I think Mayonnaise Crew will be the name of my ill fated hip hop dance group.

All middle age, overweight white guys.

@Deebaser‌ I think what you're maybe missing is that the "company culture", which is basically the idealized vision of itself and the principles/behaviors it endorses as a means of achieving that, maybe also have unintended, negative consequences. One of those being that the people in charge of hiring, tasked to find a fit for the culture, may be selecting candidates based on biases based on who they feel exemplifies those values and not hiring others because of biases.

Echo, did you make and then delete a post?

Young Harold Ramis is just so awesome.

Couscous

The hiring process at Zappos would make me rather starve to death rather than try to get a job there.

Elki

Oh, recruiters.

We can grab a quick taco after work, maybe take the bologna poney express.

Being able to show up and project competence to clients/customers is a huge part of a lot of jobs

I'd kinda love going to nights playing this kinda stuff:

I definitely wouldn't fit in, which generally doesn't bother me but the disparity might be too great..

I really hope through some magic I get to see Bill Murray while I'm in NYC. Knowing my luck I'll run into Pauley Shore or some shit

as long as it's not my company i'd rather incompetant, nice people were hired over the opposite

ideally in an employers market you should be able to find the nice competent people though

Couscous

The Whole Foods thing where they have their peers determine whether a person is hired permanently seems well-intentioned but kind of stupid unless they somehow make sure that the employees aren't going to be deciding based on some really dumb shit.

they aren't even nice though

they just seem nice in an interview

they're all bickering little morons, each of whom thinks he or she is the most important and hardest worker (none of them are either)

kaleedity

no one will ever believe you, though

well, one of the guys works hard

but that's because he's too dumb not too

Wife was hired to maintain and troubleshoot the Starbucks wifi networks of North America despite having no IT background. Seemed like the female department head had mainly just been excited at the prospect of hiring another woman into an IT department full of men.

I once got rejected from moving into a house for that kind of nonsense. In hindsight, I really dodged a bullet there. Much more lame when that happens at jobs, though.

I went to a concert once and Pauly Shore jumped up on the stage at one point.

That was a terrible concert, by the way.

Maybe you will get lucky, and see the long awaited showdown between Pauly S and Pauly D!

And I think that you're projecting a negative definition onto something that academically means something else. Here, I snipped a page from an old IT/PM textbook. Couldn't get all 10 points, but I assure you that none of the back six are "racial/national purity"
