- jessedhillon 13y ago"I'm presumptuous and have little perspective into how work actually gets done," would be a good interpretation.
- derleth 13y agoA Good Ol' Boy network is a wonderful example of groupthink: "If my friends like this person, they must be good!" As opposed to doing your own research and developing your own standards. Maybe other peoples' definitions are different. That doesn't make either of us presumptuous or ignorant, but you could have laid out your definitions before slinging the insults.
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoBut the OP that you first insulted made no mention of gaming any such "Good Ol' Boy network" that you envision. Knowing people that make it easier to get your resume in front of the right person or to get an interview is how things are done a lot. It's not gaming anything. And that is nowhere near the same as your "If my friends like this person, they must be good!" example. I've seen plenty of referrals come in for interviews and leave without getting a job.
