The Remastered Penis-Out: Now in SUHD

10/10 would not employ?

Oh man I read about your bad interview experience Inferno, that feels bad,

[Spose']

>Had job interview with Maplin
>Got asked question about printers
>Replies with "Oh not printers, I really don't like printers"

You could work IT where I work if you had the degree.

Our IT guy refuses to touch the printer.

He refuses to even change cartridges, or fix it's connection to our servers.

He would rather use part of his budget to hire another company to do it.

He's literally useless.

So went in to discuss one of my markings with the "internal moderator". He didn't even let me begin and said you're not allowed to object to your tutor's academic judgment.

If he's not gonna even listen to what I have to say and always assume the tutor is right what's the point of there being a moderator?? I tried to object and he was like "How many degrees do you have? Your tutor has 2 degrees. I'm going to believe him not you."!

That is true for all students in all universities in the world! Doesn't mean the tutor's can't ever be wrong, that's what moderators are supposed to be there for, not to just say "I blindly believe the tutor".

WTF I can't articulate how pissed I am right now.

It's hilarious at work how stuck up the engineers are just because they have degrees. Half of them have no clue what they are talking about yet are dumbfoundead when they are wrong and the lab guys who have been working here for 10-20 years know better than them.


Like, bruh, just cause you have a degree doesn't mean you are right by default.

HAVING A DEGREE MEANS HE'S BEEN THROUGH THE NINE CIRCLES OF HELL AND BACK. I'D BE VARY OF HIM IF I WERE YOU.

HAVING A DEGREE MEANS HE'S BEEN THROUGH THE NINE CIRCLES OF HELL AND BACK. I'D BE VARY OF HIM IF I WERE YOU.

I used to argue back with engineers about some of the stupid shit they say or think will fix a problem. Now I say it once, if they dispute it I mentally facepalm and watch the world burn.

Pretty much what the long time lab guys do. Hell, one of them is heavily relied on by engineering, has a finamce degree (he would get paid 2x-3x as much as he get paid now if he actually got a finance job), applied to be chem analyst, a roll he was filling in while it was open for applications.

Dispite working here for 10 years, being heavily relied on by some engineers for his department, and being the go to guy for anythong anodize related, they denied hom the job onstantly because he didn't have an engineering degree.

Loke, fuck. That's becoming a huge problem IMO. People with degrees seem to want to make certain rolls the exclusive club for others like them even if someone without one has the experience to fulfill the roll better than someone fresh from college.

Oh man I read about your bad interview experience Inferno, that feels bad,

You live and you learn, I'm ok with the job I've got now for another year or two then it'll be time to move on.

Once I've got results backing up I'm doing a good job for 1 or 2 full years, I'll be happy to move onto bigger and better things.

Actually quite interested in the idea of going into mobile cleaning now.

[Tassadar]

I should have said that feels bad but I've also said some cringeworthy stuff in interviews, so I definitely know that feel.

[Inferno.]

Also how's about a 3 minute 1 to 1 interview, where I was put on a 3 minute timer on an iPhone and just told "tell me about yourself" to which I spent 2:30 minutes saying "erm"

[Tassadar]

They put you on a timer, wow.

That one doesn't sound like you did anything wrong so much as the interviewer was a lazy git.

[Tassadar]

I had an interview last year that I travelled to the other side of IReland for in one day, which is about 200km to it, then 200km back, I didn't even had a chance of getting the job since one person interviewed had already worked in the company so it was almost a given they were going to get it, I found this out later.

You shouldve just said I'm Batman.
