I’m three months into my new job and enjoying it. One of the company execs messaged me asking if everything was OK. He said one of his recruiter friends noticed my status on LinkedIn was set to open for work and told him at the company party over the weekend. I’m not looking to jump ship and smoothed it over (I hope) but what the gently caress. Really lovely and unprofessional behavior from the recruiter.

I’ve been told that the DoD and other US federal organizations started adopting [A|a]gile practices awhile ago and also require the same of their contractors. At my last job this manifested as micrograined jira tasks tracked to 6 minutes of resolution. You couldn’t shoot the poo poo with your team lead without a jira. It was horrible and made any experimental development impossible. We all became crank turners constantly overrunning task budgets by 50+%. To combat this they tried adopting an exponential story point system that had a wildly fluctuating definition of what a base unit of work was. Half the team left for better jobs within a year myself included. Current job does agile as well for the same reason. It’s still relatively new at this company, but it’s far more relaxed. We do stands ups, two week sprints, retrospectives, and tasks are estimated as 1 story point per day to complete. Sometimes stuff rolls over to the next sprint and no one is crying about velocity. There’s some benefits to it but it feels a bit wonky on projects that aren’t stuff like consumer facing web apps. As always, a good process won’t work if being driven by bad management.

Having worked at a company acquired by a large defense contractor then transitioned to an explicitly military focused project I had an effort post in mind the other day about the ethics and crushing corporate bureaucracy, but it can be summarized by Don't loving do it.

The article made a convincing case.

Well, there’s a good case to not hire otherwise qualified people who withhold or lie about important legal issues. Edit: unless you’re hiring executive level that is SeXTcube fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Mar 22, 2023 |

I'm sympathetic that dealing with the (assumed) US immigration system is a stressful nightmare. It's been a years long headache for my family and we're dealing with it on easy mode. Not hypothetically but in the actual situations shared here the candidate could have had the job and been sponsored before their eligibility ran out but they fumbled for no reason. They are adults and should understand their responsibilities and not expect the employer to cheekily violate immigration law for them. This wasn't a split-second decision anyone had to make under duress and they presumably had ample time to correct it even if they didn't mention it first thing. It sucks if you have to leave the country if you didn't want to, but outside of being clear on your own willingness to sponsor how can you help people that act like described?

Please evaluate how much credence you give to a complaint about communication that you’ve described as nebulous.

They probably just make every _____ Engineer position do the hacker rank despite whatever the job listing/qualifications actually say. Touching a computer? Hacker rank!
