Vice President Human Resources at Reliance

Aaah, that explains it all.

[–] Wazowski@lemmy.world 15 points 15 hours ago

I can’t wait to retire and fuck off into the sunset. This shit is so tiresome.

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 50 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe HR should have an exit interview with Raj to let him know he's fired for wasting everyone's time and company money with moral-busting-anxiety-inducing fake interviews.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 14 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (5 children)

I don't understand how exit interviews are a thing. Why would anyone go to one? I'm leaving the company, I don't owe you shit. Hell, I stopped putting in 2 week notices 20 years ago. These corporations don't care about me so I don't care about them.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 13 points 17 hours ago

Are you kidding, I love going to exit interviews. Its where you can say, in great detail and without reprisal, exactly why the company sucks.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 12 points 17 hours ago

I've had exit interviews, and I've had jobs where I wish there was an exit interview. It's possible to give feedback without burning bridges, and I don't think I've ever left a job on bad terms.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 18 hours ago

sometimes you leave on good terms. Might give them some things to improve (although I'd say that should happen continuuously, ideally. not just at the end)

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 6 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Exit interviews are a signature quest. They need you to sign some NDA so you can't bitch about the reeeeally sketchy stuff your boss did.

If they pulled a guy out of a meeting - his meeting - to fire him, those cruel fucks deserve nothing from me but a glance in my rearview.

My last resignation was via a note added to my file on the way out. I left another job with Friday plane tickets and a go-bag and was starting work on Monday in a new time-zone.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 4 points 17 hours ago

See my favourite is when they do the exit interview and then after try and make you sign an NDA.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 2 points 15 hours ago

I have a policy to never sign anything that isn't contingent to me getting a job. Since I'm leaving, I ain't signing shit.

[–] dariusj18@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

A chance to vent about your boss in hopes they get demoted?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Come on man, that's petty as fuck.

And again, I'm leaving so my ex boss is not my problem anymore.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 17 hours ago

Yeah, it is great! And since I have empathy I understand my ex-boss will be someone else's problem.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 206 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

so that person is both wasting people's time, and possibly making their current team feel unnerved and replacable. galaxy brain move truly

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 25 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Meh, they're just hiding the obvious - if they found a good candidate they'd hire them. It's a gentle rejection.

This appears to go over our linkedin mastermind over there though, and proceeds to write a self-help book about it...

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 35 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Do these people even hear themselves talk?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 9 points 16 hours ago

You kidding?

It's their favorite thing.

[–] spacesatan@leminal.space 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Did everybody just decide to not read the last part?

Be aware of your people's worth so the world doesn't have to remind you.

It's basically 'hey, remember how shitty hiring is? keep that in mind and try to keep people you have.' It's not an example of "this is a good thing to try doing."

[–] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

No its saying what he learnt from doing the actions in a more summarized manner. "The world reminding you" is not the actions taken in the story, but rather the conceptual issue you'll be avoiding by following the "advice". It's not a negation

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 124 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If they straight up admitted they wasted my time, I'd steal a printer or something on the way out.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 23 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

With how printers are nowadays, that printer would probably try to get a GPS lock, or failing that, scan all devices nearby to try to determine its whereabouts, then capture your ID, face and any sensitive information it could, and start extorting your for more yellow ink...

[–] voodooattack@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Beautiful comment

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

And demand you create an account to just turn it on.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 34 points 22 hours ago

Congrats, Harjeet, on being a piece of shit. Doesn't even matter if it's fake and gay like greentexts, this kind of thought is a cancer

[–] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 66 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My man writing corporate yaoi fanfiction on LinkedIn...

[–] Sequence5666@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago (2 children)
[–] scrion@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago

Manga depicting explicit, male homosexuality.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 5 points 20 hours ago

As is tradition on 4chan, all greentexts stories are fake and gay. Jack is elegantly indicating this, by qualifying OP's post as being a fictional male homoerotic narrative.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 72 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

if you can't be aware of your team's worth without wasting everyone else's time, then you're a pretty pathetic "leader"

i thought sikhs were supposed to be not-dickheads?

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 37 points 1 day ago (3 children)

All religions ask you to not be dickheads, not just sikhs

[–] wrinkledoo@sh.itjust.works 12 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Most religions "ask" you to not be a dick head, while constantly psychologically encouraging you to be a turbo dick head, even promoting you if you're a big enough dick.

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't that just people tho?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 15 hours ago

That's what the dicks tell each other

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 22 hours ago

And often then absolving you of everything dickish you did

[–] peregrin5@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And all religions miraculously still have high numbers of dickheads. Some more than average.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago
[–] al_Kaholic@lemmynsfw.com 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Get back to the office so I can bask in your worth.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

i'll shoot my worth all over your face

[–] al_Kaholic@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

A load so pathetic it's not worth a maggots face. SHAME!

You all don't get it. In the story, the interviewer is the bad guy, he's wasting his time and the time of the interviewee just to understand how valuable his team is.

The lesson to take from it is to be in touch with your team so that you don't need someone else to show you how they are.

Isn't that the entire point of being a people leader? I am, and my job description and yearly goals are all about team performance, not my individual performance.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago

I'm surprised this is so low. The moral obviously implies this interviewer behavior is wrong.

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 61 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Waste people's time and give them false hope. Great moral

[–] Grimtuck@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

Wasting his own time and the companies too. Should be sacked. I hope he gets nothing but bogus interviews for the rest of his life.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

A quick search reveals ol' Harjeet is somehow quite the bigwig in HR circles. He wrote a book entitled 'Employee Retention Mastermind'.

I wonder if this is an excerpt.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 16 hours ago

HR not shaking the rep as a cargo cult any time soon

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day ago

If you need external validation that your team has value, you have no business being in a management position.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 6 points 1 day ago

This man will not have a car within 6 months, he will have a flaming pile of scrap, or a canvas upon which scratches paint a vile picture.

And also will be receiving an invoice for my time.
