The number of jobs I've missed out on and lost exclusively because I'm not normative enough to tell milquetoast jokes around a water cooler with a bunch of people I know two facts about but treat like my best friend numbers in the 100s.
Fuck all these people trying to force the old ways forever just so they can exercise their social capital upon the rest of us.
By old ways, do you mean in-person interviews and work?
Because I won't lie, I do find it easier to collaborate, focus, and communicate with my coworkers in-person, as opposed to the days I work remotely (I do a combination of in-person and work-from-home). And while I think it's unfair to be denied a job for not being sociable enough (I'm very much in the same boat), the overall idea of wanting employees who communicate with and get along with their coworkers better isn't inherently wrong.
No, he's clearly referring to the "metagame" of career building that centers primarily around making your coworkers and managers like you so that they want to give you that promotion/transfer/whatever. That game is remote work lessens that BS by making everything more about the actual work
Thanks mate. <3
Nah. It's all still happening. All your coworkers are in a discord. They just didn't invite you.
Thank God 🙏
I deleted my big detailed reply, because I felt it would lead to an argument.......somehow (wasn't trying to be argumentative but sharing a life experience that differs even slightly usually does) but I do want to disagree with your last point.
Hiring with the primary goal of fleshing out a social club absolutely is inherently wrong with direct financial implications. We've all had that manager that can't tie his shoe right, much less the ordering paperwork but keeps his cushy manager job as someone else does the order so it doesn't implode. We've all had that business we know not to go to because they're always just in the back playing pattycake all day but never get let go. It's not always that extreme, but getting hired is a skill like any other - that usually comes at the cost of the skills you actually need to do the job well.
I couldn't put it any better than @bitsplease@lemmy.ml, but would like to add that I disagree with your last point. If you're only hiring to build out a social club, that's absolutely inherently wrong on a measurable financial level.
Anybody who says they've never had a manager who couldn't tie his damn shoe right much less handle the paperwork that never seemed to be held accountable, or gotten tired of going to a certain establishment because the whole crew is a slackjawed mess playing pattycake in the back but never gets let go, is a damn liar and can eat a whole ass. lmfao.
