"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."

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.

They promoted that former person to customer.

"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 job~~pizza."

Cue the LinkedIn lunatic ranting that employment candidates asking critical questions of hiring organizations are a cancer on all industries.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 39 points 5 days ago (4 children)

If i wanted to be jobless, sure. lol

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 35 points 5 days ago (4 children)

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.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 33 points 5 days ago (12 children)

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'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.

[–] OshagHennessey@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (11 children)

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

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.

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.

[–] PineRune@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

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.

Don't be so sure. Honestly, even if this question would have made me feel uncomfortable in the moment, I can tell you that it would elevate my opinion of any candidate I was interviewing because it's actually a very thoughtful but also important thing to consider. I actually can't recall at the moment anybody ever asking something like this in any interview I've done -- normally it's the basic stuff like "do you like working here" or "can you walk me through your typical day" kind of questions.

What's studdering? Something to do with breeding animals, I assume?

[–] ApeNo1@lemmy.world 76 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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.

Someone who studders.

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 30 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ahhh - thanks for the excellent explanation, my fellow simian!

[–] ApeNo1@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Ape alone... weak. Apes together... talk shit on internet

Your average hiring manager for IC level employees will have no insight into that.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 33 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Add I the end of the question, "that had a positive impact on you" they're an employee too afterall

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

"We are actually a 3rd party responsible for finding and hiring candidates for our clients. We largely operate independently from the company."

[–] thesystemisdown@lemmy.world 22 points 5 days ago

That too is an insight into the company.

I think we put in speed bumps a few years ago due to an employee complaint about speeding. I hate whoever suggested that. Not because people weren't speeding/ riding tails, but now half the people drive 10 MPH going over 20 MPH speed bumps.

In reality we've had a lot of good things due to suggestions over the years.

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 23 points 5 days ago (6 children)

Speed bumps now are designed to make SUVs do 20. I don't have an SUV, I can't do 20 over them!

"studdering"?? I wish I could afford that

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago

Oh yes, this is delicious! I'm making a note now.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 20 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

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?

It will ensure you don’t get hired is all it will do.

[–] Evil_Incarnate@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

What does ‘studdering’ mean, could you inform me by any chance?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 22 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Everyone's making jokes but if you're serious they meant "stuttering".

Edit: per vocabulary.com

If you've ever heard a young child stammer and trip over his words, you know what it means to stutter.

Use the verb stutter when someone gets stuck on certain word sounds, either because she's speaking too quickly or eagerly, or because she has an actual speech disorder, also called a stutter. The word itself is somewhat onomatopoeic — a word that sounds like what it means — with its repeated t sounds. Stutter is thought to be related to the Middle Low German word stoten, "to knock or strike against," which is the way a stutterer's words sometimes sound.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 16 points 4 days ago

It's what happens after farding and shidding.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 18 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

It's when a person can't spelt very good.

Now I don't want to fix the title.
