    That’s an intentionally rigid view of the world.

    The communication gap is that rigidity.

    For example, it may say “minimum requirements” on the web form, but let’s put ourselves into the shoes of the person filling it out. Are they SUPER strict on these minimums? Or are they just filling out the form the best they can?

    Usually it says sobering along the lines of “ideal candidates” and not “bare minimum” but you likely won’t see that due to overly rigid views on the world.

    What if they made a mistake when filling it out, and added things to the “bare minimum “ that aren’t really that harsh a requirement?

    It’s a grey area, it’s not a direct lie and you know that, you just don’t like it.

    Saying it’s a lie assumes you know the intention of the person writing it, and that they intended to deceive you. And you can’t possibly know that either.

    It’s Not a lie and you’re misrepresenting your knowledge of the scenario when you say that.

    They’re not usually labeled “minimum requirements”

    That may be what you’re interpreting, but they’re usually titled “ideal applicants will have the following” which isn’t the same thing

    It feels like the same thing to people with rigid views on the world, but they are not the same.





  • It’s because they appear to be something they’re not.

    They’re usually friendly and fun and do all sorts of employee retention activities like arranging go karting and such…

    They seem like they’re there almost as union stewards, to try and help retain employees and ensure you’re treated well by management. This is not the case. They’re there to protect the company from lawsuits originated by you. This means that they’ll apply rules and such in ways that are not usually beneficial to you.

    They’re actually really helpful if you have issues with a coworker! However, you need to remember that despite how friendly they seem, they’re not actually in your corner, they have their own agenda.

    So the simple answer is that they aren’t bad at all, but it can feel bad if you thought they were your friend.









  • Everyone’s up in arms about a literal anonymous counter, but the other option is the current “spy on everything you do”

    How is Mozilla getting flak for this outside of a few hardcore nerds that are welcome to use chrome if they so desire…

    And I say that as a huge privacy advocate. In the local tin foil hat “privacy matters” nerd and I honestly don’t see the problem.

    And quite frankly anyone that’s said it’s a problem has only been able to come up with “it shouldn’t help them count your views “ which is ridiculous, because it’s very anonymous.

    Sooo …. Help me out here, what’s the issue?
