Tech companies are famous for coddling their workers but after mass layoffs the industry's culture has shifted. Engineers say that getting hired can require days of work on unpaid assignments.
It’s not a litmus test, it’s just a basic filter. You don’t understand the time wasted (for both parties) when recruiters present “self starters” and “driven” and “passionate” candidates. It’s not our goal to give people a chance, it’s our goal to find a great fit for the position.
Let me rephrase, to make myself crystal clear, because you didn’t get the tactful approach: that’s a shitty filter. By excluding people without a degree, you’re saying that ability to afford university for 4 years is more important than skill, experience, or knowledge.
It shows that you’re ignorant. It shows that your company has a toxic workplace.
It’s probably one of the dumbest flexes I’ve ever seen.
No, you’re right. Being fun at a party of techbros is totally a sign of superiority and not at all a sign of sociopathy 🤮
Tbf you’re probably not a terrible person, but that is a bad take. Rejecting someone based entirely on education, and not allowing for other factors (as is implied), is just bad for both your company and society.

Wow I bet you’re fun at parties

Lol you talk as if I give a fuck
You talk like a bootlicker. At least I have a modicum of self-awareness.
You’re offensive.
Only to fascists and bigots.
Shoo
