  1. Re: Remote vs. on-site on Recruiters Are Still Complaining About No-Shows At Interviews (kyma.com) · · Score: 1

    I got hired at my current job after one phone interview. Of course I knew this was insane...so I waited for the call. Yep..they need another call cause three departments were fighting over me and they needed to figure out where I would best fit. Hiring and employee movement are brisk right now but solid people are hard to find.

    Yeah... That shit is going on as well. Companies treat recruiters like shit...which is how they will treat employees when it comes down to it. Recruiters are sick of these dumbass hiring managers more than we ever will be. It's a total rat fucking.

    Nah. If I get to an interview and the person is not intimately knowledgeable about my work history and projects, ready to ask real questions, that company gets dinged And the recruiter gets dinged for sending me on some bullshit fast-food-style interview.

    You have about as much of a right to vote as you have a mandate to vote.

    Thank all goodness neither is true because you can't fix stupid.

    "Now you need a college degree to reboot windows PCs and occasionally troubleshoot a TCP/IP issue."

    I'm laughing cause I have seen this a lot. Literally tens of thousands of people with $50k of student loan debt who reboot servers or admin Office 365 for a living. They will be paying on that shit for twenty years.

    Being a unicorn really only means you can do different jobs...but no more than one at a time. Most of the time a company can't pull thier head out of their ass long enough to keep me busy on one thing let alone exploit all of my talents. It is nice that when I get bored I can coordinate my next move behind the scenes because so many people are willing to bring me in on thier team.

    Lost me at the beginning of your second stupid paragraph. You will never convince enough people to alter behavior in any appreciaable way. Switch gears.

    Scientists. They are desperate for money cause they produce fucking nothing. Industry is awash in money because they produce stuff people need.

    Ocean turns out far more green house gases than we ever could hope to. Phase of natural warming causes and combines with methane release from the ocean and ice sequestered carbon. Your little tailpipe boogie man is not the problem. Leave people alone.

    I'll never get over AL Gore's $20,000 a month energy bill for his mansion. What a fucking douche. The Nobel prize is trash. In one swoop they award the peace prize to a war a president who oversaw the worst escalation of world strife, directly resulting from his policies and to another mainstream politician who rode the curtail of environmental fear mongering to gain control over people while he sucked down enough gas, coal, electricity to power 100 wasteful American families for a year.

    Hell.... Twenty years ago flight Sims were near perfect. I learned how to trim out a small plane even going so far as to land a Cessna without incident many times. I also learned I had no business in the cockpit of a large passenger jet. Those require a lot of instrumentation at your workstation to really learn anything.
