I can picture the linked in headline now. Why I made our prospects crawl and moo, and why you should, too.
- cjk2 2y agoThis is depressingly accurate but nowhere near the worst thing I've seen on there.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoThe headline or the interview? I've heard my share of interview hells, but I don't think aything tops crawling and moo'ing.
- cjk2 2y agoBoth. I had one weird one. I once interviewed for a gay social network which was going under because they didn't have any engineers left. I am not gay. They tried to convert me. I politely said that while I have nothing but respect for the gay community, I am simply not gay. They said I wasn't the sort of person they were looking for then and said "shoo along then!".
- Smaug123 2y agoI do not like this interview; I will not pander, crawl, or moo.
- mysterydip 2y agoDo you like green bucks and care? Do you like them, Smaug-you-are?
- Smaug123 2y agoI prefer the following to make the rhyme less tenuous: > You want some wages, Smaug-you-are? Your attitude won't take you far.
- altdataseller 2y agoLeetcode I rather crank. Even partake in a Month python prank;
- DonHopkins 2y agoCould you, would you, with a goat?
- rvba 2y agoPeople got to eat. The unproffessional interviews are usually for the lowest paid jobs. Some pleb gets into a psotion of power and abuses it. However I had my own strange interviews with supposedly "proffessional" people - and it feels like stupid, incompetent or straight up abusive people are everywhere. Sometimes they get weeded out by market economy, but sometimes they dont.
- Smaug123 2y agoTalent selection's not easy to do. Supply and demand must forever be one; The lowest-end jobs got demand by the ton, And something must cut the supply, so we moo!

- rachofsunshine 2y ago"We need to know our hires are comfortable being part of a herd. We're low-ego, and we know that no one can do it alone. We're scrappy, and we'll crawl to get where we're going if we have to. No one is so important that they should stand up by themselves while everyone else is doing the hard work of moving forward." I think I need to go take a shower now. Memes aside, it sounds like this was a student job, which makes me think this was more "college kid screwing around" than "corporate toxicity".

- djaouen 2y agoPower abuse is still power abuse. :/
- rachofsunshine 2y agoYeah, absolutely. But the type matters to the kind of solution.
- whamlastxmas 2y agoI think I’d crawl and moo in an interview if my future direct manager did it first. If it’s so important then they shouldn’t have a problem doing it. I would mostly do it for the story of telling someone I did.
- gigatexal 2y agoExactly. LinkedIn is such a performative place now. “I proposed to my fiance, 10 things I learned about sales after closing the biggest deal of my life” This kind of bs is everywhere.
- iamacyborg 2y agoThe nice thing about stuff like that is it makes it pretty explicitly clear who you should avoid working with.
- gigatexal 2y agoExactly. Life is too short to work with such self absorbed people.
- xtracto 2y agoI find it somewhat sad. I've seen a bunch of former colleagues posting more and more of that bullshit as time passes by and they don't get a job. Knowing them, you can see they are desperate, and that's why they follow the spiel to get "noticed" on LinkedIn.
