I save so much water since I started working from home.
I save so much water since I started working from home.
I used to interview all the time. I thought it was a fun, important process, so they kept giving them to me… until one day a candidate stormed out. We had a panel on one side of the table that had devolved into one-upping each other on who could ask the best brain teasers. Finally the candidate literally said, “Fuck this.” Then got up and walked out. HR asked us WTF and we shrugged and blew it off, but I knew why. We all knew.
Sometime after that I changed my tact into making interviews conversations to get to know each other instead. If I did send someone to a whiteboard, I always got off my ass and joined them up there. Made it a collaboration exercise and never asked any bullshit. Did that for maybe six months to a year and got some awesome people from that process…
At the end of that stretch, HR sat in on one and saw the process for the first time… sometime later I stopped being asked to interview. No reason was given, the invites just stopped coming in. We kept hiring people but I wasn’t a part of it anymore. Coincidence?
Just a wild guess: A video that you have to sit through on YouTube about a list of books to read. Probably is deeply unsettling to people who like the world to make sense.
Anyway that’s why I personally closed it once I realized it was a video link.
Esperanto.
Interacting with something consistent and deterministic while growing up in a crazy, random world. Also power. Power over my computer minions.
I’m getting so exhausted with the constant outrage in every goddamn feed in my life.
