Just a rant...
I'm currently unemployed and looking for a job. Has anybody had the misfortune to find themselves in the same situation recently? At every interview I attend I find myself facing a panel of two or three female HR Officers, none of whom ask questions relating to my skills, knowledge, experience, qualifications or general ability to do the job. Instead, I'm bombarded with meaningless, bullshit questions concerning so-called 'soft skills', such as my ability to 'work in a team', engage in 'group decision-making' and so on. And all to work in a shitty office full of women, no doubt with a full compliment of female managers. Just what the hell is going on? Is it sheer blind prejudice to suggest that things weren't like this before women entered the workforce en masse? Would our industrial society even exist if today's women-friendly touchy-feely environments had been introduced 100 years ago? Or would we all be in meetings, 'supporting' one another and just talking about building roads, businesses and skyscrapers, rather than actually building them?
I dropped into and called a number of recruitment agencies today, and guess what? They're all staffed by women too! It seems that I have no choice but to reconcile myself to the fact that women will decide whether I'm fit to re-enter the world of work, and to do so I'll have to conform to their standards and criteria.
At the moment, all I want to do is work in a quarry, breaking rocks with my fucking head.

How would you feel about being asked to help with cleaning up?
What would you do if you had a problem with another employee?
Are you ever in a bad mood?
How are you feeling today?
What would you do if you found out another employee smokes weed when s/he gets home at night?
What would you do if a goat ruined your work and you had to start all over again?
How would it make you feel?
Would you yell at the goat?
Do your friends fight often?
Do you ever fight with your friends?
Which classes did you like best in school?
How do you feel about having a woman manager?
How do you feel about working with people of other races?

Do you think most people try to do a good job?
Do you have any experience building things?

Re: Just a rant...
Yes, that's exactly my point: bullshit. I could give 'correct' answers to all the above, but how would any employer know that I wasn't telling them what they wanted to hear? And what's the point of asking someone if they work well in a team? Will anyone actually say No to this question? Is it something that can be tested simply by asking the question? Of course not, so again: more bullshit. And thinking about it, the fact that these questions do require us to provide the answer the questioner wants to hear very much reminds me of HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH A MODERN WOMAN.

Re: Just a rant...
You've hit the nail on the head. Socially, and in the workplace, men are "expected" (sexism?) to conform to this indoctrinated notion. Beneficiaries (women) would claim such submissive subservience as a variant of chivalry. Todays modern emasculated man is expected to OBEY, and stay asleep. Sleeeeeeppppppppp....... If however, you have the audacity to object in any (righteous) way, you'll be automatically branded a misogynist. See how it works?The wicked flee when none pursueth. Proverbs 28:1
'Rise like Lions after slumber In unvanquishable number - Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you - Ye are many - they are few.'

Re: Just a rant...
Do you work well on a team?
That depends on the team, but generally I have no issues as long as we're all playing for the same team.
Do you have good leadership skills?
No
How are your communication skills?
They got me this far...
How do you feel about using a walkie-talkie to communicate with your team mates?
It would have its advantages, I'm sure.
Are you good at working with others?
Isn't the same as the first question?
How would you feel about being asked to hold the stop sign and direct traffic?
Sounds like break time...
How would you feel about being asked to help with cleaning up?
That's been standard in most of the jobs I've done.
What would you do if you had a problem with another employee?
Ignore them, if it got out of hand - make a complaint.
Are you ever in a bad mood?
Yes!
How are you feeling today?
Erm. good, I got a bit earlier.
What would you do if you found out another employee smokes weed when s/he gets home at night?
Why would I find that out? I don't go prying into others' affairs.
What would you do if a goat ruined your work and you had to start all over again?
Call home and ask if we needed any meat for dinner...
How would it make you feel?
Rather annoyed.
Would you yell at the goat?
Almost certainly... Unless Drex was behind it, shoving it forward... then I'd have to turn around, go home, and get lots of head-cure pills down me.
Do your friends fight often?
No, that's why they're friends.
Do you ever fight with your friends?
No, because they're friends.
Which classes did you like best in school?
Probably the last one I ever attended.
How do you feel about having a woman manager?
I have experience with female managers, and IMHO they are very deceptive - they resort to personal attacks when they feel in any way undermined or threatened.
How do you feel about working with people of other races?
Not a prob.
How do you feel about working with disabled people?
Done it before. I've worked with Social Services in helping young people with learning & physical disabilities. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Do you think most people try to do a good job?
'Most people' is difficult to determine as I'm not most people. I guess for the most part, yeah - but I wouldn't place a bet on it.
Do you have any experience building things?
If by 'building' you mean computers, yeah. If by 'building' you mean homes & such, yeah. If by 'building' you mean relationships/friendships,etc. Yeah.
Why should I hire you?
Because I'm the only one in the waiting room at this moment... And you need someone... and I need your money... and I'm bored... and have an amazing talent with pipe-cleaners, my left nostril and I'm sure it would entertain all who see it.

Re: Just a rant...
I recall making a similar point and, well... hi Percy!
Quote from Ted Bundy

It never would have occurred to me to blame this state of things on a woman though!
Oh dear, Marx, I believe you are too much of a smart-arse to pass one of these interviews. Do try again next year.
Would you yell at the goat?
Almost certainly... Unless Drex was behind it, shoving it forward... then I'd have to turn around, go home, and get lots of head-cure pills down me.

Re: Just a rant...
Hey! I nearly missed this bit!
Do you work well on a team?
Sure, I did 4 crackwhores one after the other before breakfast only this morning!
Do you have good leadership skills?
No doubt about it darling.. I use the carrot and stick approach to motivation, I have a 12" carrot that I stick up them, its either a treat, or a punishment, but i always enjoy it!!
How are your communication skills?
Fucking great, no cunt is ever in the least doubt what i am trying to get across to them!!
How do you feel about using a walkie-talkie to communicate with your team mates?
No problem, I just tell em that I am getting my carrot ready for them..
Are you good at working with others?
Yes, I built a classy shrine in my bedroom out of their skeletons..
How would you feel about being asked to hold the stop sign and direct traffic?
No problem, It would only need one hand, I could get my 12" out and have fun pointing the traffic with my blue viened baton!
How would you feel about being asked to help with cleaning up?
Need you ask? I always take my trophies home! Never left any fucking evidence yet!
What would you do if you had a problem with another employee?
Talk it over and get it all sorted, captitulate totally to their wishes, meet them for a drink afterwards to show there are no hard feelings.. If they dont come in to work the next day, or ever again because they have mysteriously dissapeared, then it would be clear that I was right in my original opinion about them!
Are you ever in a bad mood?
Not sure what you mean by that, but I can assure you there is not a fellow alive who has ever seen me in a bad move!
How are you feeling today?
How? Or who? I am feeling something really good, look under the table and see!
What would you do if you found out another employee smokes weed when s/he gets home at night?
Hmm! tough one! I'd look into the firms policy on such matters, prior to working out whether to recommend a cheaper source or blackmailing them..
What would you do if a goat ruined your work and you had to start all over again?
Goats are my work!! I like to repeat work, I get paid twice!
How would it make you feel?
Kinda horny.. I am rather partial to ruminants..
Would you yell at the goat?
No, I would probably whisper sweet nothings in its ears and hope it does not kick back too hard!
Do your friends fight often?
No, they just itch a bit, I have been told to get some "Doc Johnsons patent pest powder" but being a pacifist I dont approve of killing defenceless lice..
Do you ever fight with your friends?
I once scratched my balls a bit over-zealously and wiped out 3 generations of scabies mites..
Which classes did you like best in school?
I was privately educated so I guess I liked those middle class sluts best.. I used to do some great "woodwork" with them!
How do you feel about having a woman manager?
Feel? Id not only feel it, Id fuck it ragged!
How do you feel about working with people of other races?
I specialise in the sprint, but recognise there are times when its not just a matter of getting into the getawat car as fast as possible, so I guess middle distance runners could give me a few tips! I must confess, have found it hard to work with Marathons, have to use Snickers now, they melt just as well though and there is nothing like eating peanuts out of a goats flange!
How do you feel about working with disabled people?
I am disabled myself, I am insane and not only that, many women have worked well with me and have only discovered I have 3 legs when we get on the dance floor.. Is being female classed as a disability? I often have to help them lift heavy weights, its tiresome, but I suppose they only have little hands and this fella (look under the table darling!) definatley needs both hands!
Do you think most people try to do a good job?
Sure they do, lets face it, lying still for 5 minutes while they are on the job is a pleasure!
Do you have any experience building things?
Look under the table again.. Is that an erection or what!!??
Why should I hire you?
Look under the table, If that doesnt convince you, then you must be a fucking lesbo!!

Re: Just a rant...
It never would have occurred to me to blame this state of things on a woman though!Could have something to do with the fact that men ask these kind of questions too, or they hand you an examination with these questions, or that a man has told me I was not a "team player" when I refused to be bullied by him anymore...

Re: Just a rant...
i know its just a nickname, and i know its all supposed to be funny and everything but i find using that monsters name and even taking on his role is totally in bad taste to me, i think it gives you a bad name before you even started.by ted bundy.. If I don't get a job soon I might go full-time...
i have to say i do not approve of anyone using that name, just my opinion
