Today's Pet Peeve

Your sentence structure is somewhat confusing and seeing as how I didn't mention a Masters degree or 5 years experience or what pay level we're offering, your entire post is pretty pointless.
 
It's a pet peeve thread, it's one of his pet peeves. :D

Here's another (related to hiring):

HR Cat: "What's the least amount of money you're willing to take for this job?"
Me: "What am I worth to you?"
H: "Stop playing games... what are you willing to take for this job?"
Me: "I know you have a requisition out for this position and I know there's a salary bracket. Tell me what you're willing to pay me and I'll tell you if that's sufficient or not."

She wouldn't budge. I walked. Job sucked anyways.

Been there, done that. Hate that shit. The ball isn't in the jobseeker's court when it comes to salary negotiation. It's really up to the company to decide what they're willing to pay and that shouldn't be such a friggin' secret. Stop screwing with people just to get resumes! :twofinger

No, you do know. Or a smart person would know. If an ad asks for a specific no. of years doing specific paralegal duties, someone from Best Buy has zero chance of being hired. Zero.

after seeing years of qualifications requested that are ridiculously specific or completely impossible, as well as seeing people hired even without coming very close to meeting those MQs, its no surprise people send anyway.

A qualification written by some beancounter or HR moonbat who has no clue? unpossible! "We *have* to have an admin with 30 years Linux experience and at least 15 years managing Hadoop clusters. Fusion and impulse reactor experience a plus. Veterans of the Psychic Wars receive preference"
 
Can we please stop with the cutsie Semper Fi rhyming mockery things? How it is possible that there's anyone left that still thinks it's funny/meaningful/whatever?

people that respond to job postings they're ENTIRELY unqualified for. We are only asking for a minimum of 2 years (paralegal) experience yet I get newly certified paralegals whose last job was at Best Buy. I get the economy is bad and people are desperate but why bother when you're not even remotely qualified?? :rant

On that note... I actually just got a job that required a degree.... I don't have one. :p


When you ask for change to buy food.... Don't decline my food offering with a bitter face.
 
Lazy assholes who leave shopping carts all over the damn parking lot and in the middle of otherwise empty spaces! :mad
 
When MS Word won't format the way I need it to, for no good reason at all. Remove all of the formatting and reformat, cut and paste into a new document, use the format painter...nothing works. Wind up retyping a bunch of shit. Fucking Bill Gates.

On that note, how about people that feel the need to block the entire isle as they wait for a parking spot (move the fuck over Rover).

And to top that, how about the person that see's you want the parking spot but won't leave until you move past (aka dick-head-dicks).

Smokers not 'airing out' before coming back inside. My cube is by a door at work that they like to us now because they got busted for leaving a side door wedged open which is a violation of our security policy. For the last two weeks my cube has reeked of cigarette smoke and it's bad enough tonight it's caused me to start wheezing.
:mad

As a note, I work graveyard so usually people have been out of the office for 6-8 hours before I come in.
 
HOA's that refuse to do anything to maintain the property, then have the nerve to hand out parking citations.

I'm replacing 2 exterior load bearing walls on a 20yr old property because of termites. They are refusing to do any termite treatments and repairs. But the HOA president is running around ticketing people's cars when they park behind their garage to unload groceries.
 
anyone who cannot or will not list the actual asking price of their item on CL or Auto trader or wherever.

If I can't afford a $10K truck, listing it for $1 isn't gonna change that, but clog up my searches. And I'm not gonna "call for pricing" if it's nowhere near my available budget. Especially if they're gonna complain about "wasting time" and "lowballers". Don't wanna hear $10K for what you hope is worth $25K? List it for $25K.
 
fucking fucktard dipshit beyond asshat lane hogging no registration paying bicycle riders who contribute to, and with glee, traffic conditions contrary to the flow and goodness of all who share the road, and should have their spokes sticked, and whilst digesting their own bloody teeth from contact with our god The Asphalt they have so defiled with their behavior, have their bums properly Zefal'd with their own tire pumps, and thus giving them the 'special' attention they so obviously crave.:thumbup

Well I can tell you from being the hiring manager, those resumes go directly into a "no" folder, regardless of their other experience. If we aren't looking to hire a first year, we aren't looking to hire a first year. Plain and simple.

I couldn't do that job, and I think there are a lot of inefficiencies built into data based HR.
