No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

So basically, I wasn't successful after the work interview for an IT role, the dude on the phones tell me

"Tekkip you interviewed well and you have good technical knowledge but we think you'd be best with a bigger team with a better support network"

What is this bullshit? For the record, I'm deaf with hearing aids, this has gotta be grounds for discrimination surely?

Probably dodged a bullet anyway since there's only 3 technicians and they're putting a lot of responsibility for the shit payment they're handing out.

Why? Do they seriously overlook merit because somebody can't hear well or because they have autism?

we think you'd be best with a bigger team with a better support network

Sounds like they think you're not independent enough for the position. If it is a small team, they might need someone who can immediately start being productive, while they think you will need more coaching to get up to speed.

No need to drag any disabilities into this.

Ding ding ding. This is the exact answer I’d give someone who I didn’t think was independent or self sufficient enough and would require training or additional time and energy from the team that there isn’t time for.

No clue where the disabilities part comes in.

yeah sounds like they think you need mentorship and their team can't provide that more than anything else. You maybe be knowledgeable but how much experience do you have. It's very different to knowledge from a book than having experience with adapt to changing technology or dealing with stuff you don't have any knowledge of. I can't tell you how many people i had to turn down cause they could pass the cert test but could not walk me through how they would troubleshoot a problem. It was more if it's this than do this and if we tried to go any deeper than that they kinda froze. Anyone with experience will tell you certs are a great start but they are only 1/3 of what you need.
