question: you're a democratic socialist. you believe in socialism. would you forego your entire $170,000 salary as governor?

nixon: "that's not what democratic socialism is about, i'm talking about small number of people sucking millions of dollars out of the pockets of the working class" lol just kidding! she thought for a moment and said yes, she would forego her entire salary. i guess, to prove that she really hardcore believes that socialism is a smart way to live. yeah, taking all my money away at 170k? that's what i want for myself because i'm a real socialist.

like the question wasn't, "you're an actress who has worked in show business for a lot of time, you've made a ton of money and you get residual checks rolling in every week. are you going to help balance the state's budget by foregoing the 170k? then she'd be in a corner, but to the question asked, her answer was dumb and bad, idk i came into it rooting for cynthia but i was not impressed in this last part that i caught
08-29-2018 , 08:24 PM
I think it's a dumb question that calls for a dumb answer which she delivered perfectly. If you only saw the end, you missed the good parts, she was kicking ass.

How is New York so blue yet all of them that win elections suck major ass.

Meh this line of thought gets really dicey really quick

I watched that debate and man, was it a ****show. Both of them were bad, imo. Nixon was a little better. Cuomo kept going for the most nonsensical hits and looked terrible doing so. I was disappointed with how indirect Nixon was in a couple of spots, I thought she had a good opportunity for a couple points. The moderator was pissing me off on the marijuana question, pressing on and on about 'what do you tell your kids'. Wish one of them would have said 'same thing you tell your kids about alcohol'

Felt like the bridge naming issue was pretty irrelevant and she should have just let him have it instead of trying to weave it into the corruption, it played better with a more flippant answer imo

But what do I know

I think it speaks more to stupidity than anything. This reminds me of a recent conversation I had with my boss at work when I asked her what the point of job interviews are since any good candidate is going to lie to you about a high amount of things. She said we know that’s the case. The point of the interviews is to see who is dumb enough not to lie and say the stupid things that indicates they are going to be a bad employee.
Interesting. I never lie or fluff for an interview. I may research questions that are commonly asked and see how my life experiences provide answers, but I never embellish. Don't people feel icky treating their summer at DQ as if they led a battalion in Iraq?

I did not realize most people lie/employers expect them to lie.

I interview a lot of people and the process is total garbage, it's barely better than just looking at interviews. I don't think people necessarily lie in interviews but they're definitely putting spin on things, and anything they can spin on their resume they can spin in an interview.

Recommendations are way, way more reliable. We hardly ever hire anyone without a recommendation, it's just too risky and we don't get enough headcount to take a chance on someone we think might be great if we have someone we are pretty sure will be OK.

The problem with relying on recommendations is that you get a monoculture.

Hiring managers have a super-finite number of reqs. The company as a whole has enough overall that the total company performance would probably be better if they took more chances and had a more diverse workforce overall, but the current system treats hiring as a bunch of isolated, one-off decisions where the individual hiring manager is highly incentivized to make a safe choice instead of a company-wide process that unfolds over a long term.

I never lied about important things or relevant job experience. However, when I got layed off in 2009 I knew I would be interviewing often and so what I did was compile a list of 20-30 of the most frequent interview questions I remembered getting back 5-7 years earlier when I got my first job and I came up with answers to them which I memorized. Some were entirely true, some were entirely made up, some combined pieces of events from two different experiences not necessarily related to the question but they could be combined to sound good. The first interview I had every question asked was one I had listed and I think I sounded rehearsed because I gave answers too quickly and they picked up on it. As a result despite seemingly blowing them away I didn’t get hired. Thereafter, I took my time more to make it seem like I was thinking of an answer. The reality is all of those questions were dumb and on the spot almost nobody can think of a past relative example which is why I memorized all the answers.

My understanding is recommendations are only good if they aren’t previous bosses. Because to my surprise I recently found out from my boss that they aren’t allowed to really disclose anything outside of former employee work dates and that most other companies have the same rule. So even if he is listed as a reference he said he isn’t allowed to say much unless it’s for an employee at his last job

references and recommendations are two completely different things. I don't even know if we actually check references (I guess HR does once we get close to the offer stage just to make sure someone hasn't completely fabricated a resume) but yeah, references generally will only confirm that someone worked at a firm and things like start date/end date.

When I talk about recommendations, I mean someone *I* know is recommending the candidate to me. Usually it's a cow-orker but sometimes I get recommendations from my network.
