Rockstar always gets me.
“Okay, so is it cool if I roll out of bed around noon, pound a 40, and come to work for a few hours while expecting a high salary and constant praise?”
“No, of course not.”
“Then, in your own words, why don’t you tell me what you think a rockstar is. Is the rockstar in the room with us right now?”
Everybody wants a rockstar employee until I show up coked out of my mind for work smh.
Hey, as long as you’re a good coder, I don’t care how high you are. Though I’ll need to find a way to explain the new “Misc” category in my budget.
Rockstar: solve all our problems
How do you manage to fuck up so many things?
Quotation marks missing
Period missing
Two spaces before the first quotation mark
Space between the text and quotation mark
All but one entry after the equals sign not being capitalizedNever two spaces. NEVER!
Otherwise, spot on.
I mean, on a typewriter yeah. But otherwise, no.
I went for a job interview like 8 years ago and the first thing a guy said to me when I walked into the office was “this job is fucking shit, don’t do it”. He said it with a grin but I knew he wasn’t joking.
Guess what? The job was indeed fucking shit. I actually had respect for that guy for his straight up honesty.
I use ‘self starter’ at work to describe someone that I don’t have to manage and will figure out what they need to do to manage their own project without me holding their hands.
I provide my own continuity binder and am there to answer any questions once we’re done with a brief left seat/right seat… but, I need someone who is capable of handling themselves instead of me being their parent.
What’s a better word than ‘self starter’ if people see that negatively?
They have Initiative if they are able to act on their own based on their training. As in they don’t require being told to do their job all the time, they just do it.
If you don’t bother with training then you want self starters and hopefully you are fine with whatever shenanigans they come up with.
I would also add that ‘why use many words when few word do’ is usually used to obfuscate bad stuff, so you could potentially pass the vibe check by just saying the above similarity to how you described it here.
‘Willing to do managements job for them’.
Yeah these are pretty much all red flags, however…
I love ‘wearing multiple hats’. Otherwise I get bored! And if you e got a good manager, the inefficiency that comes with multiple hats is understood.
