  • Those “headhunters” in India are nearly entirely useless anyway so I don’t even bother responding to them anymore… Especially if they aren’t going to include salary ranges.

    Recruiting in general needs a fundamental overhaul. People should not be recruiting at all for positions that they themselves have zero experience in. If IT recruiters, for example, were all former IT staff then we’d have a much higher quality pool of applicants since the recruiters would actually know what to look for and what questions to ask for a change.




  • There was a time when I would have jumped at the chance to work for one of these companies.

    Hell, I even interviewed with Google 17 years ago (for a position that I was thoroughly overqualified for).

    But, these days I don’t think they could offer me enough money to convince me it would be worth it… Unless there was a HUGE upfront signing bonus that wouldn’t need to be repaid no matter what happens.

    They’re shooting themselves in the foot by drastically reducing the talent pool available to them.

    It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see how it works out for them.

    How about instead of worrying about making it more popular we concentrate on making it better?

    Eliminate all the shitty worthless content and spammy replies that people brought over with them from the shit hole that shall not be named and focus our efforts on creating quality content that users (particularly the ones that are already here) actually enjoy and engage with.

    That’s my two cents on it anyway.


  • I don’t allow automatic updates for apps because I’ve seen updates break things that were entirely functional too many times so now I only update if something is already broken…

    So, I don’t see any of this crap either… And I do occasionally get interesting notifications from it.

    But, I’m still getting closer and closer to just ditching it every time I see crap like this.
