Interviewing people again. Didn’t hire the hair farmer from a few weeks ago, already have one dysfunctional child employee we’re working on.

submitted by TheOriginal1Icemonkey to whatever 1.2 yearsApr 2, 2024 23:04:12 ago (+14/-1)     (whatever)

We’re taking applicants from indeed and so far we’ve had a few decent responses. However, first appointment this morning was a no-show. Second one was good. She hit a lot of correct notes, however, she has kids at home and we’re not sure she can actually commit to every Saturday like she claimed. You know, kids have all this shit they demand from their parents these days. Another one called in for a first phone chat and she lives way to far away to make it feasible, besides, she mentioned she lives with her divorced from husband because they still own the house together. Who says that out the gate in a five minute phone convo? Then, without even knowing about our ad online, a nice young lady emailed us via the website and said she drives by our place everyday on her way to classes at the college and had looked us up and wants to come in to see if she could possibly work here. I look her up on LinkedIn and she has “she/her” crap in her whatever it is.
Ugh.

Don't write her off immediately because of the she/her bullshit. She may feel she needs to do that in today's wokearama to even be considered for a job. This coming from someone who hasn't hired anyone in a few years so take it with a grain of salt.

That's exactly the problem ; no integrity, say what you're told to say. She/her crap is the worst one out of all of them

Agreed, I'd hire her, and point out that it's not a good look on any social media, especially LinkedIn.

Agreed. And if so ...

OP complains about someone being honest and upfront about a strange situation "out the gate," then has a problem with someone playing the hiring game of using faggot pronouns.

While I will not reduce my integrity to using pronouns, I did lower it by creating a LinkedIn account during my last job search because so many were asking for one.

There are no half measures.
Either an individual supports the leftist world view or they oppose it.
Simple as.

Correct indocrinated. Even if the lefty loons have to shove it down your throat and in your face until you yell uncle, get down on your knees and praise the deranged mental illness out there. The oh so "tolerant" except nothing less.

I know, it's very difficult these days to find a more or less suitable employee. I fear that you will never find the 'ideal' again and that you will have to settle for the least bad.

What kind of work are you hiring for?

Also if it's a Saturday job why not break it up into two part timers for the week?

[ - ] TheOriginal1Icemonkey [op] 0 points 1.2 yearsApr 3, 2024 22:23:14 ago (+0/-0)

Sales. Interior design. Custom furniture and such.

I receive work emails with that she/her and they/them shit. I believe in some workplaces it's a policy - certainly if you live in a libshit city.

God, no kidding. One disappointment after another.

No more; where ignorance is bliss,. 'Tis folly to be wise.

While you should still go ahead and fully accept reality, he was right about its effects on ones happiness level.

.

This is the last stanza of Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College, an 18th-century ode by the English poet, Thomas Gray. In this poem, Gray invented the phrase 'Ignorance is bliss'.

Do not hire woman.

Outside of serving me tea on demand or snacks/sandwiches for meetings, or just to look good and do nothing, I wouldn't hire a women. Even then, women's work areas would be separate from the men's.

I hate boomers. Including you.
I hate modern world more than you, so at least you have that going on.

You wouldn’t say that to my face, son. And, if you did, I wouldn’t care. I’m a winner and winners get to do what they want.
