    Oh I did this one once! I interviewed for a job as a construction worker, and my first question was “what’s the pay” and second “how the fuck do you expect anyone to say yes to that”.

    They also had an apprentice working on a roof right next to us with absolutely no safety gear in sight.

      That one depends on the job. Some managers will love to exploit your inclination to hyper focus on solving problems and following the rules. They won’t ask you to work unpaid after hours but if you want to they won’t protest… Doing a third of the work for a team of six people? That’s great, but your next performance review will include the criticism that you’re not as social as your coworkers because you’re too busy doing the job.

        Except that it’s gambling. The jobs trigger my hyper focus, sure I’ll do in a week a project meant for a month. But inversely, I can be incapable of even thinking about a task and make no progress for weeks.

        I mean, meds have made it better.

      Wouldnt bother me at all, I probably work with a few undiagnosed colleagues.

      The only challenge is making sure we have the right role for you.

    I had one guy I interviewed tell me, unprompted, that all the women in the company would definitely feel comfortable around him.

    Ok???

    It was a fast no thank you. So I guess I’d do that.

        What the fuck?

        I think you need to clarify, because it sounds like you’re saying that the only reason that people have a problem with Nazis is PC culture.

        and that you’re saying people making a big deal about Nazis is a bad thing, people should either not care about Nazis or return to not doing anything about Nazis even if they cared?

        Keep in mind this is in the context of doing a full Nazi salute, which is pretty unambiguous.

        Is that really the hill you want to die on?

          This is a bot my guy. There are a few on Lemmy. They artificially drum up interaction with emotionally charged responses that don’t say much. You could copy paste their comment to anything.

    I had to read that title a few times. As it potentially could be its own answer: offer a blowjob

      I don’t really see the issue with that one. Most of my staff have commitments outside of work that require them to take certain days off or start/finish late during parts of the year. As long as they advise these things in advance, you can just schedule around it.

      Also, if you have enough work on that you need more staff, even a part-timer still reduces the total workload on everyone else.
