Unfortunately, here on planet earth, people are not always reasonable, logical, or act in their best interests.
We must calibrate our messaging to have the intended effect. If what you’re putting out isn’t being received as intended, modulate the signal.
- sdoering 5y agoExactly. That is why such a entry in your resume works like a great filter. If I had worked in NSFW and an application would get rejected because of that I would sincerely thank my former job for saving me a job in an environment I would not want to touch with a ten foot pole. If people in (even small power) like HR drones abuse their position as to flag a resume because of such a former experience I doubt there is a company culture of honesty, openness, respect or value of the individual. To me personally a great filter to have. If one is desperately in need of a job. OK - remove it and try to jump ship once secured in the current place.
- imwillofficial 5y agoA great non-obvious take. I like it.
- wldcordeiro 5y agoGood summary of my thoughts on this, thanks for jumping!
- samhw 5y ago> If people in (even small power) like HR drones abuse their position I call this the traffic warden principle: Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. A really tiny amount of power, in one specific area of your life, corrupts even more. (Also, FWIW, it's "people in (even small) power", not "people in (even small power)".)
- toyg 5y agoTBF, that calculation is only necessary in some circumstances. Want to get into FAANG? Corporate HR is dominated by women, better clean up your act. Wanna get hired by the hot bro-startup to be single-digit-employee? No purge necessary - if anything, those blue entries will score more points.
