We'll eventually get to the point where anyone willing to jump through these stupid hoops is primarily motivated by greed.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoSomeone jumping through lots of hoops to get a job is greedy? Why would that make sense?
- usrusr 3y agoI guess GP was only thinking of people that do have a job looking for greener grass. For that subset I'm inclined to agree, despite vigorously agreeing with the counter opinions in the general case.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoWhy would looking for a better job be greedy?
- usrusr 3y agoThe not so greedy might certainly be looking, but their willingness to jump through hoops would have a limit somewhere. Require a very large number of hoops to be jumped through and every single hire will be of the kind who would have zero qualms to sell your company internals to the highest bidder if given the chance.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoThis seems like you're bending over backwards to hallucinate some made up exotic scenario that has never happened. Require a very large number of hoops to be jumped through and every single hire will be of the kind who would have zero qualms to sell your company internals to the highest bidder if given the chance. What are you even talking about. What are you basing this on?
- usrusr 3y agoAre you saying that the mechanism does not exist or are you saying that it's not pushed into critical regions all that often? If it's the latter, I certainly agree that it's an area where opinions can legitimately vary a lot and I would not pick "it happens very often!" as a hill to die on. If it's the former, I vehemently disagree. At some point, everybody leaves except the terminally greedy. Perhaps that point is never reached (I doubt it, but I respect options to the opposite), but the point exists.
- CyberDildonics 2y agoAre you saying that the mechanism does not exist or are you saying that it's not pushed into critical regions all that often? I have absolute no idea what you're talking about now. everybody leaves except the terminally greedy People that stay at their jobs are "terminally greedy"? They are going to die from greed?
- usrusr 2y agoEverybody leaves during recruitment. That's what we are talking about, in particular the subset of candidates who already have a job. Make it a two year process, but at the end there's the promise of truly exceptional compensation, and you can take it as an absolute given that nobody will be left who would not do anything for money. (if you extend observation to those without a job, it's the exceptionally greedy plus those incapable of finding something different. congratulations.)
- CyberDildonics 2y agoThis seems more like you are jealous of tech workers with high pay and want some rationalization to call them greedy.
- mooreds 3y ago> primarily motivated by greed. Or perhaps a desire to, say, eat or live under a roof? A job is pretty much required for living nowadays in much of the world. A good job (one that requires jumping through such hoops) makes living much easier.
- ofslidingfeet 2y agoThey have jobs where the interview isn't a hazing ritual. Those do exist, if you don't need a tech salary.
- SoftTalker 3y agoNowadays?
- trevyn 3y agoWeird, literally the majority of people who eat or live under roofs don’t have jobs.
- hinkley 3y agoOr a masochist. They really like finding those.
