This seems very much like just a fun jab that immediately breaks the ice, if someone doesn't go for a second date because of this alone I think they are too easily offended.

I shudder to think the pain he went through to resort to that as a better option.

They're getting you to do the job for them lol, that's the kind of thing a whole internship should be based on, not an interview

Your explanation is right, but the last sentence makes you insufferable

Also tree roots will tear stuff up

It doesn't help that some actual anti semitic people are also using this as an excuse to chime in. Some protests about it in the UK right now.

Free range?

While they managed to catch 4 people, out of a total of 132 people that doesn't sound very good, and might have even made it harder for the police to catch these people. One of them was found to be innocent, what if more of them were?

There's so many other issues too, such as the fact that old job posts don't really get removed, employers/recruiters also spam multiple websites with their job posts and forget to check them, and some of the job descriptions don't even match what you go and sign up for.

No salaries mentioned on lots of posts, multi stage interviews that somehow demand your free time during work hours, so good luck interviewing for other roles while you have a job. Take home assignments that take multiple hours sometimes, sacrificing a whole evening.

Recruiters that will ask for all your information again, despite having found your phone number from your CV, and once you go through that, tell you they have nothing for you and that they'll be in touch.

Questions that mean nothing in an interview, including acronyms I haven't used or even heard of outside of interviewing for other jobs, because my job doesn't need or use them, we just do the work.

Nowadays if you do all those steps someone else will have bought the house before you're done

Honestly I'm thankful lemmy isn't in the media, or this place would grow out of control. I think a steady growth is much healthier.

All IKEA furniture I've bought has lasted a long time, but the meme is wrong, the reason it even exists is you can't buy better quality furniture for the same price, at least not by very much, it will cost a lot more if you want amazing quality.
