“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.”
“We fixed the glitch”
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.
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?”
“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.”
If i wanted to be jobless, sure. lol
Thank you.
People who post shit like this seem to think the streets are littered with such a rich variety of job offers that we can pick out the best ones like we’re shopping for avocados, completely oblivious to the fact that the vast, vast majority of us need a job right fucking now to survive, and are going to happily snag the first offer we get no matter what evil fuck it’s for.
Remember post COVID how people were quiet quitting and CEO’s were talking about how workers had too much power?
I remember.
That’s why they’re so desperate to make AI happen
I think that was before mass firings because the CEOs think that the ai will save us or at least overworked employees will that have to save the company. Trying to apply for a tech job right is terrible.
If your argument is that this is good advice, mine is that it’s only good advice for someone who has the luxury of putting it into practice.
Let me make sure my family has a home and won’t starve, and then I’ll happily join you on your quest to improve corporate culture.
No, my argument is that there is a class war and we’re losing it.
Attention, single moms working at McDonald’s: In case you were unaware, there is currently a class war going on, and according to this guy I was talking to on Lemmy, we’re losing, and it’s your fault because you chose feeding your kid over being a smart ass in the job interview.
Edit: for those of you making yourselves mad over my little splash of reality here, kindly do the following once your breathing normalizes:
-
Re-familiarize yourself with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
-
Examine your own life and circumstances and ask yourself if you’re truly the revolutionary you’re pretending to be right now.
This post was never about class war. It’s bad interview advice and that’s it. Settle down.
You’re itching for a fight, when nobody started a fight with you. I am not saying whether this is good or bad advice. I am saying that the fact that this looks like bad advice is because we are losing the class war. I am saying that I remember a time when the balance of power was different, when we temporarily had the upper hand in the class struggle due to the COVID weirdness. During that time, people were actually doing things like quiet quitting, and strong-arming employers, and that in that environment advice like the one in the meme did not come off as bad advice.
I’m describing a dynamic, not blaming workers. If I had anything to say to the «single moms wokring at McDonalds» (you did an instrumentalization there, like the «kids in Africa») that would be «hey, how can I help you folks unionize?».
Thank you for articulating your point. That’s all I needed to hear.

I’ve been there, too. I ignored warning signs because I was desperate, and then wished I hadn’t later. Saying that you will accept any job that comes your way is a good route to getting fucked over.
You might think that you need the money, but it really isn’t worth it when you lose your job a week later and your temp agency won’t answer your calls anymore. There are some crazy, toxic workplaces out there.
You’re right. Better to lick the boot. Don’t even think about saying anything that might even be slightly uncomfortable, just accept what they let you have and be happy, right? Fuckin scab
You’re talking mostly to Americans here- what else do you expect?
I’m an American. I’m kicking fascist ass every single day. And every pansy crying about how “it’s too hard” has no idea how hard things are really gonna get if they keep taking it lying down.
Unless you’re an American, and unless you’re fighting too, shut the fuck up. No one needs to hear from you.
If you were kicking fascist ass every day we’d know your name.
It behooves you to ask the interviewer some questions, too. It helps to give you an idea about whether or not you want to work there.
There were definitely times when I had a bad interview, I still got the job, and I wished that I hadn’t. Don’t ignore warning signs because you’re desperate! Sometimes it’s better to have no job at all.
For the people that can’t afford not to take the crappy job, sometimes it’s best to just take it but keep looking for something better. Not everybody has money in the bank to be picky about employment.
If nobody ever questioned anything, nothing would ever change. Be the change you want to see, and stop shitting on people for actually standing up for something.
I don’t think they’re shitting on anyone, just acknowledging that this is a very good way to not get a job
Cue the LinkedIn lunatic ranting that employment candidates asking critical questions of hiring organizations are a cancer on all industries.

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.
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.
Ahhh - thanks for the excellent explanation, my fellow simian!
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.
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?
What does ‘studdering’ mean, could you inform me by any chance?
It’s when a person can’t spelt very good.
Now I don’t want to fix the title.
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.
