The multiple times that Rackspace kept contacting me to interview for “Sr. Unix/Linux Administrator” type jobs, where “senior” meant someone with more than two years of experience? Whereas I have more years of experience in the business than their CTO or their CEO? When you say “senior” is two years, how do you deal with someone who has been in the business for over 30 years?
Where every question they asked me in the phone interview was wrong, and so it wasn’t possible for me to give the “right” answer because it was also wrong?
That slapstick comedy ended when I somehow managed to connect with their Director of HR, and he paid for my lunch while I told him and his assistant everything that was wrong with the approach Rackspace was taking towards hiring. And he agreed with everything I said. A couple months later, and he was gone, too.
At least they haven’t bothered me recently.
