To me, the rules given to you are pure gatekeeping. The fact that even after they had given successively more restrictive rules for what should be a trivial program they then verbally restricted you further confirms this. I would question whether this was actually an interview for a real job or not but in any case it's not you it's them.

Powershell is more equivalent to Python than BASH TBH

I was wondering which cloud this was and from the screenshot, yep AWS S3. Especially these days you have to work hard to fail like this. I'm guessing this deployment had been rotting for years.

I'm concerned that Amazon is driving their best people away for a vanity metric that their customers don't care about- see 'The Dead Sea Effect'

I realise this topic has been covered repeatedly but considering it from another angle:

As an engineer employed by third party companies using AWS, this doesn't look good. I don't care if the support people are in an office. I do care if they're available and know what they're doing. There are other cloud providers available. For new entrants, what's Amazon's unique selling point?

It's not a drinking game. It's a schoolyard game generally played around this time of year by children and younger teenagers.

It's funny I worked with someone for a few months who was ex McKinsey. You could be describing him.

It would probably be possible as a third party extension. See Fakespot extension for instance.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a non-paywalled link myself. This _appears_ to reproduce the article text: https://kbin.melroy.org/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/480211

Predictable comments here - 'How can the children do this?'; 'Why can't people get along?'; 'but they're you're family'. Sure people, this is just a casual social fashion and estrangement something that people could not possibly do for a valid reason. You know it 'couldn't be right' and so people feel free to judge.

The key issue as you will see from a lot of the Reddit communities mentioned as well as the examples in the article is the narcism of the parents. There is no compromise with such people, it's either their way or the highway and we are reading about the people who took the highway.

Consider another family relationship: Divorce. Apart from a few religious fundamentalists we don't see people queuing up to try and reconcile divorced couples simply because they are divorced. We don't expect such people to be comfortable in their ex's presence, we don't feel the need to apply thought-terminating clichés to shut down the idea that they might be right. For some reason there is a societal inertia that parents have a divine right to just carry on being a*holes to their children if they wish and it is the children's fault if they don't like it.

I haven't read the article but in response to your comment here:

Scrum is widely used and also widely disliked. I find that apologists for scrum generally excuse the dislike as 'that's not how scrum is supposed to be implemented' - just as you have here. It's exactly the same form of argument you get from apologists for Marxism or Communism when confronted with the widespread dislike for those systems. If something has generally failed wherever it has been implemented, it's not because it hasn't been implemented properly, it's because it is fundamentally broken.

What the presenter here chimes absolutely with my recent/ongoing experience. I've interviewed for a mix of permanent and contractor positions where supposedly everything has gone well with interviews but there's some BS or other, including:

- Position withdrawn midway through interviews

- Position withdrawn after final interview

- Rejected on a minor skill component when employer has re-advertised this and several similar/associated positions repeatedly each week since

- Repeated requests for 'one more interview' (did one, they decided they didn't need another) . Got 'verbal confirmation they want to take you' and told that 'everyone in the company at every level says they want to go ahead' but mysteriously they somehow haven't been able to commit that to writing.

Matches ChatGPT summary of transcript for this video:

To recognize signs of fake job postings, the presenter advises looking out for certain red flags, such as:

- *Vague Job Descriptions*: If the job description lacks detail or is unclear about the responsibilities and requirements, it might be a ghost job.

- *Repeated Postings*: If you notice the same job posting recurring over several months or even years without apparent updates, it could indicate that the role is not intended to be filled.

- *No Response or Ghosting*: If you apply and even proceed through several rounds of interviews, only to be ghosted or told the position is no longer available, this could be a sign of a fake posting.

- *Prolonged Hiring Process*: Companies that keep stringing along candidates without clear timelines for hiring or giving vague excuses might be using ghost job tactics.

The presenter advises job seekers to be cautious and not take rejection personally, as these practices are often due to the company's strategies, not because of the candidate's qualifications. Ultimately, these signs help job seekers avoid companies that might be toxic or engage in unethical practices.

The elephant in the room with this article is that it is based on the presumption that people *will* give feedback and so discusses the next step- recommendations for how best to do so. In my experience the bigger problem is that *people often don't want to give feedback at all*. I have seen situations more than once where someone was actively seeking feedback as suggested here, e.g. asking their manager at each 1:1 "is there anything else I should know", being told "No concerns" week after week, even receiving compliments from that manager and colleagues on the team on some tasks, and then suddenly (for them at any rate) get a bombard of negative criticism together with an on-the-spot dismissal.

We can all make idle comments in response to the above about how "that's not how you should give feedback" or "those employees must have been really awful" but ultimately withholding or avoiding feedback and then delivering it in a catastrophic manner (together with a dismissal to avoid dealing with the consequences) is a thing that happens, even when people are requesting it in an appropriate setting from people with responsibility to provide it.

I think 'hosted' has two meanings in this context which may be adding to your confusion. Clearly your own example refers to a 'host' server which you can connect to and can run scripts dynamically. GitHub pages is a static site service. Essentially you load your site into a CDN cache and serve from there. You don't really have a 'host' to connect to at all.

Ok so now that this has been widely reported, we know that glassdoor are rolling it back promptly and publishing an apology and confirmation of this on their website, right? Right?

Judaism isn't really comparable here IMO. It isn't proselytising as a religion and there isn't an emphasis on belief. It is of course possible to be both Jewish and any other religion at the same time.

Not understanding why this is cruel. Let's just say I have more than a passing familiarity with autism, of which special interests are a common feature.

Are you aware that in order to use many models of TV at all, you are required to connect them to the internet?

Pretty clear that this is going to run into Disability Discrimination laws with neuro diverse candidates. Autistic and blind/partially sighted people aren't likely to have 'typical' body language. Deaf and hard of hearing people may have speech / response issues, etc, etc.
