Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
"I see you have had jobs that are not like the job I'm interviewing you for. How do you feel about doing the job you applied for?"
I wonder how many people ever fuck up on that.
You would be surprised. This is the kind of question where people who either have barely really thought about the position (beyond, I need and job and this has some key words!) or who are really trying to find a route in to the company to then look for something else tend to expose themselves.
My poor coworker whose last day was supposed to be Friday is here today packing up, but his party was not rescheduled! Poor thing. And he's been here 18 years in a variety of roles, so a lot of people are sad to see him go. (Unlike when my last day at a job was supposed to be 9/12/01.)
Poor ex coworker.
One of my project managers just announced that she was taking 3 months paternity leave for a new 4 footed addition to her family. I.... I don't know what my response is.
Um, what? The apparent gender confusion notwithstanding.
suzi,
how can that occur? there is no mandated leave for pets (I assume we are talking about a pet and not a new human hybrid).
Yeah, the gender thing makes sense (I was there when she married her wife right before I moved to Colorado). But...for a puppy? And announcing it like that?
but how was the leave approved?
I.... I don't know what my response is.
Malzeltov?
Also, I think I need to work for that company, because I didn't even get maternity leave here, and we will get another dog someday . . .
the gender thing makes sense (I was there when she married her wife right before I moved to Colorado).
That doesn't make her a dad, though, even before we get to the part where we're talking about a puppy.
it seems to me she would probably refer to her wife's leave as maternity and her own as paternity. so I get that she's probably using the terms to refer to each half of the partnership and not strictly male and female. Fine, be unusual since we don't have good nouns for either side of a lesbian relationship.
HOWEVER. I still want to know how she got 3 months approved for a dog.
