Seemed like a decent idea.
Only if you don't think about it for more than 0.001 seconds.
This^
Even the originally stated reasons aren’t good ones.
“Someone struggling with the death of a loved one.” As if helping them pretend that death isn’t a thing is actually healthy?
“Missing children”.. yet another horrible idea. So let’s make the rest of the world think that your child is no longer missing, which would naturally cause people to be less inclined to help find them? Oh yeah that’s super helpful.
Makes no sense.
You forget that these people always sell the more long term harmful option as the best option. They say that they are anti racist while being the most racist.
I didn’t forget that. Usually, they have at least a decent (even if fallacious) selling point or set of selling points.
But in this case, the selling points put forth were in no way beneficial.
Huh , wut ?"/. Why would a company employ someone who wasn't interested in the project they were first interviewed and employed for ??
Tip for applying for any position over 100k: research the company first, have a basic understanding of the product, and be able to articulate why you are excited to work with it.
Most white collar jobs are filled with people who could fake their way through the interview and once they are in tread water just above the line of being fired.
Yep, which is why i queried the context of 'Seemed like a decent idea.' as something negative.
As a programmer, this can literally happen in a billion ways.
You get hired into one project you are incompetent so you get moved to another one. Or you are too competent, and an ambitious manager notices and requests your transfer to their department. You don’t refuse obviously because $$$.
Or your project is sunset, your team gets distributed to various projects. Your project is too successful and you have to move to a splinter project as it grows.
I have personally have been moved between like 3 or 4 projects which are as far removed from where I originally started as the new mermaids eyes are from each other.
Did you ever once tell the company 'Look man, i'm not feeling it - i dont wanna be here, this project is absolute bunk' ??
