Had to share this gem. Our useless director finally moved forward with adding another member to our department. This new position pays very well, so we all expected a healthy pool of candidates and finally settling on somebody promising. Haha… no.
A few of us get asked to sit in on a panel interview of the only candidate he wants to interview. It's a friend of his of course. This person did absolutely terrible. He showed zero enthusiasm for the position. He couldn't answer even the most basic questions about his past roles or the generic HR questions. It's obvious that he is beyond unqualified for this position.
So anyway we expect him to start next month. My attitude towards work anymore is giving about 0.5% effort. I generally don't give a fuck, and shit like this further reminds me why.
