“We opened a position in response to feedback from the person whose former role you’re interviewing for.”
“You increased staffing?”
“No. We created an opening in response to their feedback.”
He fed us a suggestion, then we kicked his back.
We politely asked him not to leave an ass print on the door on his way out, because we’re a family here.
“We fixed the glitch”
They promoted that former person to customer.
“Employees were complaining about low morale. So we threw them a mandatory after work pizza party for team building! It was a real hit, almost everyone showed up!”
“It wasn’t even paid. They just really wanted
their jobpizza.”Pizza papers over a multitude of sins.
What’s studdering? Something to do with breeding animals, I assume?
I think they mean if they put on an eye piece and start repairing a watch in front of you. Happened to me so many times.
Ahhh - thanks for the excellent explanation, my fellow simian!
Ape alone… weak. Apes together… talk shit on internet
Amen, brother!
Kinda feels weird to say considering I’m atheist…
Moass when?
Seeing this picture just made me more grateful for the job I have. Things might suck sometimes, but at least I’m not hunched over a table using tweezers to hand-thread watch studs.
More power to those who can do it, there’s probably a calm satisfaction to be gained. But man, it looks tedious.
Its when a group of students are studying particularly hard
Must be difficult for them to study when they’re particularly hard.
Your average hiring manager for IC level employees will have no insight into that.
Add I the end of the question, “that had a positive impact on you” they’re an employee too afterall
“We are actually a 3rd party responsible for finding and hiring candidates for our clients. We largely operate independently from the company.”
That too is an insight into the company.
“studdering”?? I wish I could afford that
I think we put in speed bumps a few years ago due to an employee complaint about speeding. I hate whoever suggested that. Not because people weren’t speeding/ riding tails, but now half the people drive 10 MPH going over 20 MPH speed bumps.
In reality we’ve had a lot of good things due to suggestions over the years.
Speed bumps now are designed to make SUVs do 20. I don’t have an SUV, I can’t do 20 over them!
It’s actually the big trucks and jeeps that take them the slowest, or the stupidly lowered cars. I take them fine in a crossover and have coworkers that do fine in priuses and other sedans.
Meanwhile in my jeep, “what speedbumps?”
It’s almost as if speedbumps are stupid. If they really wanted to address speeding traffic calming designs would have done it better and been prettier to look at.
You’re right. We should replace them with an automatic speed camera hooked up to automatic machine guns.
I swear jeeps and other “off road” vehicles take them the slowest.
Speed bumps are designed? In my neighborhood I’d swear they’re just eye-balling it.
Those surveys are just theatre is what I want to hear.
This would a funny question at my work.
You want a change? Scope it and present at the sprint planning. If it makes sense it gets built.
Happens multiple times every 2-3 weeks.
But that’s a code change, that’s like saying “we changed the products from being in the back to being on the shelves”.
Do you also change your process? Do you divide the work differently? Did you hire a new person to take care of those tasks that are never prioritized and then suddenly become emergency fixes?
Depends on the scope! To stick with your analogy, there’s currently a product you need to drive around to the back of the store, load in your truck, and assemble at home.
There will be a new area in the store dedicated to that product 95% assembled, with people who need to be knowledgeable on 5% that customers need to do.
Kinda clumsy I know, maybe I’m missing the point of the post.
I gathered that your earlier comment’s wording implied your primary work was in computer programming, so the responder assumed the kinds of changes you were talking about were normal changes to the product/code, as opposed to operational changes within the company. What you described sounds like it does appropriately qualify for the “operational” category.
does the bathroom have a good fart fan
Or at least an air freshener…
Cue the LinkedIn lunatic ranting that employment candidates asking critical questions of hiring organizations are a cancer on all industries.
If they don’t answer with the STAR method I am walking
whats the STAR method?
Situation, Task, Action, Result.
A basic guideline for answering questions with some degree of completeness.
Specifically its for answering behavioural interview questions which go “tell be about a time you did X and what happened as a result?”
It will ensure you don’t get hired is all it will do.
I would ask if they would rather an employee who is skilled and will do fair work for fair pay or if they want someone who will say anything to get paid.
If you don’t need the money right now, you can dodge bullets.
Yes they want someone who will just follow instructions. A 50% productive employee for 10 years is better than a 100% productive employee for 2 in the eyes of capitalism
What does ‘studdering’ mean, could you inform me by any chance?
It’s what happens after farding and shidding.
It’s when a person can’t spelt very good.
Now I don’t want to fix the title.
Good on you for leaving it. Boosts engagement and eff em anyways.
Also, I didn’t know titles could be edited. Is it not like Reddit in that way?
Oh yes, this is delicious! I’m making a note now.
What’s a studder?
A cow that performed three miracles?
