I think you're being overly negative.
Nobody is forcing anyone to go to these things. If you have other stuff to do, fine. If, like some people, you actually enjoy it, you can go. Maybe you even have an understanding husband/wife who understands that once in a while you might be out as late as 11:45pm
- Chris2048 11y agoMaybe if you don't go you'll be fired to make way for someone more passionate?
- stuxnet79 11y agoThis is just it. The goal posts are always being moved. Hiring is a farce at this point, and I get sick of these recruiters / employers pontificating about this "passion" nonsense.
- aedron 11y agoI agree that we shouldn't always be so quick to judge, but my sibling posters have a point. How about the company throws this "hackathon" during company time? That would demonstrate commitment towards whatever the event is supposed to achieve.
- kamens 11y agoThat's exactly what we did. We committed an entire week of company time to our hackathon. People can stay late if they so choose. Many did not and made amazing things thanks to the commitment by KA to use company time.
- aedron 11y agoAh, that is cool, I would love to work at a place like that. And I am 100% sure you unleash a lot of creativity and ideas this way.
