Did Colbert go down as well? He was struggling until he turned it into the Trump bash show.

Fired lol

It's whatever tbh. I was already underpaid by like 15 k and the direction the company is headed in regards to my department was/is not a good one. They fired practically every person (100+) in my department

Damn sorry man. Mass firings suck because it has nothing to do with your own performance. Best of luck finding a new job.

Yeah private tutors and test prep courses are bullshit. I remember after taking the SAT, there was one problem that I was stuck on for ages. I asked the other kids about it afterwards (I was a poor kid living in a rich area), and they were all like, yeah my test prep course taught us the formula for that. I was like MOTHERFUCKERS! I wasted a good ten minutes on that shit in a time intensive test, and you had a fucking formula in your back pocket?

Anyways...

Ive seen many kids who excel at math but struggle with grammar or geography or learning foreign languages.

How many of those kids who exceled at math but struggle with other subjects were also among the top 5 or so at math in the class?

I've seen kids who were on AP Calculus BC, and only in regular English, but they weren't top of the pile in AP Calc. They were middle of the road in the class while the top kids in that calculus class was also the top kids in other classes.

And even if they weren't the top kids on other classes, they'd still be in AP and be acing the class. They're not going to be struggling in regular.

Ofc there are exceptions, but if you're a generally intelligent person, you're not going to be struggling. Apathetic maybe.

Also want to add the science behind emotional intelligence is pretty weak. I read the Daniel Goldman book that started it all, and it basically conflated a whole bunch of stuff together to make their case.

Hey you know the marshmallow test? That's EQ too! Nevermind that introvert kids probably do a whole lot better on stuff like that. Or that rich kids tend to do better on tests like that. It isn't just reading emotions and people as many articles lead you to believe. A lot of it is being a responsible adult. Another bit is nepotism.

While it's true that there are different types of intelligence, there is also a general level of cognitive ability. The kids who were great at math at my school were generally also great at other subjects as well. It wasn't like a kid put all his skill points into math so he can't be great at languages. The problem solving skills and the ability to pick up things quickly all carry over.

It's a depressingly common occurrence. These stories always make me sad to think how they get to that point.

I thought the episode I watched was some biographical pic of someone of small fame. They were saying how the guy was shy, and they were coworkers who eventually got together. It seemed like a cute story. Then all of a sudden they said the wife got murdered and it dawned on me it was a crime show.

I saw part of it in the break room and looked it up on wikipedia so I can see who the killer was. Kinda depressing to see all these married couples murdering each other.

Not sure why the show is so popular with women. The women's tv channel Oxygen pivoted towards crime shows. I didn't see that coming at all.

I think it's good that he's being honest about it, but the takeaway should not be "wow I always knew he had integrity" and instead "hmm maybe I've been drinking the kool aid a bit on this man's products"

Nor should the takeaway be "this is bad for the stocks" but instead "are they going to get serious on building a product that actually belongs in this industry"

Yeah I'm not saying he's a man of high integrity. Just saying it's nice to not get the corporate speak answer.

I dont think many engineers from top prestigious schools are whining about failed interviews, it jobs, and using glassdoor, for starters

I'm not a good interviewer or a networker lol. And of course I use glassdoor. You want to see what a company is like before you work there.

That failed interview was for a job that is in charge of implementing a new ERP type system. It's much more complicated than being the IT guy, and as said in the topic, it wasn't a good fit so I'm staying at my current job.

People don't kick the door down recruiting anymore. The market is saturated. Companies get hundreds of resumes and likely don't spend more than a second looking at anyone.

Because no matter what your job is, they're not paying you your true worth. This goes for even the lowest level positions.

I'd argue that a lot of people in the corporate world aren't too important for the company. They can not show up to work and no one would even notice. Hell sometimes things go better because they're an obstacle.

Lower wage ones tend to be lower wage because it's so easy to replace them.

I'd argue that the most underpaid are the experienced hourly workers. There are some that are absolutely pivotal to the day to day, and have so much tribal knowledge they can't be replaced. Most overpaid are the guys who just show up and talk in meetings all day, and make bad decisions.

Yeah he already made millions off the suckers following him. No worries for him.
