Slashdot Mirror
Interviewing Your Future Boss?
crimethinker asks: "I am an embedded systems engineer for a small division of a large company. Up to now, we have managed to get by with little more than a 'team lead' position, but as our division grows, they are looking to hire a full-on engineering manager. I was one of the candidates, with my current boss's favorable recommendation, but I withdrew my resume when they told me the job was all paper and schedules; I'd never touch code or hardware again. Now the VP has a 'short list' of candidates, and has invited me to be one of the interviewers. Yes, you read that correctly: I will be interviewing the person who will become my boss. So, I put the question to you, Slashdot: what questions should I ask my prospective boss?"
Is it any wonder people think Linux users are a bunch of flaming homosexuals when its fronted by obviously gay losers like these?! BSD has a mascot who leaves us in no doubt that this is the OS for real men! If Linux had more hot chicks and gorgeous babes then maybe it would be able to compete with BSD! Hell this girl should be a model!
Linux is a joke as long as it continues to lack sexy girls like her! I mean just look at this girl! Doesn't she excite you? I know this little hottie puts me in need of a cold shower! This guy looks like he is about to cream his pants standing next to such a fox. As you can see, no man can resist this sexy little minx. Don't you wish the guy in this pic was you? Are you telling me you wouldn't like to get your hands on this ass?! Wouldn't this just make your Christmas?! Yes doctor, this uber babe definitely gets my pulse racing! Oh how I envy the lucky girl in this shot! Linux has nothing that can possibly compete. Come on, you must admit she is better than an overweight penguin or a gay looking goat! Wouldn't this be more liklely to influence your choice of OS?
With sexy chicks like the lovely Ceren you could have people queuing up to buy open source products. Could you really refuse to buy a copy of BSD if she told you to? Personally I know I would give my right arm to get this close to such a divine beauty!
Don't be a fag! Join the campaign for more cute open source babes today!

Resign from your current position and get on with developing free open source software. I've heard that's the future, and that by doing so you will also receive the best recommendations from /., the community (and its pets) and the piracy-master EFF as well, which IMHO counts a lot.
How do you prefer to receive feedback from your employees?
This is funny. There are good people looking for jobs out there and here you are sleeping at your frigging desk. If I were your boss I'd fire you in an instant .
I'm stupid because I won't pay a guy to sleep at his desk? Get a life, fool.
Sure, at some places that might be true, but being a good boss isn't about forcing people, it's about understanding them and helping them do a good job.
Psychobabble. Can I get you a binkie for your nappy, svanstrom?
You people need a swift kick in the balls and a healthy dose of cold, hard reality.
What do you think you are, an artist? Programming is the process assembling bits and pieces designed by engineers. Programmers shouldn't have any thinking to do, they are just trained monkeys typing some code all day. If you feel the need to take a 30 minutes nap during work hours, you can kiss your job goodbye to India, don't think you are indispensable.
