The latest Brain Fart

Consider yourself lucky.

I got called 'cocky' recently for asking questions pertaining to the role. (what markets they operate in? how strong are their competitors etc)
Turns out everyone they wanted a 'yes man' who doesn't ask question and doesn't do their job.

Next interview I am going to die my hair grey, stick on a santa beard and say I am 55. That way they can't call me cocky, I would be called "experienced".

Go for 45, at 55 you might be considered too old and stuck in your ways, also 55 is too close to retirement so your mind is on retirement and not the next ten years.

No but if you were to say nobody should be let out of prison because most of them will re-offend you would be wrong, as is the argument that most people choose to live on a benefit as a lifestyle choice and are therefore bludgers.

So what happens if we change "most" to "many"?
Will that help addressing a genuine problem rather than sweep it under the mat?

Come say that to my face...

Ha - sad but true. Seems 35-45 is the perfect time to change jobs/careers. Before or after your fucked

Not saying it is true of the applicant, just suggesting that it is an attitude of employers hence the emotocon. I know from my own view point that there is a lot I wont to achieve before I make it to the official retirement age but ageism does exist.

[scissorhands]

I know this because I am constantly 'amazed' at the utter incompetence displayed by so many people who have jobs...

maybe they have certain skills.... cocksucking cums to mind, something we could all benefit bye bye honesty

hello, sycophantic two faced suck ups.... I think its called 'capture bonding' or sumting...

........all the character and nobility in the world counts for little nowadays, they just want you to fondle their balls

I take it the job was in the sex industry then? But seriously, all the sycophantic behaviour is a bit of a problem these days. It's probably due to HR causing people to worry about their jobs though.

[jasonu]

That's very true... however beneficiaries help the country manage inflation. We need unemployment. I'd call that a service.

Then hell, sign me up! I'd like to get paid for doing fuck all too.

Try it, from reports you will not like it. The hit to the ego etc it isn't a pleasure ride and nothing like a holiday.

The option has been open to you for years. What's been stopping you?

Yeah, nah, from what I've seen it ain;t all bad... just a lack of money. Ditch the ego then

[mashman]

So, ah, who'll help pay for and care for you when you're old? what's Plan B?

I'll find out when I get there, as there's no Plan A mate. I'll probably just get a gun and start shooting people, as that should see me looked after when I'm older.

Errr not always.

1990's Japan anyone.

Sure there are exceptions and I'm going to pull an Oscar on ya , Japan isn't NZ

I like to earn a decent days pay for a decent days work which is what I have always done since joining the work force.

Me too. So would the majority of people on the dole. Praps those who won't have too high expectations... or enjoy the time more than the money. Either way the jobs aren't there, may as well have the ones that are filled with people who want to work.

Better warn the RBNZ then.
Because the lack of inflation/increase in OCR and other things........its starting to look like 90's Japan.
Even the houses are too expensive.
