LinkedinLunatics

Ubuntu Canonical? They are famously crazy with psychological tests. There are some horror stories on Hacker News about it.

I'm 40 now, with a master's. I applied for a job where they asked for my undergraduate transcripts. I had them on hand, but I almost laughed the employer out of the proverbial building.

What bearing would my course work from checks notes 17 fucking years ago (Christ I'm a geezer) have on anything? I've got 15 years of solid experience in my field. Gtfo.

There's a reason Canonical is a massive player in linux space, but can't seem to find anyone to work for them. An organization with thier mission intent would be a dream if they weren't lunatics.

Fuck that, C’s get degrees

The ubuntu guys???

My grades are mediocre because beer was £1 a pint, and also because I’m a collection of competing neurodivergent systems.

I had to provide my high school and college transcripts for my job. I also had to list every job I've ever had along with the names of my bosses going back to the beginning of high school.

The application and interview were very difficult, but it was for a dream job so I didn't mind.

Who tf remembers that. I only know my college overall one. Couldnt tell you what the individual subject grades were and dont care. Just make them up for this bullshit.

Just contribute to Mint instead if you want to be in the Ubuntu ecosystem. Or can you move upstream to Debian?

“My gpa was a 9.3. Oh, you were one of those kids who were told it only went up to 4? I guess that’s a justification as to why your scores were so low.”
