@tmg Is this the start of the fallout from the oil price crash…..?

[tmg]

Thanks all, and yes this is related to the depressed oil price. On the bright side I should get a decent exit package, and it may be time for a change of country too [emoji3]

Nice that you got an exit package to take the edge off.

Recruitment fail:

• Tell the candidate that he's been matched to a job he doesn't really want.

• Ask him to take a little test…

• … Which turns out to have the instruction "spend no more than twelve hours on this" in it...

• … And request it be completed by Tuesday afternoon.

I think that the HR department has put me off the company before I've even got to interview. Good work!

And sorry to hear about the job loss @tmg, that's never a fun experience.

Sorry to hear Graeme. It's a tough time of year to get a job. The market won't pick up until after the end of summer. Everyone's still trying to remember what work is inbetween long weekends and back to school.

I had an interview with another company today, so it's not all bad news. I'm not actually feeling much love for coding right now, and am thinking of going my own way.

This will lead to poverty, misery and rickets! Might be fun though.

Ebay seems to be chock full of cheap sobs.  9 offers on a watch I'm selling, zero within 20% of asking price!

I just offered 55% of a sellers asking price on some Aldens (cheap SOB  )

[tigerpac]

The worst!

I just offered 55% of a sellers asking price on some Aldens a Barbour jacket (cheap SOB  )

Barbour is for royalty and farmers

That's what you call a Barbour. Actually gets my respect for that…

@Megatron1505:

Well, the family history definitely qualifies me for purchase as one of the latter.

[Megatron1505]

Is this a Barbour?
