Filibuster

Shockingly I heard back from the filibuster interview guy today. It had been so long I didn't understand who he was at first.

I've been a bit bewildered so at one point he says 'you don't sound very excited about it' as I was scrambling to remember who the hell he was.


Well EFF! you say you are gonna call people for second interviews 'early next week' and then in fact wait almost four weeks to call, so I would say it is you sir who does not sound too excited. For eff's sake.

Have you ever considered what a charade this whole process is?


They always say things like 'we are calling the top four or five candidates in for a second round of interviews etc.

If in the first round you didn't get it down to at least three, then you mustn't be very good. And secondly if you would let the interviewee actually talk, you might not need a second round at all.

So much of it seems like bs to me. I doubt there are really four other people, but they don't want me to get cocky.

I'm not even sure how interested I am, but it is like 2 minutes from my house which is huge.

I guess you should have acted like you were just called up to the Price is Right.

SA Eric is right about the Price is Right. That's the game I'd play. I'd name some ridiculous salary as your Price and see if they'd agree to pay that make it Right for you to work for a company where management has already shown a propensity for bs.

It would be hard to pass up a two minute commute even with the bs.

And yes I realize that missing comma makes it read like my house is huge, but I don't feel like changing it at this hour.

thanks world
