So I am applying for jobs and there is this company i stumbled upon...in their job application they literally ask you for your grades in school. They require you have a Bachelors degree btw. So what the fuck? And they also require you to justify why your grades are low if they are low. Bitch I am in my mid 20s with a degree, why tf my school grades matter? it is called "Canonical" and you can see the application on their website btw. Fucking idiots.

No, OP is correct - they literally ask for high school grades and then ask you to justify them.

[–] CorrectAlias@piefed.blahaj.zone 20 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Wild, that's a crazy red flag imo. Why would my specific grades from that long ago matter now? I can't even remember much of high school, especially not my grades.

Fuck Canonical tbh

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ok yeah that's insane

[–] Viceversa@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Why did you assert they don't ask about grades?

How did you perform in your native language in high school?

I can't think of a question that translates its stupidity perfectly to every fucking language and culture on the planet. Newsflash, native speakers speak their native language natively. What the fuck are they thinking?

I can tell this question came from a non-native speaker too because it uses "at" instead of "in". At least as far as American English is concerned, you would use "in." British English, can't say, but I assume they call it secondary school, not high school.

But did you diagram sentences correctly, can you tell a noun from a verb?

You might be able to speak the language, but the school class is about understanding the structure of the language

[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.earth 1 points 2 weeks ago

I guess that's a valid way to read their question, but why just that class? Why single out language studies specifically, as opposed to mathematics, history, the sciences, etc? And we're still several layers deep in the rabbit hole asking those questions, when we have no good answer for why any of the high school classes are relevant to employment.
