can then tweak your resume to increase that score by including words/rewriting to the PD. Its total BS that you have to do this, but in the modern HR environment your resume doesn't get seen by a human until it gets through an automated system like this. I re-wrote every resume I sent out using this and it did improve my hit rate.
