Who keeps spunking in the sink you gross fucks?

I really like the foreign exchange students who have no idea on what supposed to be a local social Norm....

Like you're not supposed to attempt to try and flush an entire rotisserie chicken carcass. Yes I said flush. As in toilet.

If people were obviously lying about their knowledge and abilities, I'd see how far they are willing to push it. "So how much experience do you have with python 4?"or" please write on this board how to do the well known programming problem fizz buzz, in sql"

Depending on your office building, "please demonstrate how you would handle the sliding window problem?" let them write for a few minutes. When they are done tell them "incorrect" and then walk over and open the window in your office.

Don't actually do any of these. They would make you a huge asshole but it would be funny.

You need the basic technical knowledge, but most of it won't apply in the working world. People cut corners just enough that they won't get into trouble. Although, depending where you are, open and flagrant corruption is normal.

Why did the person do that? I'm sure there is a reason for it so I try not to judge.

Not sure if this is a major difference between the US and Australia, but the vast majority of jobs I’ve gone for I’ve been interviewed by the people who are the managers of the position they’re hiring for. HR tends to handle booking in interview times and what not and then onboarding once a decision is made, but the only time I’ve been interviewed by someone from HR was in a panel interview where the line manager was also present and interviewing. I’ve never worked for big business, but a lot of government and NGO roles as well as large retail chains, cafes and the like.

In the US, I'm my experience, you typically have 10 to 15 minute conversation with hr(or separate agency) first. Basically this is for ensuring you will have a chance of fitting in. It's not to test technical skills or abilities. For example and I had one recently where after basic greetings the rep said the job was local for 3 months and then expected about 95% of the time was international travel, was I ok with traveling that much? Long story short basically no. Meeting ended in about 5 minutes, never even met the hiring manager. I'm another case I met with a rep from an agency for a job, after the conversation he told me I would not be a good fit (basically it was a manual labor job and almost everyone spoke Spanish which I don't). That said, he then said but I have another position you would fit and I ended up at that company for many years.

They shouldn't (and don't in my experience) ask specific details. It's not like "what is the timing offset on a Ford 438 engine?" or "how do you transform a spreadsheet of financial data to a presentation for management?" those are for the hirering manager. They ask questions like are you legally allowed to work here? Are you ok with travel requirements? Will you be able to communicate with coworkers? It's short, basic and basically a screen to verify you are worth the manager time for the real interview.

The process for this is usually like that:

• Software dev team lead: "We need another senior frontender."
• HR person: "Ok, what are you looking for?"
• Software dev team lead: "Someone who knows how to use Angular."
• HR person: "Great, so which version of Angular are you using?"
• Software dev team lead: "Version x.y.z"
• HR person (thinking, not saying): "Ok, so senior means 5+ years, so 5+ years of version x.y.z it is!"
• Also HR person: "Why can't I find anyone who's qualified?"

I don't see how that's representative of society in general.

I'm giving an example of a group of people that have determined people are responsible for themselves for the most part at age 13. Its meant to show what's possible on what many would consider the more extreme end of things.
