I guess I won't be able to play a lot of German music in my future videos on their history

2019-07-16 00:27:17 UTC  

5 months later, the director of project management wanted a manufacturing engineer with an MBA in project management..

2019-07-16 00:27:43 UTC  

So I get curbed, but I'm lucky because I'm an employee of my consulting firm and they move me to OH.

2019-07-16 00:28:11 UTC  

The people here seem to love me. The cost of living is amazing compared to everywhere else. I've received raises every year and am hoping for a promotion in this month.

2019-07-16 00:28:22 UTC  

I see where the slight regret for not pursuing engineering comes in

2019-07-16 00:28:27 UTC  

Everything is finally coming up millhouse.

2019-07-16 00:28:46 UTC  

Except no one wants to let me run a project, because I'm not an engineer.

2019-07-16 00:29:08 UTC  

I just found out a potential project manager/program manager role that I was mentioned for was given to someone else... an engineer... with PMP.

2019-07-16 00:29:15 UTC  

Yeah nowadays you need a degree otherwise they won't let your grubby hands on it

2019-07-16 00:29:25 UTC  

Kind of ridiculous

2019-07-16 00:29:43 UTC  

And I've been told, several times, they can't put me in anything I want because I'm not an engineer.

2019-07-16 00:30:04 UTC  

This is what oversaturating the market with tards with a special piece of paper does

2019-07-16 00:30:10 UTC  

No technical engineering ability, none of the good stuff.

2019-07-16 00:30:16 UTC  

@ManOWar This stupid culture is the only reason universities are still so powerful

2019-07-16 00:30:37 UTC  

Imagine my disdain when i start seeing new hires, not contractors, all women. And the one that just joined the team isn't even a real engineer, she's an engineering management major.

2019-07-16 00:30:39 UTC  

@Juanito I know. Degrees are alright but on the job experience is what actually matters

2019-07-16 00:30:53 UTC  

But, equality and whatnot.

2019-07-16 00:30:53 UTC  

^^^^^

2019-07-16 00:30:58 UTC  

Fuck I imagine it grinds the gears

2019-07-16 00:31:05 UTC  

^

2019-07-16 00:31:08 UTC  

Yeah.

2019-07-16 00:31:14 UTC  

Don't get me wrong, she's not stupid.

2019-07-16 00:31:27 UTC  

But, I wouldn't have hired her. And I don't think anyone without a quota would have, either.

2019-07-16 00:31:38 UTC  

Right and thats the issue

2019-07-16 00:31:43 UTC  

But whatever

2019-07-16 00:31:50 UTC  

^

2019-07-16 00:32:00 UTC  

Injustices like these are mostly HR's fault

2019-07-16 00:32:18 UTC  

But, what gets me is that I had the opportunity to learn how to be an engineer. I could have lived my 20s making engineer bank.

2019-07-16 00:32:30 UTC  

Silicon Valley at the turn of the millennium? Dude.

2019-07-16 00:32:39 UTC  

Dude you wouldnt be talking to us

2019-07-16 00:32:42 UTC  

Thats for sure

2019-07-16 00:32:44 UTC

2019-07-16 00:33:07 UTC  

And I spent that time playing DnD, playstation, and wearing a joke uniform and getting paid shit to be looked at by my inferiors as some fat bastard that couldn't get a real job.

2019-07-16 00:33:45 UTC  

gender quotas are making our society economically inefficient

2019-07-16 00:33:47 UTC  

Welp, discipline has been a major weakness all my life. Never wanted anything bad enough to do anything to get it.

2019-07-16 00:33:58 UTC  

Still don't.

2019-07-16 00:34:12 UTC  

So I resort to habit building and removing obstacles.

2019-07-16 00:34:16 UTC  

Sounds like me

2019-07-16 00:34:17 UTC  

Im so glad I asked you because I definitely am the same.

2019-07-16 00:34:22 UTC  

Because I still can't be assed to give even half a fuck.

2019-07-16 00:34:29 UTC  

That tends to be the issue with people who are gifted in the intelligence department
