@CookieJarObserver Libtards can barely pretend to have independent thought, they just follow what they believe to be the correct line amongst the powers that be. In some ways that makes sense because in a just society there is reason to follow the leader, but libtards lack the capacity to see outside their society, and understand that they do not live in a just society.
There are different mental models for how employees work. A lot of people see them like tiers. Low-medium-high tier. In practice people have talents and skills that can be applied in a lot of ways. Erekter set model of employment. People have qualities which can be arranged in a number of creative ways. Judging qualities and figuring out ways to put them together is probably the hardest part, and why employers like credentials. Credentials are a crutch however.
@veff HR is the worst possible system for human allocation imaginable. People with a degree in not knowing what the fuck the industry is doing being in charge of all new hires. The most direct way to sever the factory floor from the door. It's insane. Foremen hiring on vibes is 10,000% better. Asking dudes what games they like to play would be better. I don't know why more workplaces don't have proficiency tests since that's what the military and the really high up tech companies do. """""Networking""""" (I hate that term) should be the core of hiring and much more flexible and a woman should never touch that process unless she knows a dude well.
@Arkana Credentials aren't how people in the real world work. They're also completely backwards-looking. The whole resume system only really works for people inside their careers. You can only point to your accomplishments when you have some. That kills everyone who might be in the prime of their life but haven't started their career yet.
Gabe Newell was hired by Microsoft on a whim because he was visiting his brother. Valve hired a lot of the guys who made Half-life from the modder community for Quake. It's a shame this model didn't catch on in the rest of society. Just seeing who's good by trying them on is probably the best way to give people a start in life. No one knows what an "education" really is, especially a four year one, but putting an 18-22 year old in a position and seeing what he does works 100% of the time. At the least, you know he's not suited to that if he fails. And more often than not they succeed. Everyone gets something out of it. It's a great model.
It’s great to see people talk about this. You can’t have leftist college or trades be the two options for the country. There needs to be more options than that.
