“Some people just want to watch the world burn.”

May we choose to believe he was trying to show what one person can do? Trying to be a good example? Trying to inspire others to do the same sort of things? No? Alrighty then. Fame whore it is.

Sure. Doesn’t mean you only work that much, and usually salaried jobs are overtime-exempt in the US.

You’re^

this isn’t exactly new.... but I guess it’s nice for the NIH to underline it officially.

Reporting on the comment section. What a job.

I’m not acting like it’s that simple, I’m outright saying it is exactly that simple. It happens literally, not figuratively, all the time. Small companies hire like that because it’s easy. Large companies hire like that - near the top - because at that level, networking is king. Everyone tends to know each other.

I worked for tech company that was routinely in the Top 20 best places to work list on glassdoors jobs, etc. Candidates would interview with the entire team that they would be working with (split up in small groups over 2-3 hours). After that, we would grade them on a scoring system, and then HR would take over with…

Neutral. It’s not like we think it’s suspicious if you have no social media accounts. We don’t assume you have something to hide. There are lots of valid reasons to not want to be on social media.

IT Support person here. The only social media presence I have is LinkedIn. I don’t hate other platforms, but the activity that goes in with FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc. It’s like a bunch middle school kids that get all giddy about their latest ‘awesome selfies’. I almost feel like I’m unsulting middle school-aged…

I’ve some experience in hiring/firing at both my current job and my previous job (engineering related). Zero social media presence is almost unheard of at this point, what with linkedn/fb, but generally, if I saw that someone’s facebook profile was empty and basically devoid of activity, I didn’t see it as a negative…

5. You read lists like this, get advice about what hiring managers and people who actually control your employment are looking for, and say “Fuck that, I’m going to BE MYSELF and they’re going to see me for WHO I AM and their company is going to bend over backwards to accommodate ME because I’m doing them a favor by…

As someone who has hired people in the past, #4 is very important. We can overlook being desperate, because sometimes you are due to circumstances outside your control. Not doing your research, or not yielding the floor are both issues that appear during interviews, but at least you got an interview, and they may not…

I’m slightly right of center in some areas of my political persuasions and really left in others. I don’t know what I’d be labeled as and I usually stay the heck away from all this.

Weaker, perhaps, but more consistent with established rules/mechanics that players are familiar with. I’d consider that a win, and it seems Blizzard agrees.

Lifehacker Effect.

I’m as leftist as they come (a proper European leftist, not one of your pant-wetting American “leftists”) and I agree there’s too much bullying and shaming on Twitter from the left. Too much “reframing” of peoples views. But I’d rather face that kind of abuse any day (which is just social pressure in the end) than the…

In the toaster. Put frozen slices straight in the toaster. Yummy and quick.

Ya know I never looked at it that way and it makes a hilarious amount of sense.
