minus-squareGibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up11·edit-21 year agoSo, 4 interviews in 3 weeks as “Christian name” as opposed to 3 interviews in 4 months as actual name. I wonder how they’ll react when they think they’re going to meet “Christian name” and get “actual name” instead.
minus-squaremelbaboutown@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoIt fucking sucks that you have to do this. Makes me wonder what working for those companies is like
minus-squareGibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-21 year agoIt’s interesting how every company is talking about diversity, equity and inclusion. And yet…here we are.
minus-squareCEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoIt’s ridiculous that you have to do this. As someone who now has an arabic surname I get a lot of quizzical looks which make me laugh.

It’s a pity I don’t know how to code apps, because if I did, I’d make one that automatically plays a response when it’s asked the following questions: Where’s that from? No, I mean where are you from *originally*? No, I mean where’s your family from? Oh, and where’s that? Have you been back recently?
minus-squareCEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoYou speak really good English AJ. Well done.

minus-squarejust_kitten@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-21 year agoCan you speak the language? Why not?/How do you say (stupid thing) in your language? is another one. It’s not the 1980s guys…
