Quite literally.

Four loving days, not even enough time to get my bearings, and I get this poo poo.

:^|

Here's to hoping I don't ride a motorcycle across a few states to a loving couch in SF or something.

How am I supposed to loving automagically know, immediately, how a project I am touching for the first time hosed up script inclusions for datepicker :psyduck:
Why did you tell me to ask questions and collaborate?

I wasn't given a fully written one no. And it was contract to hire (cth) anyway.

...

because AWWA (the non profit) has lovely hiring practices :q:

ROFL no. I have an AA. At the end of my BSc I got a "mom got terminal cancer" dropout and just started working full time so she'd die slightly less miserably since medicare doesn't cover the poo poo that makes chemo not kill you, just chemo.

I have almost 6 years of experience :shrug:

Also this is the "offer letter"





What can I do?

Also yes their address is literally "6666"

Well since UI takes a while to come back if you take a job, even if it's 4 days, uhh, this could get me a bit evicted :smith:

I really don't need that following me around for years or stopping me from getting work because "background check"

can you apply for a line of credit or a personal loan to pay your necessary expenses while you wait for your UI check/find a job?

Considering I could squint and do Java, does that really matter? I guess learning Java build poo poo and the stream api vs .net build poo poo and linq might make someone wrinkle a nose?

I wouldn't mind python if I have to plang it up. Technically I've used node for automated JS web stuff so I've "done node,". Golang would be the bees knees. I also have a weird affection for C.

idk, maybe make a profile on StackOverflow if you don't have one yet. i've actually had pretty positive responses from mine (but no offers lol) and there seem to be a decent number of jobs in Denver on there

edit: also lying through your teeth about having family in the area works, thanks for the advice

i dont know anything about anything, but isnt the first word in "cth" pretty important? what are the terms of your contract?

i guess its probably at-will "lol we dont need a reason; get hosed" language

how long do y’all wait between when someone was supposed to get back to you and a follow up? recruiter was supposed to get back to me Friday with some details she didn’t have at the time but nothing. don’t want to just immediately harass, but I kinda need to know the answers.

in this scenario i’d maybe send an email at eod monday? if you need the info you need the info. everyone can get a little behind but if you had time to catch up on stuff over the weekend and it still didnt get done first thing monday, i am gonna poke you. thats my general feeling and not just with recruiters tho.

The gently caress

sometimes I think companies are too big for their britches. they think they’re hot poo poo who only want to hire the best but really, by and large they’re useless gits who can’t tell their rear end from a home in the ground

and then they turn around and get mad when they can’t find a “perfect pick” and the closest ones to that are missing X technology or have Y-2 years of experience

it’d be a seller’s market if companies weren’t rip-poo poo stupid, as it is now we have to beg for table scraps from idiot startups who barely make enough to cover the electric bills
