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

    my boss definitely hires people for things like being nice and seeming wholesome

    even though they're mostly incompetent

    Allegedly a voice of reason.

    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

  • CouscousCouscous Registered User regular
    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)

    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!

    @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.

    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"
