Oh fuck not this guy leaving containment and ending up on Lemmy of all places.
Ok so this guy is in my field and is 100% the grandpa he appears to be. The worst part thought is that if you catched this, he talked about a career in "I-O". Most of you probably don't know what he's talking about, but he's referring to the field of "Industrial and Organizational Psychology" which is the study of people within organizations. What makes this extra bad is that we actually are the ones who study stuff like "how to conduct ethical and high quality interviews". So he basically violated about everything we recommend in our field why doing this and publishing it. Its honestly embarrassing that this will be many of your first impressions of my profession.
Also the comments are roasting him so badly OP as the comments are likely filled with people who are experts in the subject, so its a deep roast
I do like the bit where he's refusing to leave voicemails and then complaining about phone tag. Thus exacerbating it by refusing to effectively communicate.
If he had just left a message the first time he called, he wouldn't now have to be doing the second phone call. Talk about not getting it.
Oh my God please be true that is hilarious
It is, just looks up the guys name and what the field of IO is. If you look at my comment history you'll see I've spoken about my field many times. It is pretty embarrassing.
