I'm glad I'm not the only one who found it odd.
- caminante 4y agoGGP is screaming #quityourbullshit. e.g., How do you fail an MCAT? You get a score. The rest sounds like partial truth + embellishment.
- karthikk 4y agoHe is a salesman, its part of the job.
- phpthrowaway99 4y agoI mistook boards, for mcat. He obviously had a decent mcat since he got into a medical school.
- copperx 4y agoLet's hope a moderator steps in.
- phpthrowaway99 4y agoDo we really need to moderate the fact that while listing proof of how smart and good my team was, I used Jewish accountant as a descriptor? (That I only said because he constantly joked about this himself and it just stuck with me). It was included to accent a list of positives about the groups intelligence. If I had said we had a Polish mathematician, would that also need moderation? Or if describing how service oriented we were, I included an ex Catholic nun?
- phpthrowaway99 4y agoCar salespeople say a lot of culturally inappropriate things constantly to each other. The sales manager I mentioned constantly referenced himself being a Jewish accountant to us as a fun way to remind us he's good at his job. Somehow it stuck and I guess I forgot even positive stereotypes are now allowed. I have to admit, the fun banter between salespeople and even management is the #1 thing I miss these days.
- rchaud 4y ago> guess I forgot even positive stereotypes are now allowed. could have been avoided had you said something like "we had a Jewish accountant, as he often liked to remind us" or something that didn't imply that you personally attached some elevated level of job competence based on his choice of holy book(s).
- phpthrowaway99 4y agoIsn't Jewish also a race, not just a choice of holy books? When he said it I assume he meant it regarding the race, not that reading the Torah makes you better with numbers.
