A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

I wish HR would let the departments write their own job ads. Also, HR should be the last to see the applicant. Not the first.
Is that a joke? There's no fucking way me, or my team, or my manager, have any desire, or time, to sift through hundreds of resumes to fill a role. Even dealing with the few that make it through initial screenings is cumbersome.
As long as the base requirements are properly established by the team, and HR ought to be capable of filtering down to good-great candidates for any given position.
The legal department (if any) should be the last.
One of HR's primary duties is to filter out all the people who resume spam postings or who just don't qualify based on the requirements of the company or the hiring manager. When done, they give this resource of human candidates for the hiring manager to do their vetting.
As far as the job ads, a lot of it can be on a lazy hiring manager giving generic requirements or not reviewing/giving feedback on a posting. All it takes is a simple, "Hey, can you change that 'soldering experience' bullet to 'SMD rework experience (down to 0402)'?" If the position is union-based, what gets put on the ad is largely decided by the union along with the legal department to make sure it's all in line with the CBA.
Absolutely not.
My team opened up a position two weeks ago. Within the first 16 hours, we had seven hundred and forty nine applicants. Something like half of them didn't even meet the base requirements, let alone looked like decent options
