They asked me to rate whether I was comfortable around the opposite sex and if I was lonely etc. If it's not okay to ask in person, then sticking it in some sterile internet questionnaire is equally not okay. the way I see it, doing one of those personality tests only hurts you like they're not going to offer you the job based on your stellar personality, so you can only hurt yourself by taking it this is the interview version of "don't talk to police"

When im working hard touching computers i often end up on SO as everyone else. This popped up from a related part of the network: https://workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/149386/why-is-it-so-acceptable-for-software-engineers-to-job-hop-im-tired-of-constant Worlds greatest recruiter/ Manager extraordinaire posted:Basically how did it become acceptable for software engineers to always be job switching? I am a recruiter for my company of about 250 and we employ 15 software engineers. Half my time is spent replacing them. Only one of them has been at my company for more than a year and he is the lead. The average tenure at the moment is 5 months. I think I'll be the refusal to evaluate employees because we use Scrum.

gently caress what they pay. Anyone of those points in a vacuum is enough to nope the gently caress out. Combine it with the fact that 15/250 people means no one knows poo poo about software development.

they left a comment on one of the answersquote:Our niche is trying to be people's 2nd dev job, so our pitch is mostly to people inclined to quit. We don't hire juniors as then the more experienced people quit if they are forced to deal with them. So everyone we hire is poached from somewhere or applied to the posting. And then we basically take what we can get. get a load of this brain genious over here

my favorite part of articles that describe this kind of phenomena will always open with 'let's put compensation to the side because of course you're paying them enough' and then entirely focuses on all the other aspects that are important. that then because so little attention was paid to compensation that clearly means money isn't that important and the employees should be more grateful for the things we're doing for them

or seeing boards meant for hr/management address these questions and instead of being yelled at like they are on stack overflow they all circle jerk over how studies say MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING as if they're trying to convince themselves that stiffing their employees is not only an option but the preferable one

there's certain companies that people who are desperate to quit wherever they are end up at, walmart.com is a big one around here, I know so many people who were there for a year or less just to regroup from a really bad job. I think they just have a really streamlined process and will take a chance on someone who seems pretty good there's 90 listings on indeed for them right now

a few links from that so post i found an article that's 100% concentrated Rich White Boomer: https://digiday.com/marketing/wtf-millennials-dealing-with-agencies-newest-generation/ quote:The other side of this thirst for young talent is a familiar one to anyone in business: the newest generation of workers often seems, well, different from other generations. Much has been made of the millennials. They’re confident. They’re optimistic. They’re an ADD generation. They’re suffering from separation anxiety after having spent their early years receiving the constant attention of helicopter parenting and winning trophies for finishing in 16th place. They have been told they’re the best, and their opinion is equal to anyone else’s, even those far older and more experienced than them.

isnt one of the conditions for most freeware that it cannot be used in an enterprise context (i.e. making money from it) The Workplace is great because just as PIZZA.BAT said its always expert managers who dont understand why the hell all the theory they know just does not work even though they learned it from Harvard Business Review (ask me about being forwarded links to the most inane HBR articles from my boss' boss)

lol this site is a fuckin trip quote:Digiday, a division of Digiday Media, takes a global view of the media and marketing industries and confronts the truths in technology’s disruption of these industries. Digiday connects with its audience across web, email, podcasts, a quarterly magazine, a membership program and in-person events.  he's not even trying to pretend that these are anything but bought and paid for really precious that he's talking about consolation trophies in his article
