at my job the amount of visible liquor bottles in the building has correlated strongly with how frustrating the current working conditions are

we mostly use empty liquor bottles as trophies of past successes (signed by people involved) and full liquor bottles as indications placeholders for future celebrations

Regarding drinks at the workplace -- I think if I saw that my first reaction would be to suspect a super toxic working environment. I've only seen one place/department where there were drinks at work. That was a particular lab at the uni where I worked. They'd get out drinks for their lab meetings. Even if you were a guest you'd be given the 'are you a sissy or what' look if you declined. Bar one or two people it was an almost completely male lab, too, in a field that enjoys a pretty even gender split. The employed the only people who I've ever witnessed firing off pissed (active-) aggressive emails at each other. That is, postdocs writing each other emails about what rear end-kissing cocksuckers they are, while putting the neighboring labs, supervisors, grant coordinators and so forth in the cc (those were people in their mid-thirties). The idea of super relaxed, buddy-buddy party labs turned stale really fast after meeting them. Maybe I'll have the pleasure of being convinced otherwise at some point.

People smarter than me" posted:
I wish I had found these questions earlier because they would have been super helpful. Gonna bookmark the thread now. prisoner of waffles posted:yeah, who is hiring these phds and setting the boundaries and expectations for them such that they have the problem they are describing qhat posted:If they actually said that, then lol, the PhDs aren't the problem. At the time of the interview I more or less laughed it off. But in hindsight it's really unprofessional, dumb, and insulting. They were acting like every single one of their developers and scientists was Dr. Sheldon Cooper IRL. That totally didn't clash with my reality that for some people, half the PhD is explaining your work to all kinds of laypeople. I mean FFS every couple of months our institute would lead school children around and give them masterclasses. I think a problem of theirs was that they must suffer from professional inbreeding. The department head recruited basically all his underlings from the faculty of math & engineering at the technical uni where he graduated himself. Funnily enough the uni and surrounding town is a hot spot for autism diagnoses. So maybe that's why they expected everyone to be Sheldon Cooper? But then, why on Earth would you intentionally get your people all from the same few departments, that's super dumb? I dunno, in hindsight everything about that company was a red flag, but I was very curious I guess.

good question to ask during an interview

Ciaphas posted:meh, two more "sorry-not-sorry"s from companies i had an inside referral at, and now i'm out of potential employers with refs Your resume is highly likely in need of review if you're literally not getting any callbacks. I see bad resumes all the time and if I'm not hooked within 30 seconds, sometimes less if it's particularly lovely, then it's already a no. That or you're not applying to enough places.
