And yet one can still find it hilarious, as I do, without condoning it or recommending that others do it as well.

- __derek__ 10y agoAgreed. It struck me as a more humane (yet less hilarious) version of Missing Missy.[1] [1]: http://www.27bslash6.com/missy.html http://www.27bslash6.com/missy.html
- mikestew 10y agoThough "Missing Missy" is arguably a bit inhumane, OTOH, even if you can't use Word or summat to make a poster there's always good ol' literal cut-and-paste. Even a six year old could do it. Of course, as there were probably no six year olds around the office, it's easier to put the burden on someone else (bonus for: "...and I have to leave, so here's a hard deadline to do work you're not paid for.") Which I think was the whole point of the exercise. As for this writing, he responds more politely than I do when someone sends a req for something 3000 miles away on a tech stack I've never even seen, let alone put on my resume.
- __derek__ 10y agoIndeed. There's an argument to be made that asking someone to do unpaid work is inhumane (depending on the context). Personally, I put thought into my replies commensurate with the recruiter's message. Even if I'm uninterested, a thoughtful message deserves a similar reply.
