Maybe it's all just good-faith poo poo like I didn't really have any info on my resume or my references sheet and I didn't have to fill out an application where you list your supervisor and their contact info. Maybe they just wanted to see that I put some effort into confirming who they were but yeah, you'd think that they either do it or they outsource that kind of data collection, not ask the applicant to track down proof that they worked somewhere

you are way more forgiving than I am, if they demanded that of me I'd probably laugh at them. employers who want to check work history (not personal references) get the first 1-800 number I find on https://www.thatcompany.com, the phone directory gauntlet is their problem.

Well I realized I had them both on LinkedIn so I offered them that, the emails they had posted publicly plus their profiles. I sent them both messages through there and the cool boss who was my pal got back to me ASAP so maybe that's all they'll need. There's gotta be a cutoff at some point and I'd think 5 years oughtta do. Maybe if I had said "there's nothing more I can do" that would be one thing, but they seemed really appreciative that I took the extra effort and sent an email like "okay, here's what I was able to track down"

I really, really need them to call me ASAP because I'm about to go into a meeting where they tell us that (as per the equity firm that bought our company's playbook) they're going to be instituting a thoroughly-debunked personality/aptitude test that will give them a "head start" on "assessing our talent for the best fit" when it comes to "salary adjustments"

Yeah they say that we'll take the test in order to build a data set that they'll use to screen new hires. Sorry new hires, you're an ENTJ and we only hire INTPs or what the gently caress ever

it started out asking how important certain qualities are to you, like honesty and hard work and then moved onto asking you if you would put honesty before hard work and poo poo like that. it probably took over an hour

But compare him to a post-Columbine shooter like Darion Aguilar, the nineteen-year-old who last year killed two people in a skate shop in a Maryland shopping mall before killing himself. Aguilar wanted to be a chef. He had a passion for plant biology. He was quiet, but not marginalized or bullied. “He was a good person. He always believe[d] in inner peace,” a friend of his told the Washington Post. “He was just a really funny guy.” In the months before the shooting, he went to a doctor, complaining of hearing voices—but his voices were, according to police, “non-specific, non-violent and really not directing him to do anything.” The kid who wants to be a chef and hears “non-specific, non-violent” voices requires a finely elaborated script in order to carry out his attack. That’s what Paton and Larkin mean: the effect of Harris and Klebold’s example was to make it possible for people with far higher thresholds—boys who would ordinarily never think of firing a weapon at their classmates—to join in the riot. Aguilar dressed up like Eric Harris. He used the same weapons as Harris. He wore a backpack like Harris’s. He hid in the changing room of the store until 11:14 A.M.—the precise time when the Columbine incident began—and then came out shooting. A few months later, Aaron Ybarra walked onto the campus of Seattle Pacific University and shot three people, one fatally. Afterward, he told police that he could never have done it without “the guidance of, of Eric Harris and Seung-Hui Cho in my head. . . .Especially, Eric Harris, he was a, oh, man he was a master of all shooters.”
