5/6 From fuckedcompany today about HP (random poster):
"I'll tell you how fucked HP is: They offered ME a job in Boise a
couple years ago, and I have no disernable skills or talent
whatsoever.
I've made a fortune by shorting the stocks of companies dumb enough to
hire a clueless marketing fuck like me. If I get called for a 2nd
interview, I short a few thousand bucks worth. If they make me an
offer, I bet the farm baby!"
\_ HP has a call center in Boise. Maybe HP didn't care that he didn't
know anything and just wanted a phone-monkey.
\_ I've had very good luck recently getting help from
"phone monkeys" from Agilent, but maybe that's totally different
from HP.
\_ He said he's a marketing guy. I doubt self proclaimed marketing
guys were talking to anyone about call center jobs back in the
day.
\_ I don't get your point. HP is going down because some
anonymous fucked company poster says they offered him
a job he didnt deserve?
\_ No, HP is fucked because they pulled a DECompaq and tried
to compete with Dell instead of being the innovative
company they were. Thanks Carly! --dim
\_ Well, he doesn't have to worry about being wrongly hired now.
We haven't been hiring in well over a year.
\_ I guess I should have been flattered when they came through
with an offer for me. Heh.
\_ Hmm, then maybe we have started hiring again. So hard
to get reliable info within the company. |
