Yesterday I heard that in my country of the Netherlands, 4 people received euthanasia last year due to long covid. Euthanasia is doctor assisted suicide, and to receive it you must prove “unbearable suffering” with no hope of improvement. They weren’t super old either, the youngest was 51.
That’s when they realized they were the least liked employee.
Finally an actually unpopular opinion. Angry upvote. AI slop needs to die and I will not shut up
This is not unpopular
I love this insult between France and the Netherlands:
Having 50 varieties of Gouda doesn’t make you a cheese country
It’s a different culture. This is how we’re being nice!
We’re honestly not doing it to offend anyone, but if you are, that’s on you and we won’t back down. It never was about hurting anyone’s feelings so don’t take it that way. I know other countries would call that inconsiderate, but that’s the idea.
I’ll make an effort when dealing with other cultures, but this is acceptable and expected behavior in the Netherlands. Like I said, different culture
I can be pretty direct (I’m Dutch lol what can I say), so I’ve learned to follow it up with something like “is that OK?” or “does that sound good to you?”
Vehicles don’t have to be tested before going on the road? Do they just issue license plates to any new car model?
That’s not how it goes. You’d hire the perfect candidate under all measures. So that’s a silly hypothetical. But maybe they have another candidate where the risk is much lower of them leaving after investing training effort, or of them getting bored or finding a job elsewhere more suited to their capabilities, then it makes sense not to hire the overqualified candidate. It’s not usually this one thing, unless early on in the process and they have loads of candidates. And again, “too expensive” is also a legitimate reason not to hire someone.
Hiring is about more than just “can they do it”. That’s the issue. HR isn’t trying to fuck you over. They want the best fit and that isn’t necessarily the most qualified candidate.
Could be that, but that would also be legitimate, wouldn’t it? And it could also mean it’s not the right fit, or the candidate will pursue a different offer, or leave soon, or want a different position soon, or all kinds of other problems.
It’s not win or lose, but a gradient. Every tenth of a degree that we make it less hot, will save many lives. Fight for that. Every tenth of a degree counts
They typically won’t take the job or won’t like the job. You don’t want to hire someone for a position if they don’t actually want that specific position, because there’s a reason that’s the vacancy. Both candidate and HR have to judge if it fits
Oh, one of these again. I know just the right question:
Do you believe Palestine has a right to exist?
Just give me another Unreal Tournament, please
There’s already a gesture 🖐️ and there’s blinking your hazard lights.
