Pet peeves that should be pet peeves

Definitely always double check on the teams window before I burp. Dont need to be that guy haha.

Seems like its getting better over time as they improve teams. Back when we used Skype it was perfect so hopefully it gets there over time.

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

This one grind my gears as more and more people are coming back to the office.
But its nearly impossible to have a nice relaxing morning poop anymore.

Some dickhead who drinks too much coffee or eats like shit always comes running in and explodes their asshole while I try to read my nice morning article now.
Its close to 80% of the time.

Savages.

Bring it up with HR. It's your office's fault for not having a one pooper per bathroom policy.

It's bullshit that you have to prove you're qualified when applying for jobs. You need to hire someone, and given enough time I'll probably be able to figure out how to do it. That should be good enough.

I had a 90minute technical skills interview before even getting to the 60minute HR interview...

I had to leave what amounts to a series of voicemails. I was allowed 30 seconds to read the question, and then 4 minutes to record a video of me answering. 9 questions total. I don't know how to talk that long with no feedback. I hate having to talk to some HR person that has no idea what a job actually is outside of their office. Just let me talk to the guy I'd be working for.

I had another one of these not-a-real-interview interviews, and I'm looking at the text right now and it says "what is the minimum hourly rate you would be willing to accept?" I'm not getting into an auction with myself. Just start off paying me whatever you paid the last guy, and then we'll go from there.

“What’s the maximum hourly rate you’re willing to pay me?”

I just wrote back that I didn't know how to answer that, and that was the last I heard from them. I should have said $15 because then maybe I would have been able to talk to a human. I don't know how you're supposed to know what a job should pay when it takes place in a building you've never been inside.

Write $1/hr if you don't have an accurate guess. I think zero would break the software, but that might start a conversation, which is what you really need.

It's tough being a man. If I was a girl I'd be out buying webcams and setting up an OnlyFans channel on my 18th birthday. Instead I have to go through life the hard way.

[ercchry]

Constantly reminding co-workers about the same god damn fucking policies over and over again... they get offended, but I keep catching them breaking them! If you just fucking stopped then I wouldn’t have to keep saying it!

With Covid and the Calgary economy, employers are having a hard time with labour price discovery. This is them trying to figure it out. Helping them with data points and opening that discussion transparently, might be the best route.

Yeah that could be but it's for Goodyear and I think at this point they have to have figured out what it's worth to make a tire.

If Goodyear asked you this question, that's all I need to know. I shall not forget this and I will not buy a Goodyear tire for my remaining decades on earth.
While I'm not going to collapse their company, I do happen to currently own 40 tires. Zero will be replaced by Goodyear.

I literally hate having to dumb down my resume to apply for jobs. Im very much over qualified, so I have to edit each application, since very, very few companies would want me and my credentials since their logic is "i will leave as soon as something better comes along", no I won't I just need something part time since my work is part time, and I could use the additional income.

First world problems to be sure.

Thanks man. Although we probably shouldn't dismiss the idea that they might be so impressed that they're clearing a path to management for me. I'd say based on my application and that interview there's a 40-45% chance I'm on my way to Akron.

It's just such a needless method to discover something that's not hard to discover. And, its motivation is more about slave ownership and terrible work culture than a sustainable manner of keeping labour costs low while retaining employees.
