Alcohol is a powerful drug. It's a little weird to put that expectation out there, that your future employees will drink beer with you. I drink alcohol occasionally in the absence of better drugs, but still, I'd probably choose not to apply to a company on the basis of that comment (and also because I don't want to be expected to socialize with coworkers).
- mod 9y agoWell that's probably a good filter, then. They obviously want to socialize.
- 3131s 9y agoThere are other people that want to socialize and not drink though.
- VirtruTyler 9y agoYou're absolutely right, and those people are more than welcome to apply as well. If our posting implies that drinking beers with your fellow engineers is a hard requirement then that was a mistake on our part. Your personal preferences, though, are a wonderful example of just how lucky you and I are to work in this industry; Our skills are so sought after, that we have an abundance of options available to us to find that exact right fit. Maybe Virtru isn't the ideal place for you to work, but I'm certain there are an abundance of places where you'd feel right at home. Anyway, I genuinely appreciate the feedback and I'll pass it on to those responsible for our job postings to see if they'd like to make any changes. Take care!
